Registered Clinical Counselling in Surrey, BC
What is registered clinical counselling at Sojourn Counselling and Neurofeedback?
At Sojourn Counselling and Neurofeedback in Surrey, BC, registered clinical counselling uses evidence-based talk therapies delivered by Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs) to help you work through anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
You’ll work with a trained therapist in a safe, compassionate space to build resilience, understand your patterns, and move toward lasting change in how you feel, relate, and cope.
How does registered clinical counselling work at Sojourn?
Our counsellors draw from a range of approaches and tailor them to you, your story, and your goals. This might include CBT, EMDR, mindfulness-based therapy, person-centred therapy, AEDP, emotionally focused approaches, or integrating neurofeedback when helpful.
- Initial session: Neurofeedback might still be beneficial for you as a tool for optimizing brain function and enhancing performance. If you are looking for ways to improve focus, attention, cognitive flexibility, creativity, and more, consider exploring this therapy.
- Personalized plan: You may find Neurofeedback helpful in addressing occasional or moderate symptoms you experience. Consult with a specialist to determine a customized therapy plan that could assist in improving these areas.
- Ongoing sessions: You’ll meet regularly to work through thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and relational patterns.
- Practical tools: You’ll learn skills you can use between sessions (emotion regulation, nervous-system calming, communication tools, and more).
- Review and adjust: Together we check in on progress and adjust the plan as your needs evolve.

What can you expect in your first counselling session?
It’s normal to feel nervous before starting counselling. Your therapist will move at your pace and explain what to expect. Typically, a first session includes:
- Reviewing your intake information and clarifying what brings you in now
- Talking about your goals, hopes, and any concerns about therapy
- Beginning to explore key experiences, patterns, or symptoms
- Introducing one or two practical tools you can start using right away
- Outlining a plan for future sessions and answering your questions
You don’t have to have everything figured out before you arrive. Your counsellor will help you find words for what you’re going through and map a path forward together.

At Sojourn Counselling and Neurofeedback, our RCCs bring advanced training in trauma-informed, attachment-based, and evidence-based therapies.
How many counselling sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies from person to person. Some people notice meaningful improvement in 8–12 sessions, while others prefer longer-term support. Your counsellor will collaborate with you to set goals and regularly review your progress so you can decide what feels right.
Do I need a referral to see a Registered Clinical Counsellor?
No referral is required. You can book directly with any of our counsellors online. If you plan to use extended health benefits, check with your provider to confirm coverage for Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs).
