Inner Light Counselling has quietly become a trusted place for people in Port Moody seeking practical, compassionate mental health support. With over seven years serving the Tri-Cities, they specialise in anxiety, depression, relationship repair and grief work, and are known for combining evidence-based therapies with plain-speaking, practical strategies that clients can use between sessions.

They offer individual counselling, couples therapy, and group workshops. Examples include 50-minute individual sessions using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction, a six-week couples communication series grounded in Gottman techniques, and monthly grief support groups limited to eight participants. Sessions are available in person in their comfortable clinic space (three consulting rooms across 850 square feet) and online by secure video, which many clients prefer for scheduling flexibility.

What they do is hands-on and tool-oriented. Therapists at Inner Light are Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) and hold additional certifications in trauma-informed care, EMDR, and perinatal mental health. Intake includes a structured assessment and a clear treatment plan with measurable goals, homework exercises and progress check-ins every four sessions. The team emphasises pacing that fits each client, practical coping tools, and transparent session notes so clients know exactly what was covered.

People choose Inner Light because the service feels local and straightforward. The clinic is on St. John’s Street, easy to reach by bus and a short walk from the waterfront, and therapists often collaborate with family doctors and community supports in Port Moody. Clients say they appreciate the warm reception, the clear next steps after each visit, and a focus on real-life improvements. For appointments or questions call 672-822-8962.
