Off -The-Record-Counseling

About me:

Hello, I'm Caroline.

Born in Quebec, I moved to BC in 1997. After graduating from an Art Education program,
I started teaching in 2000. But, as I clearly preferred working one-on-one with the most vulnerable students, I became more interested with social work than teaching in schools.

I started to work for the Squamish Sea to Sky Community Services in 2004 where I had the opportunity to work within a wide spectrum of clientele. My 20 years with SSCS provided me with invaluable lay counseling experience and, I eventually decided to go pro. I obtained certification to practice as a Registered Therapeutic Counselor (RTC), and gained membership with the Association of Cooperative Counseling Therapists of Canada (2018).

 Bilingual practice: French & English.

Although studying in English and living in BC for 27 years, I still speak and cultivate my native French language. 

So I can meet you...

• In your home

• At another location of choice

• Outdoors for 'Walk& Talk' 

Also available :

• Video calls

• Telephone
• Office consultations

Why Mobile?

Seeing you in your own living space can help me getting a fuller idea of who you are and what you care for, your hobbies, the way you inhabit your space.
NB: Your pets are always welcome to join therapy.

Walk and Talk therapy adds the benefit of the outdoors by providing fresh air, nature immersion, and a good opportunity to "Get off The Couch".

The comfort of your own home

There might be times where we want to use a part of the session for meditation, relaxation and somatic experiencing, hypnosis and visualization exercises. It might be more comfortable for you to do this in your own home.

Saving you a drive


Not having to drive can be a plus for kids, seniors, injured/disabled clients, people who don’t own a car.

Environmental/ Climate concerns


I try to ride my bicycle to appointments to reduce carbon footprint. Year round!
I can drive to Whistler and  Vancouver, if need be: I do have a car.
I also have access to office space downtown Squamish. 

My Fees (55 minutes)

Mobile visit or Walk and talk 145$

Online 145$

Office visit 150$

Follow up phone consultations 100$

*Added fee for visits outside Squamish/ depending on driving distance.

About "Walk & Talk"

I offer an outdoor consultation modality for clients who prefer an active vs passive consultations style.

Adding the physical activity component to their counseling sessions can work for people who are intimidated by the face-to-face therapy format. Plus, time spent in nature is never lost.

We can go to your favorite trail, or find a walk/hike corresponding to you need and/or level of fitness, as well as with the time we have. There is no pressure to perform. We can also sit in the park, if the weather, and timing permits.
