What Is Steadfast Counselling?

Updated

Steadfast Counselling is a group counselling practice based in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia. It offers counselling both in person and online, with appointments available day or evening, seven days a week, across four locations. If you are looking for a counselling practice in that region — or for online sessions with counsellors based there — this page explains what the practice offers and how to find the right counsellor for your situation.

Who they are

Steadfast Counselling describes itself as a group of experienced counsellors dedicated to supporting clients to "live a life that matters to them." The practice acknowledges that many people seek counselling during a difficult time or in the midst of a crisis, and positions itself as a safe place to understand, explore, and make changes that feel right for the client. It also serves people who are not in crisis but want support and guidance to make a change and cannot yet see a way forward.

The practice is led by Laura Bradley, Clinical Director & Therapist, and includes senior associate counsellors, associate counsellors, and junior associate counsellors — a structure that suggests a range of experience levels and fee points may be available, though the homepage does not list pricing.

Services offered

The homepage lists the following counselling services:

  • Individual Counselling
  • Anxiety Counselling
  • Grief & Loss Counselling
  • Trauma Counselling
  • Couples Therapy
  • Couples & Marriage Counselling
  • Separation & Divorce Counselling
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

The practice notes that its counsellors are trained in a variety of practices and therapies, so the specific approach you receive will depend on the individual counsellor you choose.

Locations and availability

  • Four locations across Greater Vancouver, British Columbia. The practice's description names Vancouver, North Vancouver, New Westminster, and Langley.
  • Online or in person sessions.
  • Day or evening appointments, 7 days a week.

This combination matters if your schedule is the main obstacle: evening and weekend availability plus an online option means you are not limited to a standard weekday, in-office slot.

What to check before booking

  • Fees and insurance coverage — the homepage does not publish pricing, so ask directly when you book, especially if you plan to claim through extended health benefits.
  • Counsellor fit — since services span individual work, couples therapy, trauma, and grief, confirm that the counsellor you select lists your area of focus in their profile.
  • Format — decide whether you want in-person sessions at a specific location or online, and confirm the counsellor offers that format.
  • Availability — the practice advertises seven-day scheduling, but individual counsellors will have their own hours; the booking site or JaneApp will show actual openings.
