Trauma does not wait for the perfect moment. It can quietly shape the way you feel, think, and relate to others, sometimes for years. You may find yourself stuck in survival mode, exhausted by the weight of past experiences, unsure how to move forward.

At Tidal Trauma Centre, we believe that access to skilled support should never depend on where you live. We provide online trauma therapy across British Columbia, offering safe, specialized care for individuals in every community—from remote northern towns to Vancouver Island and the Interior.

“I live in a small community where there are no trauma therapists. I didn’t believe online therapy would work, but from the first session I felt seen, understood, and safe in my own space.”
– Client, Northern BC

Why Consider Online Trauma Counselling?

Online trauma counselling offers the same high-quality care as in-person therapy, with added flexibility and accessibility:

  • No travel or commuting

  • Ideal for rural or under-served communities

  • Attend from the comfort and privacy of home

  • Flexible scheduling options to suit your life

Emerging research consistently shows that virtual trauma therapy is just as effective as traditional in-person counselling for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, and nervous system dysregulation.

Our Trauma-Informed Approach

You deserve therapy that feels safe, personal, and empowering. Our online trauma therapists offer the same compassionate care as our in-person team:

  • Safety first: You set the pace. Nothing is explored before you feel ready.

  • Real connection: Online therapy can feel surprisingly supportive and relational.

  • Mind-body focus: We integrate nervous system and somatic tools to support regulation and calm, even through virtual sessions.

  • Collaboration: Healing is a shared process. We work alongside you, not over you.

“I was hesitant to try online therapy. My therapist made me feel completely at ease. I could finally relax in my own space and begin to process what I had been holding onto for years.”
– Client, Vancouver Island

Our sessions are delivered securely over encrypted platforms to protect your privacy and confidentiality.
