Sage Hills Counselling
Youth Counselling in Kamloops and Surrounding Areas
Who This Youth Counselling is For
Being a youth is not easy, and neither is parenting one. Whether your youth is acting out, shutting down, or struggling quietly, we are here to help. If any of the following sound familiar, our youth counselling services may be a good fit.
Your youth is feeling anxious, sad, or overwhelmed
They might not have the words to say it, but you can tell something is wrong. School pressure, social dynamics, and internal stress can all weigh heavily. Counselling helps youth name what they are feeling and learn how to cope in healthy ways.
Communication at home has become difficult
You want to support your youth , but conversations often turn into arguments or silence. It can be hard to know what they need. We offer a space where they can open up and where parents can feel reassured that they are not alone.
They are navigating identity, friendships, or big life questions
Many youth wrestle with questions around identity, belonging, and purpose. Counselling creates a non-judgmental place for them to explore who they are and where they fit.
You are worried about their behaviour or mood changes
Sometimes it is not clear what is going on, but something has shifted. Whether it is school refusal, social withdrawal, or new risky behaviour, we help get to the root and work toward positive change.
Why Choose Us
Our Approach to Youth Counselling
Youth need space to be heard and understood on their own terms. We bring a thoughtful, respectful approach that honours each young person’s voice and story. Here is how our process typically works.
Connect with Us
Reach out through our contact form or by phone. We offer a free 15-minute consultation to answer questions and talk about what your youth might need.
Build Trust and Safety
We meet with the youth and sometimes with a parent or caregiver, depending on the situation. Our first goal is to build comfort and trust so they feel safe opening up.
Explore and Support
Through conversation and evidence-informed approaches, we support the youth in understanding their experiences, building coping skills, and making sense of what they are feeling.
Support the Bigger Picture
We continue at a pace that suits the youth and their goals. When helpful, we offer check-ins with caregivers and look at how to support growth both inside and outside of sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do parents need to attend the sessions?
This depends on the age of the youth and what feels right. We may begin with a parent present and then transition to one-on-one support. We always aim to create comfort for everyone involved.
What age group do you work with?
How do I know if my youth needs counselling?
If your youth is showing signs of distress, change in behaviour, or is asking for support, it may be a good time to connect. A free consultation can help you decide what the next step might be.
Is online counselling available for Youth?
Yes. We offer online teen counselling in Kamloops and throughout British Columbia. It is secure and accessible for families with busy schedules or remote locations.
