Kelvin Chung, RCC
Areas of Focus: Individual Counselling, Couple/Marriage Counselling, CVAP Counselling Cases, ICBC Counselling Cases, IFS Therapy
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), I am passionate about empowering clients to overcome challenges and discover their inner resilience. I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where individuals and couples can explore their struggles and develop effective strategies for personal growth and healing.
I have experience and training in helping clients navigate:
- Stress, Anxiety, and Depression: Including workplace stress, school-related pressures, and immigrant adjustment challenges.
- Relationship and Family Dynamics: From parenting concerns to enhancing communication and trust in couples.
- Trauma and Recovery: Supporting clients through the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP) and helping them rebuild their lives.
- ICBC Counselling Cases: Assisting individuals recovering from motor vehicle accidents by addressing trauma, anxiety, and adjustment challenges.
With an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach, I adopt a systematic, bottom-up method to help clients uncover the roots of their challenges. My practice is enriched by working with diverse populations, including college students, new immigrants, and individuals coping with trauma, grief, or addiction.
In addition to my counseling practice, I provide low-cost services to the Hong Kong community in Canada through the Hong Kong Companion Society, which I founded to support individuals facing mental health challenges related to political and cultural transitions.
Fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, I offer in-person sessions at my office in Queensborough, New Westminster, as well as services in Richmond, Burnaby and Surrey. I also provide online counseling for clients across British Columbia. I am also available to collaborate with schools, universities, and other organizations as an independent contractor for counselling services.
My mission is to help clients feel grounded and confident as they navigate life’s complexities. Let’s work together to create positive, lasting change.

I use evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs.
