Sandra Daoust
Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) and Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling (MPCC-P)
You're not broken, and you don’t need fixing. At your core, you're whole. But life, trauma, loss, stress, and relationships can make you feel fragmented/out of alignment. My work is about helping you remember who you are beneath the layers: sovereign and capable of living an authentic life. My approach is collaborative to your unique lived experience. Healing is not linear, but it is possible.

I understand that we can all fall into cycles of negative self-thoughts and limiting beliefs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find a therapist in Surrey?
Theralist's directory connects you with verified therapists across Surrey's six town centres — Whalley (City Centre), Guildford, Fleetwood, Newton, Cloverdale, and South Surrey. You can browse by neighbourhood, therapy type, or specific concerns. All therapists on Theralist are licensed professionals registered with British Columbia's regulatory colleges.
Can I find therapy in different parts of Surrey like Cloverdale or South Surrey?
Absolutely. Surrey is a large, geographically diverse city with six distinct town centres, each with its own character. Whether you're in suburban South Surrey near the US border, the historic farming community of Cloverdale, or the urban hub of the City Centre, Theralist lets you search for therapists by location so you can find one close to home or work.
Are there youth mental health services in Surrey?
Yes. Foundry Surrey Central opened in November 2025, offering free, confidential mental health and substance use support for youth ages 12–24. Operated by Pacific Community Resources Society, it provides drop-in counselling, peer support, and care coordination — no referral needed. Fraser Health also co-locates youth mental health teams on site. Theralist additionally lists therapists who specialize in working with teenagers and young adults.
What types of therapy are available in Surrey?
Surrey therapists offer a variety of evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), EMDR for trauma, couples counselling, family therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. Given Surrey's rapid growth and diverse population, many therapists have experience with issues related to life transitions, family dynamics, and acculturation. Theralist lets you filter by therapy type to match your specific needs.
Can I find a therapist who understands the South Asian community in Surrey?
Surrey has one of the largest South Asian communities in British Columbia, and many local therapists offer culturally informed care that respects family values, community expectations, and the unique pressures faced by first-generation and second-generation individuals. Some therapists on Theralist provide services in Punjabi, Hindi, and other languages. Reading therapist bios can help you find someone whose background aligns with your needs.
How much does therapy cost in Surrey?
Rates in Surrey vary by therapist qualifications and type of service. Some therapists accept extended health benefits, offer sliding scale fees, or are registered with employee assistance programs (EAPs). Contact therapists directly to ask about rates, benefits coverage, and any available reduced-fee options.
Is online therapy available from Surrey therapists?
Yes. Many Surrey therapists offer virtual sessions, which is especially helpful given the city's spread-out geography and the time it can take to travel between town centres. Online therapy through a Surrey-based provider means you can access professional support from home, whether you're in South Surrey or Whalley. Filter Theralist's directory to find therapists offering remote appointments.
