Samantha Young’s Victoria counselling office is located near Hillside avenue and Quadra street. She offers counselling sessions in an office setting but is also able to take these sessions outside into the natural world. For individuals that find it difficult to open up in a regular counselling setting or who have a strong connection to nature, having sessions outside can prove beneficial.
