Welcome to Cygnus Counselling’s online booking page. Cygnus Counselling offers trauma-informed and inclusive counselling services in-person on Gabriola Island, BC and online to residents of Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, and across BC.

I do my best to organize my appointments so they are easily scheduled online. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please email me as I might have availability outside of what appears here. I may offer counselling for 2 people (or more) on a case-by-case basis, please contact me directly at Leslie@cygnuscounselling.ca.

Free Consultation

If you are not an existing client you will need to book a consultation prior to scheduling an appointment. This is time reserved for us to discuss what you are looking for in counselling and to ask me questions about my practice.


Individual Counselling

Choose between in-person or online (telehealth) appointments.

I may offer counselling for dyads (or more) on a case-by-case basis, please contact me directly. Don't see what you are looking for? I do my best to make online schedule easy and I may have times available outside of the listed session times. Email me at Leslie@cygnuscounselling.ca.
