What to know
UDistrict, built around the University of the Fraser Valley campus, brings a student-heavy caseload into sessions with Ibadat Kaur, a Registered Clinical Counsellor at Revive Rehab's Gladwin Road clinic — academic pressure, social anxiety, and the identity questions that come with the university years. Her client-centred approach draws on CBT, ACT, mindfulness-based techniques, and solution-focused strategies.
What Does Counselling for Academic Stress Involve?
Sessions work on the specific anxiety of deadlines, exams, and performance pressure, alongside the broader adjustment of living independently for the first time — these often feed each other more than students expect.
Who Should Book From UDistrict?
Students managing academic stress, perfectionism, or social anxiety, along with faculty and staff with ordinary anxiety or low mood, are common clients here.
How Long Does Counselling Take?
Academic-term stress often responds within six to eight sessions, timed around exam periods and semester breaks where possible.
How Much Does a Session Cost?
Cost depends on session length. Many student extended health plans cover Registered Clinical Counsellor sessions, and Revive Rehab confirms your coverage before billing directly.
Why Book From UDistrict?
The clinic is a quick drive north from the UDistrict campus area via King Road and Gladwin Road, with virtual sessions available for exam weeks when getting to an appointment is hard to fit in.

“I had a really great experience with my psychotherapist Jasleen. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly has a lot of experience in her field. I always felt understood and supported during our sessions. She's also very kind and easy to talk to, which made a big difference for me.”
