FNHA counselling

Online FNHA Counselling in British Columbia

FNHA counselling is mental health counselling accessed through the First Nations Health Authority Mental Wellness and Counselling benefit. The benefit exists so that eligible First Nations clients in BC can reach qualified mental health providers without cost being the first barrier.

This practice provides that counselling online. Sessions are held by secure video or by phone, so you can meet from home, from a family member's house or from anywhere private in the province. For clients in rural, remote and northern communities, online counselling often removes hours of travel.

Seeing a provider registered with the Health Benefits Program matters, because the program covers counselling delivered by providers it recognizes. That is why we ask about your coverage early and confirm the process before your first session, rather than leaving you to sort out paperwork on your own.

Whether you are searching for FNHA mental health counselling, an online counsellor in BC, or simply someone to talk to, you are welcome to reach out with questions before committing to anything.

Why clients choose us

Compassionate Counselling That Meets You Where You Are

Counselling works best when you feel safe, respected and genuinely heard. That is the standard we hold ourselves to in every session.

Experienced Mental Health Professional

Counselling is provided by Mukesh Mishra, RCSW, a registered clinical social worker with professional experience supporting adults through mental health, emotional and life challenges.

Online Across British Columbia

Appointments are virtual, so there is no office to drive to and no waiting room. All you need is a private space and a phone, tablet or computer.

Culturally Respectful Care

Your identity, family, community and lived experience are treated with respect. Cultural safety means you are never asked to explain or justify who you are in order to be supported.

Confidential & Private

Sessions are held on a secure platform, and what you share stays confidential within the limits of professional practice and BC law. Those limits are explained clearly up front.

Individualized Support

There is no single script. Your goals, pace and circumstances shape the work, and you stay in control of what you talk about and when.

Easy Access

One phone call or message is enough to start. We will talk through your needs, your FNHA coverage and the appointment process in plain language.

His approach is client-centred and trauma-informed: he begins with listening, takes cultural context seriously, and works collaboratively rather than handing out advice.

Benefits

Understanding FNHA Mental Health Benefits

The First Nations Health Authority administers health benefits for eligible First Nations people in British Columbia. Its Mental Wellness and Counselling benefit is intended to give eligible clients access to counselling from qualified mental health providers, including virtual and Telehealth appointments.

For counselling to be covered, clients need to see a provider registered with the Health Benefits Program, and FNHA advises clients to mention their Health Benefits coverage when scheduling an appointment. Session limits and approval requirements are set by the program.

Questions about your FNHA benefits?

For questions about eligibility, coverage amounts, approvals or claims, contact FNHA Health Benefits directly — they are the authority on your file and can confirm exactly what you are entitled to. We are an independent counselling practice and cannot decide coverage on FNHA's behalf.

If you would rather start by talking with a counsellor, you can contact FNHA Counselling and we will help you understand the next steps.
