Rod Chant Counselling

08/21/2026

Thinking about family therapy but not sure what to expect? I’m Rod - with 25 years of experience helping families, couples, and individuals - and I keep things straightforward and practical. Family systems therapy looks at how relationships, roles, and patterns shape problems, so a typical session focuses on communication, boundaries, and small shifts everyone can try at home. It’s for anyone feeling stuck in recurring conflicts, parenting challenges, blended-family adjustments, or when one person’s struggles ripple through the household. If you’re in Campbell River, Comox, Courtenay or nearby and curious, I’d love to chat and explain what a first visit would look like. Learn more and book a visit: https://wix.to/pvzpDq1

And resentment is giving energy to it. Let it go but take any lesson to be learned, should there be one, with you.

Communication as Dialogue

There’s so much polarization in the World these days. “If you are not with me, then not only are you against me, but you are actually a threat to me. You are going to burn down my house!” This explains why cults, for example, shut off almost all outside contact or communication. What’s missing is open dialogue. Dialoguing is an exchange of ideas, opinions, perspectives and as such an exchange of information. Gaining information is EMPOWERING. When we obtain information we more often than not, taking control of our life (you can now understand why Cults, dictators, any closed system, does not want this to happen. We can bring this right down to relationships with our partners, our children and our communities. If we can just listen to each other, withhold pre-conceived perceptions and judgement, we build a bridge between us, and learn that we don’t have to enter into conflict, and stir up destructive anger. We can feel safe and gain maybe a little more wisdom about each other. We are actually all in this together on this small planet and don’t forget that!

Anger shows up for all of us — and sometimes it starts running the show. I’ve seen how anger management support can change that. It’s not about stuffing feelings; it’s about understanding triggers, practising calming tools, and learning to say what you need without the blast.

In my sessions we cover practical skills: spotting triggers, breathing and mindfulness, clearer communication, and problem-solving — the things that actually shift day-to-day life. Folks from Campbell River to Comox Valley have told me they sleep better, handle stress more calmly, and reconnect with the people who matter.

If you’ve been thinking about getting help, that first step is worth it. Read more about what anger management can do and how I work at the link below — or reach out if you want to talk about options for individuals, couples, or families. I’m here to help you find a little more peace. 🌿🙂

Myth vs. Fact: Family therapy and addiction treatment - let’s clear a few things up. 💬❤️

Myth: Therapy will “fix” everyone fast.
Fact: Therapy is a process, not a magic cure. I’ve worked with families who first learned to listen differently - and months later, relationships felt safer and substance use dropped. Change takes time, but it happens.

Myth: Family therapy blames one person.
Fact: We look at patterns and connection, not finger-pointing. I’ve seen couples move from blame to teamwork, and parents find new ways to support teens without enabling.

Myth: Counselling promises sobriety.
Fact: I don’t promise outcomes - I offer tools, honesty, and steady support. In years of practice, those tools have helped many clients reduce harm, rebuild trust, and stay engaged with recovery.

If you’re in Campbell River, or the Comox Valley area, Courtenay, Vancouver, and wondering whether family therapy could help your situation, let’s talk. I’ll listen, explain what you can expect, and we’ll decide together.

I've worked in Campbell River for years, and one thing's clear: there are more counsellors now than when I started — but more choices doesn't always make it easier. Not every therapist is the right fit, and that's okay. Take time to shop around, ask referring professionals, and read bios — you deserve someone who understands your needs.

I specialize in seniors' issues (retirement, grief, chronic health challenges, stroke recovery) and provide compassionate, experienced family and couple work. If you're in Campbell River or the Comox Valley and looking for steady, experienced support, I'm here to help you find your footing.
