get to know josh
You don’t have to have the right words to begin.
I’m Joshua Abercrombie, a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC, MA, B.Ed, BA) in Abbotsford. I help men, neurodivergent clients, young people and families move towards wholeness and a sound mind through counselling support. My Christian faith and belief in healing through Jesus are central to my life and work, and many of my clients share this foundation. I also welcome individuals of all faiths or none, with faith included in counselling only if you’d like it to be. As an RCC, my sessions may be covered under many extended-health plans.
My approach draws on over a decade of experience as a high school counsellor and special education teacher. I offer compassionate, practical support, with space for honest conversations and your individual needs. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening and work towards changes that matter to you.
first steps
What to expect
What happens in a first session?
We talk about what is bringing you in and what you are hoping for. There is no pressure to share everything at once — we go at a pace that feels manageable, and you can ask me anything about how I work.
Do I have to talk about faith?
No. My Christian faith is part of who I am, but faith is included in counselling only if you would like it to be. I welcome clients of all faiths or none.
What if I don't know what to say?
That is completely normal, and very common. You don’t need a script — part of my job is helping you find the thread, with questions and room to think. Most people find the words come once we start.
What does it cost, and how do I start?
Sessions are $150 per 50 minutes, and it starts with a free 20-minute consultation so we can see if it’s a fit. Full details are on the Fees page.

Find support that fits
What’s bringing you here?
Men’s counselling
When pressure turns into anger, withdrawal or feeling stuck, talking about it may feel unfamiliar. Counselling offers space to explore what’s underneath, strengthen your relationships and work towards changes that matter to you.
ADHD Counselling
Keeping up with responsibilities, managing emotions and navigating relationships can feel exhausting when you have ADHD. Explore support that takes your experience seriously and helps you find ways to approach everyday life that work for you.
Autism Counselling
You deserve support that respects how you think, communicate and experience the world. Counselling can help you explore overwhelm, burnout, anxiety and relationship challenges, with room for your individual needs and preferences.
Youth & Teen Counselling
Support for young people ages 9–18 navigating emotions, school, friendships and challenges at home.
Family Counselling
Support for families working through communication, conflict and life transitions, together.
Walk-and-talk counselling in Abbotsford
Counselling while walking side by side on agreed local trails in Abbotsford. A full 50-minute session with the same support as in the office — outdoors, where talking often comes easier, with a little less privacy than a closed room.
Faith and counselling
Room for your faith, your questions and your experience.
Christian faith is welcome in the room here — not just as background, but as part of the work when you want it to be: prayer and prayer exercises in session, Scripture as a resource, and honest space for doubt, church hurt, guilt and shame. And you're equally welcome if you'd rather leave faith out of it entirely.
