Murrayville has a rhythm to it—a sense of history, stability, and community that you don’t find in newer developments. But even in the most established neighbourhoods, life doesn’t stand still.
Maybe your kids have grown and left home, and you’re not sure who you are without them. Maybe you’re navigating a blended family and it’s more complicated than you expected. Maybe you’re facing a health challenge, a career shift, or a relationship that needs attention.
Our counselling practice is located 10–12 minutes from Murrayville. Our team works with individuals, couples, and families who are moving through transitions — expected or unexpected — and need support along the way.
Murrayville families often come to therapy at pivotal moments — times when stability shifts and familiar routines begin to change.
In an established community with deep roots, these transitions can feel especially personal. Support during these seasons can help restore clarity, connection, and direction.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Your life is specific. Your challenges are unique. Your therapy should reflect that.
You don’t need permission to ask for help. You don’t need to wait until things are unbearable.
Getting started is simple. We’ll have a free 15-minute phone consultation to talk about what you’re going through and see if we’re a good fit.
Murrayville is one of Langley’s oldest and most established neighbourhoods — a place where familiar faces still greet each other at the post office, where the Murrayville Farmers’ Market draws residents together each season, and where the rhythm of life feels distinctly different from the newer subdivisions surrounding it. This community character shapes the clients who come to us for support.
The area around Murrayville Park and the historic streets of Old Yale Road retain a village-like atmosphere that long-time residents deeply value. The Langley Memorial Hospital, located nearby on Fraser Highway, is an anchor institution for the area — and its proximity reflects the reality that many Murrayville families are at a stage of life where health, aging, and caregiving are becoming more central concerns.
The Murrayville Community Hall and local churches remain important social hubs for many residents. Organizations like the Langley Seniors Resource Society, Langley Care Society, and the Family Services of Greater Vancouver (with Langley-based services) are all community supports that we can help connect clients with when needed.
Murrayville’s population skews older than many parts of Langley, and many of the families we see from this area are navigating the significant emotional territory that comes with the empty nest phase of life. When your last child leaves home, the house can feel unexpectedly quiet — and the relationship you and your partner built around the busyness of parenting may need some careful tending.
This transition is more complex than most people expect. Parents often describe a confusing mix of pride, relief, grief, and disorientation. Some couples find themselves looking at each other and realizing they need to get reacquainted. Others discover that the busyness of parenting was masking unresolved tensions that now need attention. Individual therapy can help you explore this new chapter with intention — figuring out what you want from this next stage of your life.
Murrayville is home to many blended families navigating the practical and emotional complexity of combining households, co-parenting across two homes, and helping children adjust to new family configurations. These situations often require support that is nuanced, non-judgmental, and grounded in the realities of family life — not theoretical models.
We work with blended family members at all stages: the early adjustment period when a new partner’s children are still testing boundaries, the ongoing co-parenting challenges with an ex, the grief that children of divorce can carry for years, and the relationship stress that accumulates when stepparenting is harder than expected. Our therapists are experienced in helping these families build stronger foundations.
Our counselling office is conveniently located at #315 – 20385 64th Ave, Langley, BC — approximately 10 to 12 minutes from the heart of Murrayville. You can easily reach us via Fraser Highway or 64th Avenue. Free parking is available on site.
Virtual counselling sessions are also available and are a popular option for Murrayville clients who prefer the convenience of connecting from home, particularly those with mobility concerns, caregiving responsibilities, or demanding work schedules.
Darcy Bailey is the founder and Clinical Director of Darcy Bailey & Associates Counselling. With a Master of Social Work (MSW) and registrations as both a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), Darcy brings years of deep clinical experience to her work with Murrayville-area individuals, couples, and families.
Darcy has extensive experience working with clients who are navigating life transitions — particularly those in the empty nest and retirement phases of life, those navigating the complexity of blended families, and those facing the grief and identity shifts that accompany significant change. Her warm, direct approach helps clients move through uncertainty with greater clarity and self-compassion.
In addition to traditional talk therapy approaches, Darcy holds a Diploma in Art Therapy (DipAT), which informs a creative, whole-person perspective on healing and emotional processing. This is particularly valuable for clients who find it hard to articulate their inner experiences in words alone.
Alongside Darcy, our team includes a group of experienced therapists who work with Murrayville-area clients across a range of specialties, including empty nest transitions, couples counselling, blended family therapy, anxiety, depression, grief, EMDR trauma therapy, and caregiver burnout. Our Client Care Team will match you with the right fit for your specific needs and stage of life.
We offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation — no commitment required. It’s a chance for you to share what you’re going through, ask questions, and decide whether we’re the right fit for you.
