About Well Beings Counselling
Registered Clinical Counsellor & Psychotherapists for Mental Health Support in British Columbia & Ontario, Canada
About Us
At Well Beings Counselling (WBC), our journey is deeply personal and rooted in a shared commitment to reflecting Canada’s rich cultural diversity. Six years ago, as a wife-and-husband team, we envisioned a therapy practice in British Columbia and Ontario where every individual, regardless of background or identity, could find a therapist who truly understands them. Starting with just the two of us, we’ve grown into a diverse team dedicated to supporting everyone on their unique journey.
Our mission has always been to ensure there’s “someone for you.” We believe that healing is most effective when therapists and clients connect on a cultural level, fostering trust and understanding. This belief has guided us in building a team that mirrors Canadians’ diverse experiences.
From the beginning, we recognized the importance of cultural competence in mental health care. By embracing our clients’ unique perspectives and experiences, we aim to provide therapy that resonates on a deeper level, promoting genuine healing and growth.
Our commitment remains steadfast as we continue to grow: to offer a safe, inclusive, and understanding environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. At WBC, we’re not just providing therapy; we’re building a community that celebrates and supports the diverse journeys of all Canadians.
Our Journey: Building a Culturally Inclusive Practice

Our story is one of passion, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to cultural inclusivity in mental health care.
