Seyda B.

As both a therapist working at Well Beings Counselling and someone who has personally received support here, I can say this place is truly special. The environment is warm and deeply client centred. I had the privilege of working with one of my fellow therapists at Well Beings during a particularly difficult emotional period in my life, and I’m so grateful for the support I received. His approach was grounded, insightful, and incredibly validating. It reminded me that even as therapists, we all need someone to walk alongside us at times.

I feel proud to be part of a team that not only offers high quality care but genuinely lives the values of empathy, growth, and integrity. Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or looking for a deeper healing journey, I can say from both professional and personal experience that we are in good hands here.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Seyda, for sharing both your professional and personal experiences with Well Beings Counselling. Your perspective as someone who has been both a provider and recipient of our services offers a unique and valuable insight.

Your words about our team living the values of empathy, growth, and integrity reflect exactly what we strive for every day.

Coleen R.

K o r r y is a lovely kind understanding therapist. She listened very carefully to everything I had to say. She validated my thoughts and opinions. It felt like a very safe and welcoming environment. However, what I was really hoping to take away from our discussion was some tools to give me something to work with or some recommendations to help me process this journey of loss and deep grief.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful feedback about your experience with Korry. We're pleased to hear that you felt heard, validated, and safe in her care - these foundations are essential for effective therapy. We also appreciate your honesty about wanting more practical tools to help process your grief and loss. This feedback is valuable as we continually strive to balance emotional support with actionable strategies.We encourage you to return and share your needs directly - helping clients navigate their grief journey with both compassion and practical support is our priority.

I was a little nervous going into my first appointment but my therapist at the Kelowna location made me feel comfortable right away with her warm smile and calming office.

We have dabbled with numerous counsellors, and without hesitation Dina is our favourite. She met our needs as a couple. She quickly builds meaningful connection and approaches her work with respect, frequent check-in’s, joy and laughter. If we weren’t moving provinces, we would see Dina to maintain the strength she has instilled in us.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your heartfelt review of your couples counselling experience with Dina at our Coquitlam clinic. We're truly grateful that you found the meaningful connection and relationship support you were seeking after trying several counsellors.

Grateful for my first experience with therapy being with such a solid, understanding and helpful person. Ive met with Amanda Hille a few times now and our last session I felt an extreme boost in self confidence and other areas I been struggling in. I see the benefits of 1 and 1 counselling.

Excellent services offered here. I’ve been visiting Anissa for a while and she’s done a very good job with me so far. She’s very good at handling things and very pleasant and professional to deal with. Highly recommended. Robin from the admin team is excellent as well, and very quick to assist in anyway she can with bookings and/or requests.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Dave! We are proud to hear our team's efforts have been successful.

kate C.

Everything moved very quickly, from the time of inquiry to the professional & detailed forms to answer preliminary questions. I was able to reach out, type some background info, and be in contact with a (for lack of a better word) receptionist/ phone consultant, within two days, and by the middle of the next week had my first appointment in-person. Not to mention my first appointment with Sarah was quite enjoyable. I felt safe, understood and not dismissed like I had in previous therapy experiences through different service providers. Thanks! I look forward to & hope for a continual experience as such.

Response from the owner:Hi Kate, thank you for this kind review! We are so thrilled to read you've had a positive experience. We aim to provide this level of care to all our clients.

Jennifer M.

Dina and her approach to therapy are wonderful! She is compassionate, intuitive, and collaborative. She brings a beautiful balance of head and heart. The insights I have gained from my work with Dina have made a positive impact on my life - on myself and my relationships. In addition to these deep, meaningful, serious insights - I also appreciate that Dina provides room for laughter! I can’t say enough positive things about Dina and my work with her. If I could give her an 11 out of 10 star rating - I would.

Response from the owner:Hi Jennifer! We are thrilled to hear that counselling has had such a positive impact on your life. Thank you for sharing your experience. We hope it inspires others to seek insight and make positive change.
