Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in Ontario and British Columbia, Canada

Persistent stress, negative thoughts, and overwhelming worries can damage your emotional well-being and daily life. At Well Beings Counselling, our Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) services help you break free from these mental barriers and develop a healthier mindset. Our experienced therapists use thought restructuring, emotional regulation, and practical coping strategies to guide you toward lasting change.

Struggling with negative thoughts?

Trapped in Your Own Negative Thoughts Every Single Day?

Recurring cognitive distortions and overwhelming automatic thoughts make daily life feel like an uphill battle, reinforcing deep-seated core beliefs that erode self-confidence and emotional stability. When persistent doubts, irrational fears, and self-criticism take control, even the simplest tasks feel exhausting. Without intervention, these thought patterns solidify, leading to avoidance, disengagement, and emotional distress—making it difficult to break free from the mental loop that fuels anxiety and depression.

Break Free from Negative Cycles with Well Beings Counselling

At Well Beings Counselling, our structured cognitive restructuring techniques help individuals challenge negative perceptions and reshape limiting beliefs into healthier, more constructive perspectives. By addressing automatic thoughts at their source, our certified therapists guide individuals toward meaningful change, empowering them with practical strategies to regain control. Through targeted interventions such as behavioural activation, clients rebuild confidence, restore motivation, and cultivate emotional resilience for lasting well-being.

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.

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. Dina's approach to couples therapy focuses on building trust, communication skills, and relationship strength through respectful engagement and regular check-ins—exactly what you highlighted in your feedback. While we're sad to see you leave Coquitlam as you move provinces, we're incredibly proud that the relationship tools and strength Dina helped cultivate will continue to serve your partnership.

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.

Proven Approaches for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy We Trust in

Well Beings Counselling believes in scientifically proven approaches that create lasting change by addressing thought patterns, emotional responses, and behavioural challenges. Our certified therapists use structured approaches such as self-monitoring, relaxation and stress reduction strategies, cognitive restructuring, and others to empower individuals to regain control over their mental well-being and experience long-term psychological growth.

Cognitive Restructuring (Thought Challenging)

Cognitive restructuring in cognitive behavioural therapy involves identifying, evaluating, and modifying cognitive distortions to develop a healthier and more balanced thinking pattern.

At Well Beings Counselling, cognitive restructuring is trusted as a powerful method to reshape unhelpful thought patterns and foster emotional resilience. Thought records help individuals track automatic thoughts, while Socratic questioning challenges negative assumptions, leading to more rational perspectives. Through balanced thinking and emotional regulation, individuals gain control over their cognitive responses, improving overall mental well-being and daily functioning.

Behavioural Activation

Behavioural Activation restores emotional well-being by encouraging engagement in pleasant activities, breaking avoidance patterns, and reinforcing positive emotional responses.

We trust in the effectiveness of Behavioural Activation to help individuals regain motivation and emotional balance. Our cognitive behavioural therapist guides clients through activity monitoring to identify patterns of withdrawal and disengagement that contribute to low mood. Structured activity scheduling ensures the gradual reintroduction of meaningful experiences, fostering a sense of accomplishment and emotional stability. Mood tracking helps assess progress, reinforcing the connection between positive actions and improved mental well-being, empowering individuals to build resilience and lasting psychological growth.

Exposure Therapy

Exposure therapy in cognitive behavioural therapy involves systematically confronting anxiety triggers to reduce avoidance behaviour and build emotional resilience.

At Well Beings Counselling, we trust in the effectiveness of exposure therapy in reshaping cognitive and emotional patterns. Our licensed therapists design structured fear hierarchy plans that guide individuals through carefully monitored experiences, ensuring a safe and supportive approach. Gradual exposure allows clients to face distressing thoughts while reducing reliance on safety behaviours that reinforce anxiety. By addressing deep-rooted patterns, clients develop healthier coping strategies and experience lasting relief from anxiety-related challenges.

Problem-Solving Therapy

Problem-solving therapy in cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying challenges, developing practical solutions, and implementing strategies to enhance emotional well-being and daily functioning.

At Well Beings Counselling, problem-solving therapy is trusted as a practical and structured approach to overcoming life’s difficulties with clarity and confidence. Problem identification allows individuals to pinpoint stressors, while solution generation fosters creative and adaptive thinking to explore potential ways forward. Through decision-making, an implementation plan, and problem evaluation, individuals gain the skills to navigate challenges, build resilience, and create lasting positive change.

Cognitive Journaling

Cognitive Journaling restructures negative thought patterns by promoting self-awareness, encouraging trigger identification, and fostering the development of alternative thoughts to reshape emotional responses.

At Well Beings Counselling, we trust in the power of Cognitive Journaling to create lasting cognitive and emotional shifts. Our Certified therapists guide individuals in maintaining thought records to track recurring patterns and gain insight into underlying concerns. Clients develop a deeper understanding of their thought processes by documenting emotional responses and engaging in reflection notes. Structured journaling enhances self-awareness and empowers individuals to reframe distressing beliefs, fostering long-term emotional well-being.

Relaxation Techniques & Stress Reduction

Relaxation techniques and stress reduction focus on calming the mind and body to regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and improve well-being.

We trust relaxation techniques to manage stress and enhance emotional resilience. Deep breathing helps individuals restore physiological balance, while progressive muscle relaxation releases physical stress-related tension. Guided imagery, mindfulness exercises, and meditation practices foster a state of inner calm, promoting long-term mental clarity and emotional stability.

Skills Training

Skills Training enhances emotional and interpersonal well-being by developing communication skills, fostering self-awareness, and strengthening adaptive coping mechanisms.

At Well Beings Counselling, we trust in the effectiveness of Skills Training to empower individuals with the tools needed to manage daily challenges. Our licensed therapist provides emotional regulation skills to help individuals navigate distressing situations with greater control and clarity. Assertiveness training encourages confident self-expression, reducing anxiety in social interactions and personal relationships. By integrating coping strategies and conflict resolution skills, individuals build resilience, improve problem-solving abilities, and cultivate meaningful connections that support long-term mental well-being.

Graded Exposure (Hierarchy Building)

Graded exposure in cognitive behavioural therapy involves systematically confronting fear triggers through a structured, step-by-step process to reduce anxiety and build confidence.

We trust graded exposure as an effective method to help individuals regain control over fear-based responses. Our therapists create a personalized fear triggers list to identify situations that cause emotional distress and establish a structured approach to confronting them. Anxiety rating using the SUDS scale allows clients to measure their emotional intensity at each stage, ensuring that progress is tracked accurately. A step-by-step exposure plan ensures gradual progression, and mastery tracking reinforces personal achievements, fostering resilience and long-term emotional stability.

Identifying Core Beliefs

Identifying Core Beliefs uncovers deep-seated thought patterns that shape emotional responses and behaviours, helping individuals replace negative self-beliefs with positive core beliefs.

Well Beings Counselling trusts in the power of examining core beliefs to create lasting emotional change. Our therapists guide individuals through automatic thought analysis to recognize how daily thoughts contribute to emotional distress. Understanding repeated thought patterns and underlying assumptions allows for the restructuring of limiting beliefs that reinforce anxiety and self-doubt. Through a structured therapeutic approach, individuals replace unhelpful narratives with positive core beliefs, fostering confidence, emotional balance, and long-term psychological resilience.

Self-Monitoring

Self-monitoring in cognitive behavioural therapy involves actively observing, documenting, and evaluating thoughts, emotions, and behaviours to identify patterns and triggers affecting mental well-being.

At Well Beings Counselling, we trust self-monitoring as a transformative approach to empower individuals to take control of their emotional and behavioural responses. Thought tracking and mood logging help recognize recurring cognitive distortions, while behaviour recording and trigger identification allow for deeper self-awareness in daily life. Regular progress review ensures therapy effectiveness, reinforcing positive changes and fostering long-term resilience.
