Dina is simply the best counsellor I’ve ever had. She has the ability to really dig deep into the emotions, grasp what’s happening beyond the surface, and connect the dots to help understand the bigger picture of what’s happening and how to face it. I’ve been to different counsellors before but I can truly see the positive impact of Dina’s practice. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s great!

We're thrilled that you're seeing such a positive impact from your work with Dina, and we deeply appreciate your strong recommendation. Thank you for trusting Well Beings Counselling with your mental health journey, and for taking the time to share how Dina has made such a difference for you.

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Rick. However, it appears this review may have been intended for a different organization. Well Beings Counselling does not operate treatment facilities or issue graduation certificates - we provide outpatient counselling and therapy services. Your review mentions "Emerge" and references a treatment center experience, which suggests this feedback was meant for another facility. We encourage you to review your recent activity and post this feedback on the correct business profile so they can address your concerns about the missing graduation certificate.

Proven Approaches for Depression Therapy We Trust in

At Well Beings Counselling, we believe in using scientifically proven approaches to treat depression effectively and safely. Our registered therapists utilize evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), to help identify the patterns underlying depression and guide the brain toward emotional balance and inner stability.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) treats depression as a pattern of automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) and cognitive distortions that shape persistent low mood and disconnection from reality.

Well Beings Counselling trusts Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) because structured thought-based interventions help clients break the cycle of hopelessness and emotional withdrawal. Cognitive distortions are identified and challenged to reveal more balanced perspectives on daily life. Cognitive restructuring allows individuals to replace automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) with clear, rational thinking that supports emotional stability and long-term improvement.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) addresses depression as a disorder of emotional imbalance, using structured skills to improve emotion regulation and behavioural stability.

We trust Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) because it provides practical tools for managing the intense emotions and interpersonal struggles often linked with depression. Emotion regulation skills reduce emotional reactivity. Distress tolerance in DBT supports clients through crisis moments without avoidance or harm. Our registered clinical counsellors apply mindfulness skills and interpersonal effectiveness strategies in DBT to help clients build stronger, more supportive relationships.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy is a therapeutic approach that explores unconscious conflicts and unresolved emotional patterns developed through early childhood experiences to understand the root causes of depression.

Psychodynamic Therapy offers our team at Well Beings Counselling a structured way to help clients uncover deeper emotional blocks related to depression. Childhood experiences reveal how long-standing emotional wounds continue to affect present-day self-worth and mood. Our registered therapists use defence mechanisms and explore transference and countertransference to bring unconscious patterns into awareness and support emotional change.

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) defines depression as a response to unresolved relationship conflicts and difficulties in managing interpersonal disputes, role transitions, or grief and loss.

Well Beings Counselling uses Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) to address the social and relational factors that contribute to depression. Interpersonal disputes are explored to reduce emotional tension and clarify unmet needs within key relationships. Our clinical counsellors support clients through role transitions and unresolved grief and loss, helping them rebuild connections, confidence, and emotional stability.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) treats depression as a cycle of negative thought patterns and emotional reactivity, interrupted through present-moment awareness and cognitive clarity.

Well Beings Counselling trusts MBCT because it combines structured psychological insight with practical tools to reduce emotional overwhelm and mental fatigue. Mindfulness meditation helps clients notice early signs of depression without judgment, creating space for conscious responses. Our registered psychotherapists use MBCT to support relapse prevention and long-term stress reduction, offering a grounded path toward emotional balance.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a structured therapy approach to treat depression by increasing psychological flexibility and reducing experiential avoidance through values-guided actions.

Our team of registered therapists at Well Beings Counselling uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients who feel stuck in rigid thinking and emotional avoidance. Psychological flexibility improves when clients learn cognitive defusion techniques to reduce the impact of negative thoughts. Our therapists encourage values-based living to help clients reconnect with meaning, direction, and emotional stability during depression recovery.

Behavioural Activation (BA)

Behavioural Activation (BA) is an evidence-based approach that treats depression by reducing avoidance behaviours and increasing engagement in meaningful activities through structured action.

We trust Behavioural Activation (BA) to help clients reconnect with daily routines that support emotional improvement. Activity scheduling increases consistency in positive habits, and positive reinforcement strengthens the connection between behaviour and improved mood. Our registered therapists use mood tracking to monitor patterns and reduce avoidance behaviours that keep clients stuck in depressive cycles.

Humanistic Therapy (Person-Centred Therapy)

Humanistic Therapy (Person-Centred Therapy) treats depression by creating a safe relational space built on unconditional positive regard, where individuals reconnect with their inner potential for self-actualization.

Well Beings Counselling trusts Humanistic Therapy (Person-Centred Therapy) to support clients using a client-centred approach that respects personal autonomy and lived experience. Empathy and active listening form the foundation of each session, enabling clients to feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment. Therapists offer unconditional positive regard to create the emotional safety needed for self-exploration and lasting change.
