Individual Counselling Services in British Columbia and Ontario, Canada

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in negative thought patterns, or struggling to handle life’s challenges can make every day feel like an uphill battle. At Well Beings Counselling, we provide a safe and supportive environment where our registered therapists help individuals regain clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT), and Person-Centred Therapy, sessions empower self-discovery, build resilience, and foster lasting change.

Feeling Lost and Unheard Every Single Day

Struggling with overwhelming emotions can make every day feel like an uphill battle, leaving you disconnected from yourself and those around you. Clarity feels out of reach when thoughts become tangled, and self-doubt takes over. The weight of unprocessed emotions, persistent worry, or past experiences can make it difficult to focus, build relationships, or find a sense of peace. When inner struggles remain unheard, they can lead to frustration, exhaustion, and a deep sense of isolation.

Find Your Voice and Healing at Well Beings Counselling

Healing begins when you’re given the space to be genuinely heard and understood. Our registered clinical therapists at Well Beings Counselling offer Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you break free from negative patterns, process unresolved pain, and embrace personal growth. Through trauma-informed counselling, emotional regulation strategies, and stress management techniques, our experienced therapists support you in building resilience, strengthening self-acceptance, and regaining control over your life.

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. We're touched by your story of receiving support during a difficult time, and it beautifully illustrates our belief that everyone - including therapists - needs compassionate support sometimes. 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.

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.

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. Happy my union benefits cover the expenses providing the opportunity to overcome what’s been negatively affecting my life. Thanks

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.

Psychodynamic Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and many others strengthen psychological flexibility by encouraging individuals to align actions with deeply held values.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach in individual therapy that helps individuals identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours to improve emotional well-being.

AT Well Beings Counselling, we apply CBT to support individuals in challenging automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) that contribute to anxiety, stress, and self-doubt. Our experienced therapists use cognitive restructuring techniques to help clients reframe unhelpful thinking patterns while incorporating behavioural activation to encourage positive actions that align with personal goals. Therapeutic sessions also focus on exploring core beliefs through thought records, enabling individuals to develop healthier perspectives and regain control over their emotions and behaviours.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy is an insight-oriented approach in individual therapy that explores the unconscious mind to uncover unresolved conflicts, emotional patterns, and past experiences influencing present behaviour.

Our registered clinical therapists for individual therapy at Well Beings Counselling utilize psychodynamic therapy to help individuals gain self-awareness by identifying defence mechanisms that may be unconsciously shaping their thoughts and relationships. Our registered clinical therapists guide clients through free association, allowing them to express their thoughts and emotions spontaneously, thereby revealing deeper psychological patterns. Psychodynamic therapy fosters a deeper understanding of interpersonal dynamics and emotional healing, grounded in principles rooted in Sigmund Freud’s foundational work.

Person-Centred Therapy

Person-Centred Therapy is a client-centred approach in individual therapy that empowers individuals by encouraging self-growth, self-awareness, and emotional healing in a supportive and non-directive environment.

Our registered psychotherapists for individual therapy at Well Beings Counselling believe in the transformative power of Person-Centred Therapy to help individuals feel heard, valued and understood through unconditional positive regard. Our registered therapists prioritize empathy in therapy, ensuring a deep, genuine connection that allows clients to explore their emotions without fear of judgment. Our registered therapists’ congruence (genuineness) is used to build trust and encourage self-actualization, helping individuals unlock their full potential and create a more fulfilling life.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT)

Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) is an approach in individual therapy that encourages present-moment awareness, allowing individuals to observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment while developing healthier coping strategies.

At Well Beings Counselling, we utilize MBT to help individuals manage stress, anxiety, and emotional distress by promoting acceptance and non-judgmental awareness in their daily lives. Our compassionate therapists use Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) techniques to promote relaxation and emotional regulation, fostering a deeper connection between the mind and body. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and breath awareness empower individuals to break free from negative thought cycles and develop inner peace.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach in individual therapy that promotes psychological flexibility by helping individuals accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful actions.

Our experienced therapists at Well Beings Counselling apply ACT to support individuals struggling with anxiety, stress, and self-doubt by encouraging acceptance of thoughts and emotions rather than resisting them. Our experienced therapists utilize cognitive defusion techniques to help clients disentangle themselves from unhelpful thought patterns, thereby creating space for a more balanced perspective. Mindfulness in ACT and values clarification help individuals align their actions with personal values, encouraging a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a brief therapy approach in individual therapy that focuses on finding practical solutions and building on existing strengths rather than analyzing problems in depth.

At Well Beings Counselling, we employ Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help individuals create positive change by emphasizing what is working and guiding them toward achievable goals. Our registered therapists use the miracle question to encourage clients to envision a future without their current struggles, helping them identify meaningful steps forward toward achieving their goals. Scaling questions and exception-seeking are used to highlight progress and uncover moments of success, reinforcing a strength-based approach that empowers individuals to regain confidence and move forward with clarity.

Gestalt Therapy

Gestalt therapy is an experiential approach in individual therapy that emphasizes here-and-now awareness, encouraging individuals to fully experience their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in the present moment.

Our registered counsellors at Well Beings Counselling use Gestalt therapy to help individuals develop self-awareness and personal responsibility through a holistic approach that connects emotions, cognition, and behaviour. Our experienced therapists apply Gestalt principles of perception to help clients recognize patterns that influence their experiences and foster deeper self-understanding. The empty chair technique and dialogue experiment offer individuals a space to express unresolved emotions and explore inner conflicts, ultimately fostering emotional growth and authentic self-expression.

Narrative Therapy

Narrative therapy is an approach in individual therapy that helps individuals reshape their identities by separating themselves from their problems and rewriting their personal stories in empowering ways.

At Well Beings Counselling, we trust in the effectiveness of narrative therapy to help clients gain control over their experiences by externalizing problems, reducing self-blame, and encouraging self-compassion. Our experienced therapists facilitate therapeutic conversations that challenge dominant versus alternative narratives, enabling individuals to shift their perspectives and adopt more empowering self-views. Counselling supports re-authoring life stories by guiding clients through the deconstruction of problem-saturated stories, allowing them to build resilience and reclaim their sense of agency.

Existential Therapy

Existential therapy is a client-centred approach in individual therapy that helps individuals explore life’s more profound questions, emphasizing personal meaning, freedom and responsibility, and the pursuit of an authentic existence.

At Well Beings Counselling, we believe in the power of existential therapy to support individuals facing uncertainty, emotional struggles, and existential anxiety by helping them find meaning in their lives. Our registered therapists guide clients in embracing death awareness and mortality as a way to deepen appreciation for life and strengthen emotional resilience. Therapy encourages authenticity and self-discovery by providing structured self-reflection, enabling clients to align their actions with personal values.

Frequently Asked Questions from Well Beings Counselling's Patients about Individual Counselling

The following are some of the frequently asked questions by our patients about individual psychotherapy.

What If I Become Too Dependent on Therapy?

Our therapy services have been designed to empower, not create dependence. Our experienced Therapists gradually encourage self-reliance by reinforcing emotional regulation and problem-solving skills, reducing the need for long-term intervention. The goal is to equip clients with tools that promote personal growth and emotional stability beyond therapy sessions. If concerns about reliance arise, open discussions with the therapist allow for adjustments in treatment focus, ensuring therapy remains a stepping stone toward lasting well-being.

Will I Have Enough Time With My Therapist to Discuss All My Worries and Negative Thoughts?

Therapy sessions are structured to ensure that every concern is addressed at a comfortable pace. A therapist collaborates with clients to prioritize worries and negative thoughts, ensuring that each session remains focused and productive. Strategies like guided discussions, cognitive restructuring, and goal-setting help maximize time while deepening self-awareness. As sessions progress, therapeutic techniques empower individuals to manage distress outside of therapy, building long-term emotional resilience. Open communication about session structure enables personalized adjustments, creating a supportive environment for reflection and growth.

How Long Will It Take To Feel Better With Well Beings Counselling's Individual Therapy Services?

The timeline for feeling better with Well Beings Counselling’s individual therapy services varies based on personal challenges, therapy goals, and engagement in the process. Many individuals start noticing improvements in emotional regulation and coping skills within 4 to 8 weeks, while deeper concerns such as trauma, anxiety, or negative thought patterns may require longer-term support. Regular session reviews and collaborative goal-setting help track improvements and adjust strategies for meaningful, lasting change.
