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.

My counsellor helped me see patterns I never noticed before. Sarah is super attentive, patient and compassionate. You can tell when you're talking the gears are turning, she comes up with good solutions, she's a problem solver.

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. Should you ever return to the Metro Vancouver area or need virtual counselling services, our team will always welcome you back. Wishing you both continued happiness and connection in your new chapter!

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.

I was visiting Vancouver for a friends wedding, and suddenly had a anxiety attack from all of the planning and shenanigans. I was the photographer and it was really stressful time.

Proven Approaches for Life Transition Therapy

Well Beings Counselling believes in scientifically proven approaches that foster resilience, emotional adaptability, and psychological growth during life transitions. Our experienced therapists use evidence-based methods such as cognitive reframing, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and solution-focused therapy to help individuals navigate significant life changes with clarity and confidence.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that helps individuals navigate life transitions by identifying cognitive distortions, reshaping core beliefs, and developing adaptive coping strategies.

At Well Beings Counselling, our licensed therapists trust in the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to support individuals experiencing significant life changes by integrating cognitive restructuring to reframe unhelpful thoughts and strengthen emotional resilience. The structured approach incorporates stress management techniques and behavioural activation strategies to promote a sense of stability and control. Cognitive therapy empowers individuals to move forward with confidence and emotional well-being by addressing deep-rooted cognitive patterns and reinforcing adaptive behaviours.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals navigate life transitions by fostering psychological flexibility. It allows them to accept discomfort and align actions with personal values.

At Well Beings Counselling, our specialized therapists trust ACT for its ability to guide individuals through life transitions by promoting psychological flexibility, which allows them to respond to change with openness and adaptability. Our Licensed therapists assist individuals in identifying what truly matters to them through values clarification, providing direction and purpose during times of uncertainty. Incorporating cognitive defusion techniques and mindfulness practices, we help clients reduce experiential avoidance, enabling them to accept difficult emotions while embracing change with confidence and resilience.

Mindfulness-Based Approaches

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) helps individuals navigate life transitions by focusing on solutions, future goals, and strengths rather than dwelling on past challenges.

At Well Beings Counselling, our therapists trust SFBT for its ability to empower individuals during life transitions by focusing on goal setting and envisioning a preferred future through the miracle question. We use strengths exploration and exception finding to highlight moments of success and resilience, helping clients recognize their capabilities. Through scaling questions, our certified therapists work with individuals to measure progress and maintain momentum, ensuring they feel equipped and motivated to move through transitions with confidence and clarity.

Person-Centred Therapy

Person-centred therapy supports individuals through life transitions by fostering self-awareness, personal growth, and emotional well-being in a compassionate, non-judgmental environment.

At Well Beings Counselling, our therapists trust Person-Centred Therapy to help individuals navigate life transitions by providing a therapeutic space rooted in unconditional positive regard, where every experience is valued and respected.
