I have been working with a therapist at Well Beings for a few months now, and I look forward to our sessions; I'm not sure if that's odd to say! The therapist I work with, Brenda, is wonderful. Her approach is a match for the things I am working through and I appreciate her calm demeanour, non-judgmental approach, and her positive way of leading our sessions. She regularly checks in to make sure I feel like we are working toward my goals together, and I feel safe and secure in sharing with her. I really appreciate her and Well Beings Counselling for connecting us!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Josh, for such a thoughtful and detailed review of your experience with Brenda. It's wonderful to hear that you look forward to your sessions that's actually a great sign of a strong therapeutic connection! Your description of Brenda's calm demeanor, non-judgmental approach, and positive way of leading sessions really captures the qualities that make her such an effective therapist. The fact that she regularly checks in to ensure you're working toward your goals together shows her commitment to collaborative, client-centered care. Most importantly, we're glad you feel safe and secure in sharing with Brenda. Thank you for appreciating both Brenda's work and our role in connecting you with the right therapeutic match.

susanne Y.

I know there are bigger problems in the world, but somehow—even in retirement—my life had become too busy. My calendar was overflowing with commitments that no longer aligned with what I truly wanted.

Working with Alex was a turning point. Through her thoughtful coaching, I was able to clarify my priorities, reconnect with what brings me joy, and gain the confidence to step away from some things.

Now, I’ve made space for the balanced life I actually want to live.

Alex is an absolute delight to work with. Her warm, grounding presence—and her gorgeous, restorative office—made every session feel like a retreat.

Don’t hesitate to reach out. She has a wealth of wisdom to share.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Susanne, for such a thoughtful and detailed review of your experience with Alexandra. It's wonderful to hear how therapy has helped you navigate this important transition in retirement. Moving from an overflowing calendar to a life that truly aligns with your values and brings you joy. We're delighted that Alex's warm, grounding presence and the environment of our Kelowna office made each session feel like a retreat. Thank you for sharing your journey and for encouraging others not to hesitate in reaching out. Life transitions at any stage deserve thoughtful support, and we're honoured that we could be part of helping you create the balanced, fulfilling life you wanted. Wishing you continued joy in this new chapter!

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.

Your perspective as someone who has been both a provider and recipient of our services offers a unique and valuable insight.

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.

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.

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.

I can’t thank Well Beings Counselling in London enough for their incredible support during a difficult time.

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.

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.

A wonderful and life changing experience.

I was hesitant starting out therapy, but as soon as the first session started I knew I was in good hands. My psychotherapist was very smart and kind, and I felt very safe and comfortable working with them. Things have been life changing since my sessions and I am very happy with the counselling services offered at their Downtown Toronto location. Highly recommend this professional company.

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. My best friend suggested this place, and it was a lifesaver. Pareen is unlike other counselors, she actually listened to me and made me feel safe and valued.

Response from the owner:Hi S - we thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Pareen enjoyed working with you and helping alleviate the anxiety that you were feeling.

Pareen has helped me get through a really tough period in my life. My lack of motivation and negative emotions were impacting every part of my life. With her support, I have been able to overcome the worst. I am so grateful to be able to continue our sessions as I continue to push through. Pareen is extremely patient and communicates effectively. Can not recommend well beings enough!

Proven Approaches for Teen Therapy We Trust in

Well Beings Counselling believes in using scientifically proven approaches to treat cognitive behaviour effectively and safely. Our therapy methods are grounded in evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), family therapy, play therapy, and dialectical behaviour therapy. The approaches help teens recognize the patterns behind distressing thoughts and support their minds in responding with emotional steadiness and a stronger sense of self.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a teen counselling approach that helps teens understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact to influence mental health.

Well Beings Counselling trusts cognitive behavioural therapy to support teens experiencing emotional distress, behavioural issues, or mental health disorders that affect daily life and relationships. Each session includes thought records and cognitive restructuring in cognitive behavioural therapy, challenging unhelpful patterns through Socratic questioning as a guided process. Our registered therapists at Well Beings Counselling also apply behavioural activation and exposure therapy to help teens reduce avoidance, build coping skills, and regain control over emotional responses.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a teen counselling approach that combines cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with mindfulness to help teens manage overwhelming emotions and build healthier relationships.

Well Beings Counselling applies dialectical behaviour therapy to support teens struggling with emotional dysregulation, impulsive behaviours, or patterns associated with borderline personality disorder (BPD) through the lens of biosocial theory. Each session focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help teens strengthen their ability to respond constructively. Our registered therapists at Well Beings Counselling use dialectical behaviour therapy strategies to enhance self-awareness, improve emotional balance, and support long-term behavioural change.

Family Therapy

Family therapy explores relational dynamics and communication patterns to resolve emotional and behavioural challenges within the family system.

Well Beings Counselling trusts family therapy to understand how each family member’s role contributes to ongoing teen behaviour and emotional distress. Our registered therapists apply structural family therapy, Bowenian family therapy, and strategic family therapy. Each family therapy session at Well Beings Counselling integrates narrative therapy and genogram work to identify generational patterns that shape present dynamics and strengthen long-term emotional resilience.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT)

Trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT) is an adolescent therapy designed to address post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma through evidence-based cognitive behavioural therapy strategies.

Well Beings Counselling trusts TF-CBT to support teens experiencing emotional distress by combining trauma processing with cognitive behavioural therapy to help reframe painful memories. Our registered therapists implement PRACTICE components in TF-CBT, such as psychoeducation, relaxation, and cognitive coping, to reduce trauma-related symptoms and build healthy coping habits. Each TF-CBT session at Well Beings Counselling encourages caregiver involvement to strengthen family support and reinforce emotional healing beyond the therapy room.

Play Therapy

Play therapy is a structured and evidence-based therapeutic method that uses play as a medium to help children and teens express emotions, resolve conflicts, and develop coping skills.

Well Beings Counselling trusts play therapy because it builds a strong therapeutic alliance, allowing teens to feel emotionally safe while engaging in meaningful expression. Our registered therapists use child-centred play therapy (CCPT) and balance it with directive play therapy to address both internal struggles and behavioural challenges. We support emotional healing through non-directive play, sand tray therapy, and art therapy, giving each teen a creative outlet to process difficult experiences at their own pace.

Art Therapy

Art therapy is a recognized form of psychotherapy that uses the creative process to help teens explore emotions, improve mental health, and support trauma healing.

Well Beings Counselling trusts art therapy because it transforms emotional expression into something visible, giving teens a voice when words fall short. Our registered therapists guide each session using expressive arts to gently uncover inner distress while maintaining a non-judgmental and secure space. Art Therapy supports trauma healing through consistent engagement in the creative process, offering a proven path toward improved mental health and long-term emotional resilience.

Music Therapy

Music therapy is a clinically proven method that utilizes musical engagement to enhance emotional regulation, mental health, and social functioning in teenagers.

Well Beings Counselling trusts music therapy because it combines emotional safety with structured rhythm-based interventions that deepen therapeutic impact. Our registered therapists work closely with teens by using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques within music therapy sessions. Guided by the standards of the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA), we offer neurologic music therapy (NMT) for neurodivergent teens, including those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), to promote sensory balance, social connection, and long-term mental health support.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a short-term, strengths-based approach that helps teens move toward meaningful change by emphasizing solutions, future-oriented thinking, and what’s already working.

Well Beings Counselling trusts solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) because it empowers teens to recognize progress through focused conversations rooted in the brief therapy model. Our registered therapists use SFBT techniques like the miracle question, exception questions, and scaling questions to spark insight, build confidence, and shift attention toward achievable goals. Using a strengths-based approach, SFBT promotes future-oriented thinking that supports emotional clarity and resilience during the challenges of adolescence.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT)

Mindfulness-based therapy is a clinically supported approach that combines present moment awareness with therapeutic techniques to help teens reduce emotional overwhelm and regain mental clarity.

Well Beings Counselling uses mindfulness therapy to support teens who experience anxiety, mood swings, or constant overthinking through simple grounding techniques and emotional observation. Well Beings Counselling trusts mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), and structured meditation to help teens. Each session blends mindfulness with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to interrupt negative thought patterns and create emotional space for calm, control, and clarity.
