We provide Clinical Counselling for individuals, couples and families
In-person and telehealth sessions are available
With counselling and therapy services available in Nelson and beyond, West Kootenay Wellness Centres counsellors aim to provide you with a calm, safe, and non-judgmental environment. This is a space made for you, so that you can openly discuss the challenges you are having. Primarily, individual counselling is designed to help you learn new and healthy ways to cope with a wide range of issues. Our counsellors are trained and experienced in helping our clients to make significant emotional, mental and social improvements in their lives.
The Clinical Counselling treatments and approaches used in our sessions are foundationally integrative, ecological and evidence-based. This means the sessions are shown to be effective by scientific research. The specific techniques that we use will vary depending on your goals and reasons for seeking assistance. We typically utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness techniques. However, we also incorporate other approaches (i.e. humanistic, solution-focused, narrative) as appropriate or needed.
In our practice, we work with youth and adults to assist them and their families in addressing a variety of issues. This includes trauma and PTSD, mental health concerns including depression and anxiety, behavioral difficulties, and stressful life transitions. We support couples to navigate difficult relationship patterns and communication breakdowns.
