At Wishing Well Counselling, we recognize the importance of being able to communicate in the language you're most comfortable with, especially during sensitive and emotional conversations. That’s why we offer counselling services in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin through our team of bilingual and trilingual counsellors. Whether you're seeking support as an individual, a couple, or as a family, we can provide a space where language is not a barrier to healing and understanding.

Our Approach

Our multilingual counselling services are particularly beneficial for families and couples where different members may prefer to communicate in different languages. For example, one spouse may prefer speaking English while the other is more comfortable in Chinese. Our counsellors are skilled at navigating these language and cultural dynamics, fostering clear communication and mutual understanding.

Counselling Services We Offer

• Depression and Anxiety Disorders
  Anxiety and depression affect not only the individuals but also their families. These common mental health challenges can create feelings of isolation, fear, and hopelessness. Our counsellors provide a safe space for you and your loved ones to understand these conditions and learn effective coping strategies.
• Life and Career Transitions
  Major life changes, such as starting a new job, becoming a parent, or adjusting to an empty nest, can bring anxiety and uncertainty. Our counselling services will guide you through these transitions, helping you feel empowered and prepared for the future.
• Personal Growth and Development
  Counselling isn’t just for addressing emotional struggles. It can also help you unlock your potential, enhance your relationships, and overcome habits or patterns that may be hindering your personal growth.
• Grief and Loss
  Losing a loved one or experiencing other forms of loss can be one of life’s greatest challenges. Our counsellors are here to help you process grief, find healing, and rebuild after loss.
• ICBC-Related Counselling
  If you’ve experienced trauma from a car accident, counselling can be a crucial part of your recovery. Our counsellors can guide you through the emotional aftermath, and in some cases, these services may be covered through ICBC’s rehabilitation programs.
• Trauma and Crime Victim Counselling
  For those who have experienced traumatic events, such as accidents, natural disasters, or violence, our trauma-focused counselling can help you work through the lasting emotional and psychological impacts. We are also approved providers under the Crime Victims Assistance Program.
• Premarital Counselling
  Premarital counselling helps couples prepare for the challenges of marriage by exploring topics such as communication, financial management, and family dynamics. This service is tailored to your unique relationship needs, typically spanning six to eight sessions.
• Couples Counselling
  Marriage is a partnership that requires ongoing effort and communication. Our counsellors help couples address common challenges like communication breakdowns, financial stress, or parenting conflicts, and work toward rebuilding trust and intimacy.
• Parenting Support
  Parenting comes with its own set of challenges. Our counsellors can work with you to develop effective parenting strategies, better understand your child's needs, and navigate any concerns you may have about your child’s behavior or emotions.
• Family Counselling
  Every family has its own unique dynamics and challenges. Whether you’re dealing with tension, conflict, or communication issues, our family counsellors will help you restore balance and foster healthier interactions among family members even across multiple generations.
