Clinical Counselling Services in Kelowna & Online Across British Columbia
Janine Thompson, MSW, RSW, offers compassionate, evidence-based counselling for individuals, couples, parents, and families. Whether you’re attending in-person sessions in Kelowna or connecting through secure online therapy anywhere in B.C., you’ll find a safe, inclusive space to explore your challenges and support your growth.
Types of Counselling Offered
Individual Counselling
Explore emotional challenges, life transitions, and personal goals in a confidential, one-on-one setting. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, resilience, and healing—at your pace.
Parent and Family Counselling
Navigate parenting challenges, family dynamics, and communication breakdowns with supportive, nonjudgmental guidance. I help families reconnect and strengthen their relationships.
My Counselling Style
My approach is client-centred, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I believe in creating a therapeutic space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow.
Here’s what you can expect when we work together:
• A safe, nonjudgmental space to reflect and explore
• Fresh perspectives and tools for managing challenges
• Insight into patterns, behaviours, and internal strengths
• Tailored interventions based on your needs and goals
• Support in aligning your life with your values
• Encouragement to cultivate meaning, connection, and joy
“It’s quite possible that things will turn out far better than you imagine.”
Areas of Focus
I support clients through a broad range of concerns related to mental health, trauma, and life transitions, including:
Mental Health & Emotional Well-Being
• Depression and low mood
• Anxiety and panic
• Substance use concerns
• Trauma and post-traumatic stress (PTSD)
• Survivors of abuse (emotional, physical, sexual)
• Unresolved grief and loss
Life Transitions & Personal Growth
• Major life changes (parenthood, retirement, relocation, career shifts)
• Low self-esteem or self-worth
• Parenting stress and burnout
• Relationship tension or family conflict
• Identity exploration and self-discovery
Professional Consultations for Healthcare Providers
I welcome collaboration with professionals including:
• Family physicians
• Psychiatrists
• Occupational therapists
• Teachers and school counsellors
• Other mental health practitioners
If you’re a healthcare provider seeking counselling support for a patient or client, or are interested in consulting on complex cases, I’m happy to connect.
Therapeutic Approaches Used
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I tailor each session using evidence-based approaches that support emotional healing, self-awareness, and behavioural change:
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Solution-Focused Therapy
• Mindfulness-Based Interventions
These approaches are integrated with care and intention, based on your needs, preferences, and readiness.
I respectfully acknowledge I live, work and play within the ancestral, traditional and unceded territory of the Sylix Okanagan Nation.
