How Do I Change Counsellors?

Created by Rosette Lontok, Modified on Tue, 16 Aug, 2022 at 10:13 AM by Rosette Lontok

We understand if you are not satisfied with your counsellor. If you would like to change counsellors, please reach out to our friendly Client Services Team by opening a Support Ticket or reaching out to us on Live Chat. 

 

Sometimes clients need to change counsellors for the following reasons:

  • I don't think this counsellor can provide the type of counselling I am looking for.

  • I've tried a few sessions and I'm still not feeling a good connection with my counsellor.

  • I need to address a different topic area and my counsellor is suggesting I try a counsellor who is specialized in this new area.


Trust takes time to build

We understand that a good trust-based foundation is important for you to experience progress and healing. Sometimes this foundation takes time to build and we recommend patiently trying first and communicating your needs before changing quickly.

 

How do we maintain high-quality counsellors on our platform?

A little more about our Wellin5 Counselling Team:

At Wellin5, we use a heart-first philosophy to guide our actions. This means that we value our clients and our counsellors well-being first and foremost. Our goal is to provide our counsellors with the best experience possible while working with us.

 

We are proud to say that the majority of our counsellors have worked with us since Wellin5 started offering services to the Canadian public and have experienced the ups and downs with us as we've grown together as a company.
