Hannah is amazing. She's caring and compassionate, and I will not have counseling done by anyone else. She's helped me alot over these months. I highly recommend her.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kathryn at a recent counselling conference, and I’m grateful our paths crossed. As a fellow private practice owner, I always appreciate connecting with professionals who bring both heart and expertise to their work, and Kathryn immediately stood out. Our conversations were thoughtful, engaging, and reflected her genuine passion for helping others. She has a warm, approachable presence and a sincere commitment to supporting her clients through life's challenges. It was clear to me that she cares deeply about the people she works with and strives to create a safe, supportive, and empowering therapeutic environment. Meeting Kathryn left me feeling inspired and reminded me of the many dedicated professionals who make such a positive impact in our field. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and trustworthy counsellor.

We loved connecting with Kathryn from Island Clinical Counselling. Kathryn is one of those people who exudes kindness but also excellence in everything she does. I cannot recommend her and her teams enough. We look forward to partnering with Island Clinical Counselling for our Island clients!

Unfortunately, I felt this was more like a business matching clients than a counselling practice. It felt cold and more transactional than my past experiences. I just expected more warmth and a sense of care. The counsellor was nice, just inexperienced, but like the other post here, I was immediately asked for a review after just meeting. That did not feel right and so I think it's important people are aware of this.

My son had only one appointment and I was already being asked to leave a Google review. It felt uncomfortable and a bit pressuring, because I worried that not doing it could affect the relationship going forward. I’m also concerned for people who rely on reviews when choosing counselling, as I did. knowing if a counsellor is good or helpful, takes time. What's the priority here? Really unhappy about this.

Sondra provided a warm welcome and allowed me to tell her my situation and what I was hoping for in terms of treatment. Sondra informed that that I would be a good candidate for EMDR, which is what I was seeking. Sondra performed a devisualization exercise with me that had immediate effect on my body. And it’s something that I can do almost anywhere to help myself. I left feeling in control of my thoughts.

Michael welcomed me today, with his only interest being my personal well-being. It was obvious from the start that he is there for his clients first and foremost, and that was solidified during a wonderful first session, where he was very attentive, empathetic, and genuine. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Carrie was very easy to talk to - especially for a first appointment. The room was relaxing and parking was easy :)

These are the councilors you are looking for! That is if you are Neurodivergent and want someone who specializes in that. I felt safe right away as soon as I met mine. She has been helping me through tough times dealing with past trauma and relationships. And validating me after years of not being validated for anything.

My daughter absolutely loves the Artful Masters youth classes and looks forward to them every week. Since starting, we've seen a wonderful increase in her self-confidence, her ability to set healthy boundaries, and healthier ways of expressing herself. We're also so grateful for the positive impact of her 1:1 counseling sessions with Hannah – we're already seeing significant benefits. Island Clinical Counseling's support has been invaluable in helping my daughter navigate her challenges.
