Alistair Gordon is a a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Psychotherapist, founder of Wellspring Counselling & Psychotherapy Inc., and developer of CorMorphosis™ Psychotherapy.
I help people transform the way they think, feel, and live. Whether it’s overcoming anxiety, healing from trauma, reducing stress, or building stronger relationships, my goal is to help clients move beyond survival into growth, confidence, and thriving.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Psychotherapist, founder of Wellspring Counselling & Psychotherapy Inc., and developer of CorMorphosis™ Psychotherapy—an innovative, integrative approach that creates lasting emotional transformation through experiential change. I am clinically trained in EMDR, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and draw on a broad foundation of evidence-based methods to meet the unique needs of each client.
Over the years, I’ve supported clients with anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, phobias, stress, and life transitions, as well as those seeking greater self-discovery, self-esteem, parenting support, and improved communication. My work is rooted in the belief that therapy is not just about resolving problems, but about fostering resilience, clarity, and self-actualization.
In addition to my clinical practice, I have taught as an Adjunct Professor of Counselling Psychology at UBC and am a published author. These experiences have deepened my passion for both practice and teaching, and for making therapy accessible and transformative.
Outside of my professional life, I am a dedicated husband and father. My personal interests include world history, philosophy, strategy, peace-building, and the art of constructive debate—all of which inspire the way I understand human growth, conflict, and transformation.
Alistair specializes in EMDR, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and CorMorphosis™ Psychotherapy.
You may have heard of EMDR in the news—Prince Harry even shared a live EMDR session on camera, describing how it helped him process difficult experiences (watch here).
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps process and resolve experiences stored not just in conscious memory, but also in the body and emotional system. These deeper layers—called implicit memory—include unconscious patterns and reactions shaped by past experiences, even those we may not fully remember.
EMDR can help you move through what’s stuck, unlocking emotional and psychological healing at the root.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) involves bringing attention to emotionally distressing memories while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones that alternate between the left and right sides of the body. This process helps activate both hemispheres of the brain.
Through this dual attention, EMDR allows you to access and reprocess unresolved memories, helping the brain form new connections between past experiences, present-day reality, and more adaptive beliefs about yourself. Over time, this can lead to profound shifts in the core self-beliefs that keep old emotional patterns alive.
While EMDR follows a structured, multi-phase protocol, this is a simplified overview of how the process works.
Alistair is a professional member of the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) and integrates this approach within a broader, trauma-informed, and experiential therapy framework.
