Our Story

At Wellspring Counselling & Psychotherapy Inc., we believe that real healing begins with compassion and grows through understanding. Our name reflects what we stand for — a wellspring of inner renewal that exists within every person, waiting to be discovered through care, insight, and connection.

Founded by Alistair Gordon, a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia, Wellspring began with a simple mission: to make therapy that is grounded in science and rooted in care available to people everywhere.

What started as a small private practice has evolved into a trusted network of clinicians serving clients across British Columbia and other Canadian provinces through secure online therapy. Each therapist brings their own expertise and humanity, united by a shared belief that people are not defined by their struggles — and that every challenge contains the potential for growth.

At Wellspring, therapy isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level coping. It’s about transformation — helping individuals, couples, and families reconnect with their deepest strengths, develop emotional clarity, and build a life aligned with who they truly are.
