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 in 2016 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 in Vancouver and throughout British Columbia. Each of our expert Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs) and Registered Psychotherapists (RP) bring 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.
