Raise Confident, Resilient Kids with Wellspring Counselling in BC
Family & Parent Counselling Therapy: Parenting is a fulfilling journey of love, learning, and personal growth. However, it also has its challenges. Every parent wants to give the best to their child, but past experiences, daily stress, and moments of doubt can sometimes be overwhelming.
At Wellspring Counselling, we provide a caring and supportive space for you to talk about your parenting experiences and feelings. We aim to give you practical strategies and helpful insights to build a stronger connection with your child. We use guidance and proven techniques to help you handle parenting with confidence, patience, and understanding.
Good parenting starts with understanding yourself. To help your child, you need to see how your own childhood and unmet emotional needs affect your parenting. Spend time reflecting on yourself, healing old wounds, or getting support to break negative patterns. This can help you build a healthier and more connected relationship with your child.
Learning effective parenting strategies is essential, but taking care of your emotional well-being is just as vital. How you respond to your child in their early years shapes their confidence, emotional strength, and independence. By understanding what your child needs at different stages and changing your approach as they grow, you build a strong foundation for their future success.
At Wellspring, we help parents build their child’s self-esteem and motivation with simple strategies. Our methods adapt to each stage of childhood so parents can confidently support their child’s emotional and developmental needs.
Investing in your growth as a parent helps your child and your whole family. Creating a caring and supportive home builds a strong foundation for your child’s emotional well-being and improves family connections.
Parenting is a rewarding but challenging experience. At Wellspring Counselling, we know that each family has different struggles. We offer the guidance and support you need.
Our parenting counselling helps you confidently manage your child’s emotions and behaviours. Whether you’re facing tantrums, sibling fights, or other behaviour issues, we provide you with practical strategies to create a healthy and positive home environment.
We provide a safe, caring space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered. We aim to help you strengthen your relationship with your child and develop the skills needed for a happy family life.

Clients Say
Mr. Gordon is someone that captures the spirit and the heart of active engagement. He is empathic, genuine and incorporates action and creative problem solving into his practice. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Gordon as an effective career and personal counsellor.
I had no experience with therapy and was unsure of the whole process. Alistair made everything very accessible and unintimidating. It was clear that he puts quite a lot of effort and preparation into every session. I'm so glad that I decided to do this, and could not have asked for a better person to help me with this. I would highly recommend Alistair to anyone who has ever thought that they might benefit from talking to a professional.
I am a young professional which for a long time now, has struggled with anxiety, insecurity, and difficulty in finding effective life coping mechanisms. Alistair was referred to me by a friend and upon the first meeting, I found Alistair to be empathetic, compassionate and intuitive. I have now been seeing Alistair regularly for 6 months and through that time my anxiety has significantly decreased, I have found effective methods of dealing with stress, found support dealing with identity issues, as well as finding inner strength to get through a tough break up. Alistair again and again, went the extra mile -thank you Alistair for your candor, openness and a safe space to get support. Thank you for playing such a large role in keeping me healthy and positive.
I have been working with Alistair Gordon as my counsellor at Wellspring for almost 6 months now and cannot begin to tell you how far I have come with his help. I have tried working with other counsellors and therapists in the past but never really found one that clicked for me. I always felt judged, unsupported, and rushed at those appointments until I booked my first appointment with Wellspring and with Allistair. To anyone on the fence about booking an appointment or engaging in therapy: if you are willing to do the work, you couldn't ask for a better partner in your healing journey.
When I decided to find a counsellor, I tried to find someone that I could relate to, someone that is like-minded and down-to-earth and with Alistair I really found the right person. He uses an integrative approach, showed me techniques to relax and get aware of my emotions, and helped me see things in a new perspective. Of course this is an ongoing process but I enjoy meeting and working with Alistair every time. The downtown office is a very neutral place - not too intimate, not too clinical - which is helpful to overcome apprehension, especially the first couple of times. What I find remarkable is that Alistair almost always knows what I'm trying to say, even if I can't put it into words. Working with Alistair helped me a lot and it was the right decision to put my trust in him.
Alistair really cares about you the person, and I could really feel him trying to tackle my challenges. He was also very available for off-session contact via text and email. I think he did a great job with confronting me where I needed it. Alistair always could remember the important peoples' names in my personal life, which really helped with talking about my problems. I really felt like I was talking to a friend.
Alistair is an awesome counsellor. He has been so helpful in working with me through some tough times in my life. He's always been available to chat with me in-between sessions. I'd recommend Alistair to anyone - he's really the ideal counsellor in my view.
I enjoy how sessions are collaborative where I can take the lead for the direction of what we talk about, and at the same time I know that Alistair will offer helpful guidance and insight along the way. I also like how we focus on the future instead of just the past. I find this to be empowering and helpful to move forward in life.

I have always felt very comfortable with Alistair. He has a calming presence, and you can tell he cares about being the best counsellor for you. He helps you with all aspects of your concern, and is always able to help me find a solution to the problem I'm having.
Alistair is an exceptionally talented counsellor and has always demonstrated strong ethics, great compassion, wisdom and respect for others. I highly recommend him as a counselling practitioner.
