Self Wellness Counselling Services

The first time I walked in and met Janelle, I had never been to therapy before but I was able to easily connect with her, be myself and was able to open up. She always knows the right thing to say and was able to help me cope with many issues. I've been working with her for the past 6 months and she is worth every penny. I would definately recommend sessions with Janelle at Self Wellness Counselling and Mental health Services.

Janelle is a pleasure to work with and helped me live a happier, healthier life. I would definitely recommend her to anybody!

Janelle is a fantastic therapist and really helped me get through a difficult time in my life. She was understanding and patient the whole way through the process. I can't recommend her enough!

Janelle was a wonderful therapist to work with in every way. After just a few sessions of working together and learning so much from her deeply insightful knowledge, thoughts and advice, I was able to effectively reflect and act on aspects of myself and my life in ways I was never able to before. It was a transformative experience that has moved me so much more closer to better mental health, and I would highly recommend Janelle to anyone!

Janelle has helped me to focus in on the issues I need to work on. At every step of the way, she finds what I call ‘kernels of truth’ that crystallize the sometimes rambling thoughts I express. My focus has been on some family challenges plus anxiety triggered by certain events. I will continue to turn to Janelle to assist me in working through these issues - and I’m sure there’s more…!!! Janelle is also very attentive and a terrific listener. Thank you, Janelle, for your ongoing support!

Janelle is an attentive and very caring therapist. While she remains a consummate professional, she is friendly and warm. Janelle is a wonderful therapist and counselor. She created a safe space which helped to establish a lot of trust. I tell my friends she is the bestie I pay lol. There is a need for connection, honesty and for someone to understand lived experiences. As a woman of colour it means so much to have a therapist understand cultural nuances. She is intuitive and honest which helps to work through things that may not be comfortable to discuss. I am very grateful to have found her and highly recommend her services every chance I get.

I don't even know where to begin! For the past 3+ years I have been seeing Janelle and felt so safe opening up to her from the very start. She was someone I leaned on heavily during some rough moments in my life and I can honestly say I wouldn't have been able to approach situations, learn from situations and rebuild from situations if it wasn't for her.I would *highly* recommend Janelle a thousand times over to anyone looking for counselling.And to Janelle: Thank you for all that you've done for me. I truly would not be where I am now if it wasn't for you.

I had a wonderful experience being under Janelle's professional care. She's everything you'd want in a therapist and more: compassionate, non-judgemental, a great listener, flexible, and honest. She's incredibly intuitive and makes each session a warm and comforting environment.I also appreciated that, as a woman of colour, she completely understood the nuances of my lived experiences in a way that made me feel heard and safe.Would definitely, definitely recommend!

I took three weeks to write this review for Janelle, as she has impacted my life. I cannot stress how incredible she is as a mental health counsellor. We have been working together for the last four years, and I've leaned on her during two long-term relationships, work emergencies, and other life crises. Despite being highly experienced in dealing with these types of situations due to volunteering at a suicide prevention hotline for ten years, there are times when I still need a helping hand emotionally. That's where Janelle stepped up - she taught me strategies to remain mentally grounded, cope with my past traumas and heal my relationship with myself and others. Janelle taught me that it is okay to allow yourself to rest and that I do not need to be a workaholic. She encouraged me to get back into photography (@v.m.e.3_photography on Instagram) and to allow myself to explore my creative side. Though it's impossible to eliminate fear, Janelle enabled me to live with it. With her help, I feel much better now and am more confident.
