ADHD / ADD

Let’s help you be the best version of yourself. ADHD is often accompanied by other mood disorders and can lead to significant problems with self-esteem, identity, and relationships. Statistically, there is about double the amount of men than women with ADHD. With the use of CBT, ADHD coaching, and mindfulness, ADHD counsellors work to use this as their superpower. If you’ve recently been diagnosed, regardless of age, let’s find the best support for you.

Anger Management

Momentous counsellors understand how our emotions impact how we behave. By increasing emotional awareness, how we experience emotions within our body, and our relationship with different emotions, clients can begin to regulate more effectively. We also incorporate coping strategies, various exercises and interventions into sessions.

Anxiety Counselling, including Stress, and Coping

Anxiety can significantly impact your quality of life, affecting your relationships, work, sleep, and overall well-being. We support individuals, teens, and families with evidence-based strategies to manage stress, reduce overwhelm, and build resilience.

Our approach to anxiety therapy is both practical and compassionate. We offer tools to help you cope with day-to-day anxiety symptoms, while also working at a deeper level—helping you understand and address the root causes of anxiety when you feel ready. Whether you’re experiencing generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or panic, our Kelowna therapists are here to support you in creating lasting change, both in-person and virtually.

How to Cope with Burnout as a Parent

Parental burnout can happen when the ongoing demands of parenting, work, relationships, and daily responsibilities become emotionally and physically overwhelming. Many parents feel exhausted, disconnected, irritable, or emotionally depleted while trying to care for everyone else around them.

Signs of parental burnout may include:

  • Constant exhaustion
  • Feeling emotionally numb or overwhelmed
  • Increased irritability or anger
  • Difficulty being present
  • Anxiety or hopelessness
  • Feeling like you are “running on empty”
  • Loss of enjoyment or connection

Ways to cope with burnout as a parent include:

  • Asking for support
  • Setting realistic expectations
  • Prioritizing rest and recovery
  • Creating small moments of self-care
  • Reducing pressure and perfectionism
  • Building emotional awareness
  • Practicing nervous system regulation
  • Attending counselling or therapy

Counselling for parental burnout can help individuals process stress, improve emotional regulation, develop healthier coping strategies, and reconnect with themselves outside of constant responsibility. Therapy can also support parents navigating anxiety, relationship stress, identity changes, and the emotional demands of caregiving.

Conflict Resolution

Conflict is a natural part of relationships, but unresolved conflict can create ongoing stress and disconnection. Counselling provides a neutral and supportive environment to improve communication, understand different perspectives, and develop practical problem-solving strategies.

Conflict resolution counselling can help individuals, couples, families, and colleagues work through disagreements in a respectful and constructive way.

Couples & Relationship Counselling

Couples counselling can help strengthen communication. It is often a short-term, focused process designed to help partners rebuild connection, improve communication, and understand the patterns that keep them stuck. Couples generally focus on practical tools, insights, and strategies they can continue using long after therapy ends.

In sessions, we explore conflict cycles, emotional triggers, and what each partner needs to feel heard and supported. We draw from evidence-based approaches such as Gottman Method Couples Therapy, IFIO and family and cultural systems therapy to help couples deepen understanding and create healthier relationship habits.

At times, we may recommend that one or both partners receive individual therapy alongside or before continuing couples work—especially when personal history, trauma, or unaddressed emotional challenges are impacting the relationship.

Whether you’re navigating recurring arguments, feeling disconnected, or wanting to strengthen your relationship, couples counselling provides a supportive space to rebuild trust and move forward together.

Depression Counselling

An estimated 1 in 6 people will experience depression at some point in their lives. With depression being so common, it’s more important than ever to break the stigma and ensure those struggling receive the support they deserve. At Momentous Counselling, we provide professional, person-centred counselling for depression tailored to each individual’s unique needs.

Depression can affect anyone, including their relationships and daily functioning. We understand how difficult it can be to reach out, and we’re here to make that first step feel safe and supported. Our skilled therapists create a non-judgmental space to explore emotions, identify patterns, and work collaboratively to improve mood and emotional well-being.

If you or someone you care about is dealing with depression, you don’t have to go through it alone.

Family Therapy

Family therapy involves working with a family unit to help an individual or family resolve specific issues. Families sometimes need more support. Sometimes a sudden death, family conflict, or cultural considerations require more of a family-style approach. Family therapy can help in navigating the layers of power dynamics, negative behavioural patterns, separations, or struggles. Families can consist of siblings, cousins, ex-partners, blended families and anyone that is deemed necessary for the success of the clients.

At times, the therapist will suggest only meeting with a few family members, while other times the whole family will attend. The sessions are usually shorter and have a specific goal in mind. Connect with us to see if family therapy is the best option for you.

Financial Stress

Financial stress can significantly impact mental health, relationships, and overall wellbeing. Counselling can help you explore the emotional side of money, including anxiety, shame, decision-making stress, and relationship conflict related to finances.

Together we work on building practical coping strategies, improving communication around money, and developing healthier perspectives on financial stress.

Grief and Loss

Grief comes in many forms. Grief can result from losing a loved one, pet, suffering a serious injury, loss of career, retirement, ending a relationship, moving away, and more.
The pain and despair that comes with grief and loss can make moving forward seem impossible. It can result in anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and can be a confusing time. The idea of moving on can be a barrier.

The use of worksheets, journals, and psychoeducation can help with finding your new reality. Everyone experiences grief differently and it is our role to cater counselling to your specific needs and situation.

We understand it takes courage to reach out, and that’s a big first step. Momentous has counsellors with extensive experience helping grieving clients. Our counsellors have facilitated grief groups and have specific training in the areas of grief, loss, and bereavement.

Healthy Boundaries

Developing and maintaining healthy boundaries can feel challenging, especially when patterns have been in place for years. In counselling, we can help you build stronger boundaries with partners, family members, employers, children, neighbours, or roommates.

Clear and consistent boundaries are an important part of emotional well-being. They reduce stress, improve communication, and increase confidence in relationships. In therapy, we explore both the practical skills, like saying no, setting limits, and learning assertiveness—and the deeper roots of boundary challenges, including family history, attachment patterns, and past experiences.

Whether you want support with people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, burnout, or learning how to honour your needs, boundaries are a vital part of mental health, and you don’t have to work on them alone.

Miscarriage, Stillbirth, Infant Loss

It is estimated that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage/infant loss. Bereavement can impact us for months and years. It can cause strains on relationships, self-esteem, fears and identity. Sometimes, there are fears of recurring miscarriages and fears, even during and post successful pregnancies.

These life events can leave us feeling discouraged and in emotional pain. It can be a traumatic experience both mentally and because of medical complications. People who have experienced this type of grief are at greater risk of anxiety, guilt, anger, and depression. It can affect relationships and self-esteem. It doesn’t matter how much time has passed; some feelings may even be delayed several years. If you have experienced loss, please know we are here to talk.

Men’s Mental Health

Men are human too! Society has taught many men not to show vulnerability and to suppress emotions that show weakness, such as sadness. We believe it shows courage and strength to work on yourself. However, men’s issues are often not discussed, leaving men with nowhere to turn. We offer a non-judgemental and supportive environment to discuss various issues and topics. Whether you are experiencing loneliness, anxiety, depression, relationships/intimacy issues, low self-esteem, difficulty managing anger, procrastination, or something else we are here to help. Please let us know if you have a gender preference for your counsellor.

Nature-Based Therapy in the heart of Kelowna

Counselling in nature has many advantages. Many clients find it easier to connect with their senses, emotions, and thoughts in nature. Research shows that just being in nature helps our nervous system. Bringing motion into our sessions (through walk-and-talk therapy) can additionally help calm nerves, especially for those who are new to therapy or who have had a negative experience in the past.

We require that clients attend a consultation before engaging in Nature-Based Therapy. Talk to us to see if Nature-Based Therapy would be a good option for you.

Neurodiversity Coaching

We offer neurodiversity-affirming counselling for individuals who identify as ADHD, autistic, gifted, or otherwise neurodivergent. Rather than focusing on “fixing” differences, our approach supports understanding how your brain works and building strategies that help you thrive.

Therapy can help with executive functioning, emotional regulation, sensory overwhelm, burnout, masking, and navigating relationships, work, or school environments.

Pet-friendly counselling

At Momentous Counsellors, we understand the deep emotional connection between people and their pets. That’s why we offer pet-friendly counselling sessions and animal-assisted therapy in a calm, supportive environment. Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, or grief, the presence of a beloved animal companion can be a powerful source of comfort and emotional regulation.

Our pet-welcoming therapy space allows you to attend in-person sessions with your support animal, helping to ease anxiety and create a greater sense of safety and connection during therapy. Our clinicians are experienced in integrating pets into mental health sessions when appropriate, supporting a more relaxed and grounded experience for many clients.

We believe healing happens best when you feel fully accepted—pets included. If you’re seeking inclusive, trauma-informed therapy that welcomes you and your furry friend, reach out today to learn more about our pet-friendly counselling services.

Pregnancy, Prenatal & Postpartum Counselling

Pregnancy and early parenthood bring profound emotional, physical, and relational changes. Counselling during pregnancy and the postpartum period provides support for navigating these transitions with compassion and understanding.

We support individuals experiencing anxiety, mood changes, identity shifts, relationship changes, birth preparation, postpartum adjustment, and parenting stress.

Self-esteem/self-compassion

Self-esteem and self-compassion work helps clients build a deeper connection and relationship with themselves. Our counsellors understand the importance of self-compassion and self-love. We use a variety of strategies to help clients recognize their self-worth, strengths, abilities, and accomplishments. Often, as we begin to feel better about ourselves, other areas of our lives also start to improve. Every client is beautiful, and our goal is to help every client see that too.

Senior Counselling

Life transitions in later adulthood can bring unique emotional and practical challenges. Senior counselling offers support for navigating retirement, changing health needs, grief and loss, identity shifts, and maintaining meaningful relationships.

Our goal is to provide a respectful and supportive space where seniors can explore concerns, build coping strategies, and maintain emotional wellbeing.

Sex & Intimacy

Sex and intimacy are important parts of many relationships, yet they can be difficult topics to talk about. Counselling provides a safe and non-judgmental space to explore concerns around sexual wellbeing, desire differences, intimacy challenges, and communication.

Therapy can support individuals and couples in building healthier, more connected relationships with themselves and their partners.

Sports Psychology

Do want to reach your full potential as an athlete? We help athletes achieve optimal performance and well-being. We help bring awareness to the role that thinking plays in athletic performance and help athletes get into “the zone.” We also help athletes understand the role outside stressors and distractions play in their performance. Whether your overcoming an injury, lacking self-confidence, struggling with communication with teammates or coaches, or something else, we are here to help. We also help retired athletes experiencing a loss of identity with life transitions while they find new life purposes.

Trauma & PTSD

There are multiple types of trauma. Some are singular events (for instance, a natural disaster or a sudden loss), whereas others are a multitude of events (like childhood trauma, ongoing relational trauma, oppression, or systemic racism, among others). With any trauma, we now know that talk therapy can only get us so far. Traumatic memories are stored in a different part of our brain. With a trauma-informed lens, we will utilize tools to help heal these memories so you can continue to live your new you.

We are always open to integrating Elders and Healers.

Virtual Counselling

We offer virtual therapy and online counselling as a flexible, accessible option for those with busy schedules, frequent travel, or who live in rural or remote areas. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions, online therapy sessions provide professional support from the comfort of your own space.

While technology offers great convenience, we understand it also comes with questions about privacy and connection. That’s why we prioritize secure, confidential platforms and a supportive therapeutic approach that helps clients feel safe, seen, and heard—wherever they are.

If you’re wondering whether online counselling is right for you, we’d be happy to discuss your needs and help you explore the best approach to care.

Women’s Issues

Women often navigate complex roles and expectations throughout their lives. Counselling for women’s issues provides space to explore identity, boundaries, relationships, self-esteem, life transitions, and personal growth.

We support women facing challenges such as burnout, caregiving stress, workplace pressures, body image concerns, and navigating major life changes.

Work and Employment Issues

Challenges at work can affect many areas of life. Counselling can help you navigate workplace stress, burnout, difficult colleagues, career uncertainty, and returning to work after illness or leave. We also have therapists with experience in corporate settings, small businesses, and ownership.

Therapy can support you in building boundaries, improving communication, increasing confidence, and developing strategies to create a healthier work-life balance.
