Incourage Counselling has been supporting Burnaby residents for over a decade, known for practical, evidence-informed therapy that helps people move forward. If you want therapy that’s straightforward and warm, this is the place I recommend. They specialise in individual and couples counselling, trauma recovery, and anxiety management, and are recognised locally for their accessible approach to working through life transitions.

Their team offers a clear range of services: 50-minute individual sessions, 75-minute couples sessions, and tailored group workshops on anxiety and parenting. Therapists at Incourage use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, and Trauma-Focused CBT when appropriate. They also support grief counselling and perinatal mental health. Sessions take place in comfortable offices near Metrotown, with private waiting space and quiet street parking, making visits easy for people juggling work and family.

What sets Incourage apart is how they work. Therapists focus on practical tools you can use between sessions, such as structured thought records, behavioural experiments, and couple communication scripts. They share concrete homework, track progress with simple outcome measures, and review goals every four to six sessions so you always know where you’re headed. The team includes registered clinical counsellors and a clinical supervisor, each with a minimum of five years’ post-licensing experience, plus ongoing training in trauma-informed care.

People choose Incourage because it feels like getting help from a neighbour who knows how to get results. They accept direct private pay, several extended health plans, and offer a limited sliding scale for those in financial need. Community-minded events include quarterly mental health workshops held at a nearby community centre.
