Counselling in Delta and Surrey, BC
Change of Thought Counselling | Jackie Bendell, MA, RCC
Finding the right counsellor can be an important first step toward making sense of what you're experiencing and finding a way forward. I offer individual counselling for adults and youth in Delta and Surrey, BC, in a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, or other personal concerns, counselling can provide a space to explore your experiences, develop a better understanding of yourself, and work toward meaningful change.
I believe that counselling should be a collaborative process where you feel heard, respected, and involved in the direction of your work.
Adult Counselling
Life can bring challenges that leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Adult counselling offers an opportunity to explore what you're experiencing, gain perspective, and work toward meaningful change.
I work with adults navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, parenting, grief, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs.
Youth Counselling
The teenage years can bring a range of changes and challenges. Young people may be navigating anxiety, low mood, friendships, family relationships, school pressures, identity, or other experiences that can feel difficult to manage.
Youth counselling offers teens a supportive, non-judgmental space to talk about what's going on, feel heard, and develop a better understanding of themselves. I work collaboratively with young people, while recognizing the important role parents and caregivers can play in supporting their wellbeing.
Single Mom by Choice Counselling
Choosing to become a parent on your own can bring a unique combination of hopes, questions, decisions, and experiences. Whether you're considering single motherhood by choice or already navigating life as a solo parent, counselling can offer a supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
As a counsellor and a single mom by choice myself, I bring both professional experience and personal understanding to this area of my work.
A Warm and Collaborative Approach
I believe counselling works best when you feel comfortable being yourself, heard, and involved in the process. My approach is warm, empathic, and collaborative, with attention to your individual experiences, needs, and circumstances.
Whether we're exploring difficult emotions, working through a current challenge, or finding practical ways forward, my goal is to create a space where you feel supported and understood.
Getting Started
Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, especially when you're not quite sure where to begin. You don't need to have everything figured out before getting in touch. We can start with what's bringing you to counselling and explore together what might be helpful.
If you're considering counselling for yourself or your teen, I welcome you to reach out with any questions or to discuss getting started. If you're interested in connection, you can call (604) 600-6167, email Jackie.bendell@changeofthought.ca, or fill our the Inquiries form below.
