Ida Uzelman
Counsellor/Therapist, MPCC-P, RTC
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted? You are not alone. Hi, I’m Ida. I offer trauma-informed counselling to help clients gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change. Trained in Vancouver and based in Kelowna for 30 years, I support individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, and life transitions. I foster resilience in a compassionate, confidential, and non-judgmental space. Research consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes.
It won’t always feel this painful. I would be honoured to walk alongside you on this important journey called life. A free 15-minute consultation is available if you have questions or would like to see if we are a good fit. Call now.

Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
The reason clients return time after time, and year after year, is due to the fact that I've made it a priority to build a strong connection with them. I listen, I guide them when they ask, and I'm honest with my feedback. Simply, they trust me. and nothing could be more important to me or to them. And because my work has always felt like both an honour and a gift, I value the opportunity of being brought into the emotional lives of my clients where I can offer them the kind of safe space they may not have ever experienced previously.
