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.

Sagewood Counselling & Consultancy
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." Arthur Ashe -
Although we have likely heard 'time heals all' in my personal journey as a trauma survivor and clinician, I have found that sometimes the most profound, transformative healing takes place within the safety of a supportive client-therapist relationship. Having authentic connections can impact our ability to fully engage ourselves in the work needed to create change .... and finding the right therapist can be the first step in accomplishing your counselling goals!
We all need support sometimes... I am honoured when people allow me to offer support & counselling during a season when anxiety or depression, grief or loss (including pregnancy loss), trauma or intra-personal distress becomes overwhelming, or when you simply feel it's the right time to work through some issues.
Authenticity, trust and respect are the values of my practice, and I am available to support you as you pursue the changes you want your life.
Please feel completely welcome to contact me to schedule a complimentary 15 minute telephone or video consultation so we can decide if working together is the right fit for your needs and my areas of expertise!

Kate Paul
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Hi, I’m Kate. I help individuals and couples navigate trauma, relational pain, and emotional overwhelm. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your challenges, to help you feel more grounded and empowered.
Past hurts can echo into the present: quick triggers, shutdowns, or the same fight on repeat. Trauma, whether from earlier life experiences or broken trust in relationships, can leave you feeling unsafe in your body and disconnected from the people who matter most.
My approach is compassionate, and collaborative. We will work at a pace that feels manageable, so you can restore trust in yourself and in your relationships.

The Okanagan is British Columbia's lake-and-vineyard interior region, anchored by Kelowna and including Vernon, Penticton, and a string of lakeside communities that mix agriculture, wine tourism, and tech growth in one of Canada's most popular retirement destinations. The region's mental health picture includes seasonal tourism economy stress, wildfire and smoke-season anxiety after repeated severe fire years, and the isolation some newcomers and retirees feel after relocating. Therapy access centres on Kelowna's growing practitioner community, with Interior Health providing public services and telehealth extending reach across the valley's smaller communities.
