About Rhodes Wellness College

We aim to support both our local community (Vancouver, BC) and Canada by offering free and low-cost counselling and coaching. Our students training is experiential and they are informed in a Holistic, Person-Centered approach (among many others) with an emphasis on assisting clients in uncovering answers through awareness of patterns, values and beliefs. We believe that fit is important and we will work with you to find a coach or counsellor that you feel comfortable with. All of the modalities and approaches taught to Rhodes Wellness College Students are backed by scientific evidence.

We are here to help.

Modalities we use

  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

    Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is a short term, goal-oriented therapy. Using the cognitive model, a client and counsellor will explore the connection between thoughts, emotions, and resulting behaviours. The focus will be on examining, evaluating, and responding to the automatic thoughts after an event. Those automatic thoughts are referred to as cognitive distortions and often come from deep rooted limiting beliefs. Both our counsellors and coaches are trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

     Dialectical Behavioural Therapy is a cognitive-behavioral approach that really focuses on your emotional feelings and social interactions with other people. It is effective for people who are prone to intense emotions that aren't really serving them well in romantic, family, and friend relationships.

  • Narrative Therapy

    Narrative Therapy is a short term, solution focused therapy which focuses on separating people from problems and creating the space to work on them. This allows for re-authoring of unhelpful stories, moving toward different end results.

  • Somatic Therapy

    Somatic Therapy is a body-based approach to addressing Mental, Emotional, Physical and Spiritual wellbeing. Making it a holistic therapy that helps clients discover how their beliefs, emotions, and physical sensations are interconnected. Rather than being kept in painful patterns.
