Alive Counselling is an established, reputable, award-winning team of therapists dedicated to providing exceptional mental health care across Kelowna and throughout British Columbia.
We believe we are created for connection, and we value being deeply involved in our beautiful community. Our services include In-Person Counselling, Walk & Talk Therapy, and Online Counselling. Centrally located in the heart of Kelowna, our modern, newly renovated 5-office clinic is a soft place to land, offering a serene and welcoming space for both clients and our valued team (plus large free parking!)
We work across a wide range of mental health areas, including kids and play therapy, anxiety, stress and burnout, depression, body image, athletes and performance, perinatal/postpartum and parenting, couples and relationships, women’s issues, men’s issues, boundaries, growth and coaching, identity and self-confidence, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, ADHD/ADD and autism support, student life, and faith-based/Christian counselling, fostering overall mental wellness and more.
We support clients at every stage of life, from children, youth, and teens to young adults, adults, couples, families, and groups, and we regularly facilitate psychoeducation talks and workshops both in our clinic and in the community.
As clinical supervisor and clinic owner, Barb Egan and the mosaic team of therapists believe that finding the right fit for the client is the most important part of counselling. That’s why our team practices from a variety of modalities, including Person-Centered, EFT, CBT, Attachment, IFS, Somatic, EMDR, Play Therapy, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and Gottman, among others, always collaborating and tailoring therapy to each client to ensure the right fit.
As a former athlete and coach in the professional athletic world, Barb and the team are committed to leadership and to fostering a connected, supported team environment at Alive Counselling and within the community.
Applying clinicians don’t need to work in all of these areas or with every population, and that’s okay. That’s exactly why it’s such a gift to be part of a diverse team: together, we can provide the best possible care for our clients.
Join our collaborative, unique, and reputable team at Alive Counselling, recognized again as a top performer in the Best of Kelowna 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 awards, securing top positions in the Clinical Counsellors, Therapist, and Psychology Clinic categories for several consecutive years. Barb was also a top finalist for Citizen of the Year 2026 and Top 40 Under 40.
We aim to build a diverse team of clinicians and specialties, so clients can always find the right fit for their unique situation, goals, and schedule.
We offer monthly team meetings and small-group supervision, biweekly peer-group supervision, and regular opportunities to connect outside the office and have fun together.
We value a team approach to counselling and creating a team-like environment for our clinicians. We’re looking for clinicians who are self-directed, take initiative, and work well independently, while still genuinely wanting to be part of a connected team. If that’s you, we’d love to hear from you.
As part of Alive Counselling, you’ll thrive in an environment that offers a collaborative team to learn from and grow with, continuous learning and training opportunities, a culture of support, and an administrative assistant to handle invoicing, billing, and admin tasks so you can focus on serving clients. You’ll also have monthly team meetings and small-group supervision, biweekly peer supervision, community involvement, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Culture at Alive Counselling:
As a former athlete and coach, team culture is foundational to how I lead. That’s why I wanted to share not just our clinical approach, but our cultural one. We believe collaboration, continuous learning, and genuine support are essential to both personal and professional growth. Being part of a collaborative team lets therapists share insights, learn from one another, and develop new approaches to therapy, which ultimately benefits both our team and the clients we serve.
Ongoing support, including administrative help with invoicing and billing, allows our therapists to spend more of their time and energy where it matters most: with their clients. We’ve built systems to streamline these processes so you don’t have to.
Monthly team meetings are a chance to come together, discuss cases and learnings, share challenges and celebrations, and reinforce our sense of community. They also serve as a space for continuing education, where our team can explore new therapeutic techniques and emerging research.
Our commitment to a supportive, growth-oriented environment reflects a genuine dedication to both our team and the clients we serve. We connect outside the office too: local markets, BBQs and bonfires, bowling and dinner, walks, coffee, and plenty of real connection (and fun!). Making a meaningful impact in the lives of others is what drives us, and we’re honoured by the reputation and partnerships we’ve built across our Kelowna community.
