About Incourage Counselling
You’re not broken. Acceptance and change aren’t opposites.
Incourage Counselling was founded on a simple idea: that lasting change starts with acceptance, not more effort to fix what feels broken.
Who we are
Our founder, Nelson Szeto, built this practice around two beliefs: that you don’t have to earn the right to feel okay about yourself before things can change, and that the people you love can be fully accepted even while specific behaviour still needs to change.
That belief is the heart of why this practice exists. It doesn’t mean every clinician here works identically. Each of our therapists brings their own training, clinical judgment, and therapeutic approach to the room, and we consider that range a strength, not a gap to close. What we share is the spirit behind the work: that you’re not broken, that acceptance and change aren’t opposites, and that you deserve to be met exactly as you are.

Also training the next generation

Our interns get real clinical training and mentorship; clients who might not otherwise access private-pay care get a meaningful, professionally overseen path in.
What you share stays private
Counselling only works if you can speak freely. That makes protecting your privacy part of the work itself, not an administrative footnote.
Your clinical records are kept in Jane, a Canadian practice management platform built for healthcare, with access limited to your own therapist and, where applicable, their clinical supervisor. We handle personal information in accordance with British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), and we collect only what we actually need to provide your care.
There are a small number of legal exceptions to confidentiality: a risk of serious harm to you, a risk of serious harm to someone else, abuse or neglect of a child or a vulnerable adult, and a court order or subpoena. Your therapist will walk you through each of them in your first session, before you share anything, so you always know where the edges are.
If you ever want to know what information we hold about you, how it’s stored, or who has seen it, you can ask us and we’ll tell you. Our full Privacy Policy sets out the details, and questions are always welcome.
Ready when you are.
Tell us a little about what’s going on. We’ll suggest who on our team is the best fit and book your free consultation with you.
