Reviews of Steadfast Counselling (Psychiatrist)

Farhana K. James

My partner and I have been seeing Laura for couples counselling for about three years now. We go whenever we feel like there is a breakdown or misunderstanding in our communication. Laura has been an absolutely wonderful neutral third party in our relationship. We always divert to her whenever we feel we can't overcome obstacles on our own and she always seems to have sage advice and/or a fresh perspective on our problems. My partner and I really value counselling and we really value our long-term relationship with Laura. Thank you so much Laura!

Kayla at Steadfast Counselling has gently guided me through the most transformative year of my life. I feel more grounded and deeply connected to myself than ever before, and owe much of that to the work I've done in my sessions with her. Kayla have given me the space to explore, reconcile, and love parts of me that I thought were completely unloveable; in doing so, she has become a cherished light in my life.

Laura with Steadfast has helped me tremendously. Her kindness and experience have guided me through a lot. I fully recommend her and her team. Booking/administrative stuff is a swift and easy process - I've never had an issue. I always feel taken care of and put first.

I was a shell of a human with no regard for my own well being, and feeling undeserving of good, when I first decided to seek counselling. I was skeptical, thinking my whole life, that I'm not in need of something like counselling. From our very first interaction, the 15 minute consultation, Kayla met me with nothing but compassion, consideration, listening and understanding, and has continued consistently ever since. This is something I don’t think I have fully experienced with anyone before, and I can’t express my gratitude for her. I value our time together and am so appreciative of Kayla and the space we share and the guidance she provides me. I feel safe and protected when interacting with Kayla, and I couldn't ask for more, I have unending gratitude for Kayla and Steadfast and the space they create for healing and understanding.

My partner and I have been working with Kayla for quite some time now. Not only has she been instrumental with the growth of our relationship, she has also played a huge role on our growth as individuals. She has a way of helping us dig a little deeper and uncover what it is that we are feeling exactly in that moment. She has a gentle way of helping us tap into our past and helping us heal any leftover pain. I am so grateful for walking through her door that very first day. I am also extremely grateful that we have been able to continue our sessions remotely due to Covid-19. Thank you for everything, Kayla, you are an absolute gem!

We found Ross Dixon at steadfast after doing several interviews with counsellors in Vancouver to see who would be a right fit for our relationship. Ross Dixon is attuned, dialed in, caring, understanding, empathetic, and gently challenges our schemas when necessary to do so. We absolutely love how he holds space for us in the room.

I have worked with Jennifer Harding and she is an incredible counsellor. Intelligent, attentive, and a highly skilled counsellor

I began seeing Laura during a challenging time in my life, and the guidance and support she’s given me has been phenomenal. Not only has she provided me tremendous encouragement and assistance in working through some issues, she’s also provided valuable pre-marital and couple’s counselling to myself and my husband. I feel far more equipped to navigate issues that come my way, knowing I have a therapist like Laura to work through them with.

Kayla is amazing and really helped me through a difficult time of my life. It definitely changed my perspective of counselling and life in general and I would recommend her to anyone.

The therapist (Laura) fell asleep on our session.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Kayla is. I have always been averse to the idea of counselling. The stigmas have always been what kept me away. Will people think I’m weak? Or crazy? Or a failure? I went through so many serious life changes that I didn’t know how to cope. I felt broken. Then I thought, if my car is broken I take it to a mechanic, so if “I’m broken” I need to take myself to someone who can help “fix” me. Enter Kayla! Kayla sometimes just listens and doesn’t say much. I never realized how powerful having someone just listen and be there with you in that moment can be. No judgements or fixes just listening. With a gentle nudge she makes me ask myself the tough questions. Questions I don’t think to ask or more truthfully want to ask. There is never judgement! She has helped me learn so much about myself which in turn has helped me with relationships and simply life. Through the pandemic I have had the option to meet via Zoom so I have been able to continue sessions. I have made so many positive changes in the way I think and see situations. The stigmas don’t bother me anymore because I know Kayla has brought about so many positive changes in the way I think and act. Kayla is an amazing therapist and person and anyone would be lucky to work her!

I've been seeing Anna Guest and it honestly has been such a pleasure! She has been incredibly kind, accommodating, and super easy to open up to. I highly recommend her!

Steadfast enabled me to unlock my proverbial basement and tap into parts of my past that lay dormant for decades. Through a caring delivery and respectful process, we worked through the layers of several life challenges I faced. I owe a lot of my self awareness and personal growth to the tools I was given and insights taught to me by their team.
