Kelowna Counselling for Trauma, Relationships, and Empowerment
Helping you reconnect to yourself — and the life you want to live.

Our vision is to bring compassion, respect, acceptance, insight, healing, freedom and connection to humanity in all of our interactions. We genuinely believe every moment is an opportunity to develop an authentic relationship with yourself.

Welcome from Kimberly Castle
“Everyone needs a place where they feel safe, seen, and heard. That’s what we offer here.”
At Empowered Solutions Counselling we recognize that the primary source of suffering is our disconnection from the deepest parts of ourselves, often caused by childhood and intergenerational trauma. With the right attention, this connection can be restored.

What Clients Are Saying
“Kimberly really made me feel at ease right from the beginning. I was worried it was going to be complicated getting into my personal issues, but she made it simple for me to speak my mind and gave me really good cues to move forward!”
“Kim has made me feel very comfortable in the short time knowing and talking with her, she will give well needed advice in situations i bring to the table with her. She has helped me talk easily with someone who is not emotionally evolved in my life!”

Kelowna Counselling For Men
Because men are often reluctant to acknowledge emotional problems, mental health disorders in men go undiagnosed. The pressures to fit the mold might be wearing you down.
Counselling can help.

What’s Your Communication Style - Take The Quiz
Understanding your communication style is a powerful tool. Whether you lean more passive, aggressive, or assertive — awareness gives you the opportunity to grow and connect more effectively with others.
Self-esteem is an individual's overall evaluation of themselves, encompassing their sense of self-worth. When one's self-esteem is high, individuals feel confident in their abilities and maintain a positive self-image. Holding yourself highly is generally seen as a good thing, as it improves confidence and limits negative thoughts. Negative self-esteem can be very problematic as it can lead to anxiety, depression, and stress, all of which can have a large impact on your life.
