Ingrid Wells

Ingrid Wells is an AASW-credentialed counsellor and trauma therapist with three decades of clinical work with individuals, couples, children and families. Her practice centers on a trauma-informed stance and a respectful belief that people already hold valuable knowledge about their own lives. She integrates an understanding of attachment, family dynamics and the effects of abuse and loss into sessions.

She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns and the impacts of trauma, including domestic violence and sexual assault. Her work draws on Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems and strengths-based counselling to help people explore patterns, access inner resources and build more constructive connections. Ingrid aims to foster an environment where clients can be heard, make choices at a comfortable pace and pursue meaningful change. Practical issues such as fatherhood, caregiving during cancer, codependency and communication problems are also addressed alongside grief, guilt and shame.
