★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I found Bergen Gell's counselling approach unprofessional, combative and utterly ineffective. I booked three appointments with Bergen prior to separating from my ex-husband a few years ago. During these sessions Bergen seemed much more intent on becoming my friend than on providing the conflict resolution tools I was seeking from her. My ex-husband and I later learned that our privacy during these sessions had been breached with church members on multiple occasions and, as health professionals ourselves, attempted to make a formal complaint. We were disappointed to learn this would not be possible as Bergen Gell was no longer a member of her professional body. When we raised these concerns with her in person, my ex and I were threatened in an email with defamation. Aside from these frustrations, my deepest regret in engaging Bergen Gell as a counsellor was her general lack of regard to the severity of our circumstances at the time, and how seriously she failed to take our marriage crisis (it later resulted in our divorce). Our third (and final) session together was distressing to say the least, as Bergen addressed us with, "I have done my homework on you guys and asked around about you two. I am aware this is not the first time you have separated and I think you're enjoying the drama. Quite frankly I think the two of you are as pathetic as each other..." When my husband and I challenged Bergen on this she raised her voice at us and yelled, "You will not dictate how these sessions will go! I call it as I see it! I sent you an encouraging text message yesterday and I don't know what more you expect! I am direct and if you don't like my approach you can leave!" I was later informed by Bergen that details of this session had also been shared with two more church members. I found Bergen Gell to be a dangeous counsellor who left both my ex-husband and I more distressed than when we started. I would absolutely not recommend her services to any couple seeking relationship counselling.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There truly aren’t words to describe the positive impact Bergen has had on my life.
During such a difficult time, she provided me with the strategies and tools I needed to change the direction in which my life was heading.
She is extremely professional, clear of judgement and connection is the heart centre of her work. I found Bergen extremely approachable, caring, patient, and supportive which allowed me to be open and honest with her. I knew every time I set foot in her door, I would be greeted with kindness and an abundance of love and understanding.
I’m very thankful to have found someone who cares deeply, and was willing to face the storm with me.
Thank you Bergen, for reminding me that we don’t need to go through the difficult times in life alone. You are so appreciated and I'm very glad there are people like you in this industry. You are truly made for it! Highly recommend :)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I totally disagree with dessert stomach 's review! I was receiving counseling from Bergen for 2 years and to be honest I dont think I'd be here today without her support, encouragement and guidance! I would fully reccomend her to all who are struggling, she is authentic, kind, patient and speaks the truth with such gentleness and love. I always found her very professional and always felt very safe through our counseling sessions. It makes me sad that dessert stomach has posted such a negative comment in regards to Bergen's counseling. I encourage people to not judge based on the one bad review.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The time I spent with Bergen Gell for counselling sessions where extremely productive, her style was a common sense approach, showing empathy, kindness compassion with a sense of humor when appropriate. Bergen walked along side me and helped me with feeling comfortable in my own skin. Counselling for me was challenging, I was reluctant to open up however due to Bergen's patience and insight she managed to get me to finally open up and become aware of who I am. I have learnt that if you want things to change first you must change, if you lack self awareness and look to blame others for your circumstances then you are wasting your time and anyone who wishes to help you. It is without hesitation that I recommend Bergen to counsel you. :):):)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I cannot recommend Bergen enough, She is professional and highly empathetic. She listened with kindness. I felt "heard" and respected by her. Bergen is highly skilled in her counselling practice and I felt safe with her.
She guided me through my process that I had been stuck in for a number of years. I will always be so grateful for her work. Totally recommend Bergen to anyone..

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have been working with Bergen for a few years. She has professionally helped me deal with specific problems that I have had.She was extremely helpful in helping me find solutions to various problems I have faced. Through the excellent help it is now possible for me to have a different and healthier approach to various situations. I would strongly recommend anyone truly wanting help to schedule in a session with Bergen. Bergen listens carefully, she is able to understand and provide insight . She was instrumental in helping me on my journey that is of life.
