What we help with

Counselling for the things that make daily life hard

We work with adults, couples, families, children and youth. If what you need sits outside our scope, we will say so and help you find the right place.

Individual counselling

Anxiety and worry, depression and low mood, anger, stress and burnout, grief, and life transitions.

Couples and marriage

For partners who want to communicate differently, rebuild trust, or decide what comes next — together.

Family and parenting

Conflict at home, behaviour that has become hard to manage, parenting through separation, and a child who is struggling.

Children and youth

Work with children and teenagers, with a parent or guardian involved in the plan and consent explained in plain language.

Life coaching and mentorship

Goal-focused, forward-looking sessions for people who want structure, accountability and someone to think with.

Schools and organizations

In-school counselling, group counselling, and a universal mental health and mentorship program delivered on site.

How it works

Three steps to a first session

  1. A free consultation

    A short call to hear what you are looking for and answer your questions. No charge, no obligation.

  2. Matched with a clinician

    We match you to a clinician whose area of practice fits what you need, and find a time that works.

  3. Your first session

    In person at our Calgary office or online by secure video. You set the pace.

About

Mohamed El-Rafih, Registered Psychologist

Be Happy Counselling is a Calgary psychology practice. Its founder and lead clinician is Mohamed El-Rafih, a Registered Psychologist regulated by the College of Alberta Psychologists, R. Psych. #6709. Since 2021 the practice has worked with youth, newcomers and families in Calgary, with a particular focus on culturally sensitive counselling.

Counselling works when it is a good fit, which is why the first conversation is free and nobody is asked to commit to a course of sessions in advance. You are the authority on your own life; the clinician brings method, structure and training.

Not the right fit? We tell you when we are not the right service, and point you somewhere useful. That is part of the job.
