Kelowna Counsellor and IFS Therapist for Individuals and Couples
Get to know all of you.
Work with Kinga Robinson, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and one of the few therapists in Kelowna with Level 3 IFS training.
When your life, relationships, or your own mind, feel stuck
The quality of your relationships, with yourself and with the people closest to you, shapes how life feels. Sometimes those relationships turn strained or painful. Sometimes it is quieter: a loop you cannot step out of, a reaction bigger than the moment called for.
My Kelowna counselling practice is a place to slow down and understand what is underneath.
A steadier relationship with yourself, through Internal Family Systems
We are all made up of parts. Some protect us, some carry old hurt, some try to run the whole show. IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a proven way of turning toward those parts with curiosity instead of fighting them, so the ones that have been working too hard can ease off. What grows from that is a calmer, steadier relationship with yourself, and that changes how you interact with everyone and everything else.
I am one of only a handful of therapists in the Okanagan who is certified and has Level 3 training, the model's most advanced level of training in IFS.
Couples counselling in Kelowna, with Intimacy from the Inside Out
For two people who keep landing in the same argument and cannot find the way out.
IFIO (Intimacy from the Inside Out) is the couples form of IFS. Instead of refereeing the fight, we slow it down so each of you can see what is really getting touched underneath, and learn to speak for those tender parts rather than from them. That is what loosens the cycle and lets you hear each other again.

Who I work with
I work with adults and couples across the Okanagan: individuals wanting to understand themselves more clearly, couples caught in the same cycle, and parents wanting to build connection to their children. People come to me while navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, life transitions, addiction and recovery, infidelity and other relational trauma.
What working together looks like
It starts with a free 15 minute consultation, a low pressure conversation to feel out whether we are a good fit. If it feels right, we book a first session. Early on, sessions are usually weekly, then move to every couple of weeks, then to occasional check ins, at whatever pace suits your needs, life, and your budget. You are the one who decides how often we meet.
Sessions, location, and coverage
Sessions: Individual sessions are typically 55 minutes and $170 for individual counselling, $185 for couples and family sessions. Your first step is a free 15-minute consultation, so you can get a feel for how I work before committing to anything.
Where: I see clients in person at 214 - 3001 Tutt Street in Kelowna, and online by secure video anywhere in British Columbia. Parking is behind the building; take the elevator to the second floor.
Coverage: Counselling isn't covered by MSP, but many extended health plans cover sessions with a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I'm registered with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (RCC #14858) and I'm a provider with Pacific Blue Cross and Sun Life. I can direct bill both, so you only pay what your plan doesn't cover. Check your plan for the RCC amount it allows per year.
