Book an Appointment at Greenwich, NS with Derrick

Welcome to Five Star Wellbeing, we look forward to working with you!

**NOTICE: Beginning December 1, 2025, session rates at Five Star Wellbeing Counselling and Mental Health will increase from $150 to $175 per 60-minute session. This adjustment is in line with standard rates (between $160.00-200.00) for Counselling Therapy in Nova Scotia and reflects the rising costs of maintaining professional counselling services, clinical supervision, and administrative operations to ensuring continued quality of care.

We remain committed to providing ethical, compassionate, and accessible support to individuals, couples, and families. If you have questions or concerns about this change, please don’t hesitate to reach out before your next appointment.

Thank you for your understanding and continued trust.

Add your name to our waitlist (https://fivestarwellbeing.janeapp.com/wait_list/new?discipline_id=1) to be notified immediately of last-minute cancellations. Please schedule additional session(s) at weekly or bi-weekly intervals to ensure continuity of care.

We can bill most insurance companies directly. NEW CLIENTS, please add a photo or screenshot of your insurance information on your intake form, and we will direct bill your insurance company whenever possible.

Derrick McEachern B.Ed., M.Ed., RCT, CCC

I am a Registered Counselling Therapist (RCT) in Nova Scotia, and a Canadian Certified Counsellor.

In my practice, I specialize in providing therapeutic counselling in the areas of anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and couple and family therapy. Whether working with you as an individual, or as part of a couple or family, I incorporate experiential therapies that include mindfulness practices, self-compassion and Emotionally Focused Therapy. With couple and families, I’ll work with you to rebuild the emotional connection between you and your loved ones, while also addressing unmet attachment needs.

I also provide clinical counselling supervision to counsellors in training, and am an Approved Candidacy Supervisor for the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists.

I started Five Star Wellbeing Counselling and Mental Health in 2014. I provide counselling our new office on our property in Greenwich, NS, as well as for clients online. I also offer workshops and online webinars that support employee mental health.

Prior to starting Five Star Wellbeing, I from taught from 1999-2005 at the Hong Kong International School and the Delia School of Canada in Hong Kong. After earning my M.Ed., in Counselling in 2006, I provided counselling for two years with Annapolis Valley Regional School Board, one year with Acadia University and 13 years with the Nova Scotia Community College.
