Warren Shepell

Warren Shepell brings heart, sensitivity and appreciation for the uniqueness found among people in their journey in life. "Each of us has a heart, a soul, and feelings. Each of us desires to be wanted, to be appreciated, and each of us enjoys work when it is satisfying and rewarding and the workplace is respecting and safe."

I am considered to be a pioneer and father of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) in Canada. I made mental health counselling accessible and at no cost to thousands of Canadians through their workplaces and created career opportunities for thousands of counselors.


At an organizational level, I have brought wisdom and years of experience to many areas in mental health, well-being, communications, sales, marketing, PR, and many diverse areas of HR including leadership, management, management assessment and development, training, selection, interviewing, psychometrics, and harassment & bullying prevention.


At a personal level, I have directly counselled over 2600 persons, and through my EAP firm, my counselors helped approximately five million persons with their personal and emotional issues surrounding themselves, family and work issues.


In addition to creating and building my EAP firm, Warren Shepell Consultants, over 25 years, I worked in organizational psychology and consulting with a host of organizations including Avail (well-being); Peninsula Canada (HR and health & safety workshops); BizLife (harassment prevention); Beach Shepell (management assessments, attitude surveys); HRPA (training); Ennis Shepell (attitude surveys, career counselling); Stevenson & Kellogg (relocation consulting, psychological assessments); University of Toronto (lecturer); and CIBC (management assessments & development; training).


Currently, I consult and provide input to improving and successfully communicating mental health and well-being in work environments, including promoting a monthly wellness newsletter with current wellness topics, executive coaching, bullying and harassment prevention, and developing safe workplaces. Further, I have written articles for key HR and business magazines and present at Conferences.


I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a PhD in Counseling and Clinical Psychology; a Master’s degree in Industrial Psychology from the University of Waterloo; and a BA majoring in Psychology from the University of Manitoba.
