Pre-counselling consultation

Your success in making life changes through counselling depends upon having a trusting relationship with your counsellor. Questions about my experience, values, and qualifications are welcome. I invite you to arrange a consult to outline your expectations and to see if we can work together productively. Please call or email

Individual Counselling / Therapy 

    Men's Counselling

 I work with you to feel more understood, encouraged, hopeful, and supported with issues related to anger, depression, loneliness, fear, parenting, interpersonal issues including marriage, family, friendships, work and other stressors.

    Seniors' Counselling

I understand both personally and professionally that seniors face unique stressors related to retirement, health issues, loss of independence, loss of purpose, financial stress, family issues, grief, isolation, loneliness, fear, depression, and other stressors. Working with a counsellor who understands these concerns can help soften their impact and provide a renewed vitality and purpose in life.t
I am also involved with life story writing, memoir writing for seniors; a reflective exercise that I highly recommend to those I know personally and professionally.

   Interpersonal Counselling

I work with men to help identify the underlying issues related to your marital/relationship concerns, family concerns, parenting, and other interpersonal issues. Through counselling and education we'll work towards increased understanding and improved communication resulting in lasting positive change.
