I am now offering online counselling to men in Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon, Northwest Territory, and Nunavut, as well as BC.
One of the great things about online counselling is that we don’t have to be in the same location to meet. However, different provinces and territories have different regulations around the practice of counselling and until recently I’ve stuck for the most part to my home province of British Columbia. But now, with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (the regulating body I’m a member of) providing clear guidelines on working with people outside of BC, I have extended my geographical reach.
Until now I’ve worked with men from all over BC, including Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, Vernon, Kamloops, Williams Lake, Haida Gwai, and beyond. I’m looking forward to welcoming more clients from Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon and more!
The men I work with often reach out when they are experiencing anxiety, depression, anger or addiction. You may be unhappy in your work or your relationships, and likely struggle with a harsh internal critic. Perhaps you’ve realized that events in the past continue to impact you and are preventing you from living the way you want to.
Perhaps you have suffered childhood trauma, including physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. Even “mild” dysfunction in families can deeply affect a child’s sense of worth into adulthood. Some of the men I work with have also had traumatizing experiences as teens and younger adults, involving family break-up, discrimination, bullying, the loss of loved ones, or their own physical and mental health. If any of this sounds like you, counselling can help.
Check out this post to find out more advantages of online counselling. My experience working online with hundreds of men over the last few years has convinced me of what a whole lot of research confirms, that this mode of counselling is extremely effective as well as being practical and convenient.
