In-person in Fernie.
Virtual everywhere in BC & Alberta.
Why Counselling Works Well for Men
Most men don’t struggle because they’re weak.
They struggle because they carry too much alone.
Work stress. Relationship demands. Expectations to be strong, steady, in control.
Pressure to perform. Pressure to provide. Pressure to not fall apart.
Counselling gives men:
A private space to unload stress
A place to think clearly
A break from always needing to be “the strong one”
A chance to feel supported
No judgment.
No cliché self-help talk.
Just practical, strengths-based support – online anywhere in BC & Alberta.
And in-person in Fernie.
If You're Not Sure Counselling Will Help
It’s common to reach a point where you know something feels off, but you’re not sure whether counselling is the right move.
Many men tell me they didn’t want to “make a big deal out of it,” or they assumed things would settle down if they just pushed through.
Others weren’t sure what they would even talk about, or worried it wouldn’t be practical or relevant to their real day-to-day pressures.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start.
Counselling isn’t about digging for problems or labelling you with something. It’s simply a private space where you can think out loud, sort through what’s been building up, and get perspective without having to filter your words or keep everything contained.
Most people feel a sense of relief within the first conversation—not because everything is suddenly perfect, but because they finally have a place to set things down and look at them clearly.
Even if you’re not sure what you need yet, it’s okay to show up with exactly where you are. We’ll take it one step at a time, at a pace that feels steady and grounded.
Many men describe a similar experience before reaching out — not a dramatic crisis, but a slow buildup of stress, pressure, frustration, or emotional weight that becomes harder to carry alone.
Sometimes it shows up at work, sometimes at home, sometimes in quiet moments when things finally slow down. You don’t need something “serious” or “urgent” to start counselling. You just need a place where the load can come off for a while.
Why Men Choose Counselling With Me
I specialize in working with high-performing, driven men — professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders, tradesmen, and men who carry heavy roles.
My approach is built on three pillars men consistently say they appreciate:
1. Straightforward, practical conversations
Men don’t want therapy that is vague or passive.
They want clarity, direction, and meaningful change.
2. No-pressure atmosphere
You lead the pace.
You decide what we talk about.
I support, guide, and help you make sense of things.
No overwhelm.
We work together to evaluate, generate ideas, and create an action plan.
3. A coaching-infused style
Yes, there’s emotional work.
But we also talk about goals, decisions, boundaries, leadership, and the kind of man you’re becoming.
It’s counselling with a coaching vibe – confidential, strategic, and grounded.
4. Real-world working experience
I also have years of experience working in corporate, industrial, and high-responsibility environments – so you won’t need to explain the realities of leadership pressure, performance expectations, or work culture.
What Brings Men to Counselling
Most of the men I work with aren’t looking for dramatic emotional breakthroughs. They want a clearer mind, steadier reactions, healthier relationships, and a way to deal with the pressure they carry every day. Some want to feel more confident in who they are. Some want fewer arguments at home. Some want to stop overthinking. Others want to rebuild after a tough season — a breakup, burnout, conflict, or a major change.
At the core, the men I work with want the same thing:
to feel more like themselves again – grounded, capable, calm, and in control inside, not just on the outside.
Online Counselling for Men — BC & Alberta
We have lots of flexibility and possibility when meeting online. You can meet from your office, your truck on a lunch break, a quiet place at home, or anywhere you feel comfortable.
This makes counselling more private, flexible, and accessible - especially for men working in high demand careers, mining, oil and gas, tech, remotely, travelling or in business or leadership roles.
Online counselling is fully confidential and meets ethical and professional requirements in both provinces.
What to Expect in Your First Session
You don’t need to prepare anything.
We’ll talk about:
What’s on your mind lately
What feels heavy
What you want less of
What you want more of
How you want to feel
My job is to make the conversation feel natural and grounded – not clinical or awkward.
Most men say they feel lighter after the first session because they finally have space to talk honestly without filtering.
