About Alan

Alan grew up in Vancouver, and has lived in the Greater Victoria area for over 20 years. He has raised his two great kids into adulthood in the South Island, and considers it a pleasure to work with youth/teens and assisting them in the various life challenges they may face, as well as adults and couples, and those suffering from the impact of unhealthy habits or addiction concerns, trauma, communication issues, conflict resolution, and breakdowns in relationships.

Alan holds a Masters Degree in Mental Health Counselling, as well as a Bachelor of Human Kinetics, combined with a multitude of specializations and additional training and education in his decades of experience in the mental wellness space. His 35 years of endurance racing has led to work with high-performance athletes at national and international stages, and he has provided a wide range of clinical services to Indigenous communities, employee assistance programs, substance abuse programs and health authorities, and government. He holds firm to the belief that, though life may be difficult, when support exists such as counselling, those difficulties can be diminished. Alan is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors.
