About Brian
If you hope to overcome a dreadful anxiety, come out of a hopeless depression, build inner self-confidence, learn how to stand up for yourself, or just try to get a grip on life today; together we can achieve it. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Masters in Counselling, 8 years experience, and a genuine compassion for people, I sincerely create an encouraging and safe space where we will find what your next step looks like and provide you with the correct tools and techniques to ultimately attain what brought you to seek counselling.
I specialize in anxiety and trauma, and have experienced a lot of success through EMDR therapy. I also use therapies and techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Exposure Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, boundary and assertive training, coping strategies, and self-confidence building.
Having battled my own trauma throughout my life, I have dedicated myself to helping others experience the same freedom I have found. My philosophy is to aide my client’s discover who they truly are, and how to live out that person to the fullest each day.
