About Nikolas

I have worked with clients experiencing a broad variety of needs and concerns, including people who were initially reluctant to seek counselling or unsure if it would be helpful. My clients appreciate my calming presence and my focus on making counselling a comfortable process. I think this begins with building the right type of therapeutic connection as a strong foundation for effective change. My clients also appreciate my background in neuroscience, which I draw upon to better understand our troubles and alter our behaviour patterns. It is my sincere belief that all problems are solvable, given the right strategies.

I offer evidence-based practices from approaches such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). I also aim to resource my clients with proven strategies for building resiliency such as mindfulness, grounding techniques, and self-reflection skills. I will work collaboratively with you to design the best way forward.

Wherever you are coming from in life, I look forward to learning more about who you are and who you are becoming. I applaud you on taking steps in the right direction and I’d love to be a part of your journey. I am passionate about your success and promise to work hard alongside you.

I operate out of an award-winning integrated health clinic located in Ladner. I also offer secure virtual (video and phone) sessions to clients across BC and beyond. I never want finances to be a barrier to accessing health care and am pleased to offer sliding scale fees in cases of demonstrable financial need.
