Deciding to go to counselling is a bold step, and picking the perfect way to meet will make the experience all the more comfortable and enjoyable for you.

Some of my clients like to do an activity while we talk, some want to do an activity as a form of therapy and let topics come up naturally. I am very flexible, and love the opportunity to meet in unique ways. Below you fill find the different ways we can connect. Keep in mind that no matter what environment we choose, confidentiality is still of utmost importance.

You pick the venue.

Small office with window, office chair, desk with a computer, black sofa with pillows, potted plant, framed wall art, and small wooden table with items.

In Office

My office space is an Abbotsford landmark: The House of James coffee shop and bookstore. This is convenient for many and offers the “no barrier” type of face-to-face conversation that some of my clients prefer or need in counselling.

A young man sitting on a beige couch in a living room, holding a smartphone and talking on a video call with a man on the screen. There are cushions, a bookshelf, a window with curtains, and a cat resting on a window bench in the background.

Virtually or by phone

Some individuals prefer to meet in the comfort of their home. Perhaps you are a busy father with young kids. Finding a quiet room is much easier than driving to my office. Also, this allows me to meet you until as late as 10:00pm on week nights.

Counselling Adventure

Prefer a classic “shoulder to shoulder” conversation instead? Let’s go for a hike at a quiet local spot in Abbotsford or go fishing. Some of my clients want to ‘do’ something while talking and I’m always up for adventure. This can be done within the 1-hour time frame and we can pick something as simple as a walk or a more focused hike. We can still accomplish a lot of therapy in this way.
