About Ben
I am a Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University under clinical supervision. With more than 20 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and parents in community and child welfare settings, I have developed a deep appreciation for the resilience people demonstrate in the face of life’s challenges. My approach is integrative and person-centred, drawing from evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Motivational Interviewing to meet each client’s unique needs.
Acknowledging the need for support can feel overwhelming. It’s often easier to keep pushing forward than to pause and admit that something needs to change. My goal is to offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you feel safe to be yourself, explore what you’re facing, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.
As a man, and through both my personal and professional experiences, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the unique mental health challenges men often face. I understand the stigma, and the quiet shame, that can accompany asking for help. Many men learn to carry their struggles silently, so choosing to reach out is an act of courage and strength.
I welcome conversations about anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief, addiction, life transitions, self-esteem, relationships, parenting, boundaries, spirituality, and self-care. If faith is an important part of your life, I also welcome incorporating it into our work together. While I enjoy working with adolescents and adults from all walks of life, I have a particular interest in supporting men and young people as they navigate identity, emotional wellbeing, and personal growth.
I believe each person is the expert in their own life. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to walk alongside you as you gain insight, discover your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Pick a service, then a length and setting — times on the right follow your choice.
