Attachment-based Therapists in Duncan, BC

Humans tend to function from certain perceptions of the world based on blueprints we've been conditioned by. There is no right or wrong in the life we chose for ourselves, but inherited belief systems and strategies may've kept us feeling connected-enough at earlier times in our lives. I work with people who want to shake out the shame so that they can find more freedom in all aspects of life. I feel fortunate to be working with people in a meaningful way and love to open myself to the hope & resilience of the human spirit. Inner work can help us feel more clear in purpose and even more empowered in sex, love and relationships.

MxN Men's Therapy Network offers a range of counsellors, from fully certified practitioners to practicum students completing their Masters or Diploma programs. This allows us to provide counselling starting at $30/session. Our clients are from many different backgrounds, and often come in with confusion and shame about needing help. It's ok to feel this way. We don't expect you to understand the process and will work with you so it becomes clear. ​ Being a man comes in many different forms and our therapists bring their experience so they are able to work in a way that meets your needs. We look forward to hearing from you.

If you are reading this, you may be looking for change. To heal, to find new passions, to unlock blocked potential. I am here to help you along this journey to self-improvement. Life doesn't always go according to plan and sometimes we need support in getting through the ups and downs. Together we can explore ways to tap into your best self, let go of behaviours that are holding you back, and tap into emotions that can reveal who you truly are and what you need in order to thrive. It is never too late. We will work as a team to build emotional awareness and develop new brain pathways that will lead to a brighter future.

I have always been interested in the tidal-like ebb and flow of the human experience. Over the years, I have come to believe that our capacity for understanding, healing and growth often lies in how our journey is shared. Through learned experience in an array of lived and therapeutic settings, I have repeatedly observed how meaningful connection and in-depth exploration can enrich our sense of perspective and positively influence our level of self-awareness. My intention is to champion the possibility for change through practices of unwavering self-acceptance and genuine self-compassion.

At the deepest level, you want to be seen, understood and accepted. And then you want partnership and support as you work on changing your life. Are you sad too much? Struggling? Fearful? Do you give yourself a hard time? Perhaps right now is the time -- the time to take yourself on as a project. I work with traumatic grief and loss — with some of the most painful experiences people endure.

I am an experienced therapist, working with individuals and couples. I am open to helping you with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, self-care, spirituality, life purpose, end of life issues, ageing, stress, parenting, work, vocation, sexual orientation, transitioning, gender questioning, chronic illness, sexual abuse, and the residue of early childhood experiences. If you don’t see your concern here, please feel free to contact me to find out if it’s something I work with. I love to do this work. You can read more at rowanpercy.com

I deeply believe in the importance of providing a supportive therapeutic environment and the intentional space I hold for others is inspired by the beauty, complexity and intimacy found in process based art making experience. I specialize in Expressive Arts Therapy to build bridges of accessibility and support individuals in discovering new perspectives through arts materials and creative processes. Not everyone has the ability to verbally articulate what is going on for them. This is where I step in and present a platform for others to express and explore what is present for them through artistic processes.
