Great-West Life Therapists in Sooke, BC
My method is not so much about solving our problems, it's about outgrowing them as we expand and deepen our perspective and personal narrative through soul-centered conversations and work with dreams and stories.
I work with individuals of all ages who are feeling stuck in their professional, emotional and spiritual development, helping them investigate the limiting thoughts, beliefs and behaviours that are holding them back from realizing their full potential for love, intimacy, creativity and enjoyment of life.
My approach is inspired by C.G. Jung, James Hillman, Thomas Moore and others who work with a soul-centered approach.

Hi, I’m Rod. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP), a member of the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and a member of the Canadian Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BC Division).
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re carrying a lot. My goal is to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and genuinely supportive. Whether you’re a teen trying to make sense of what’s happening, an adult feeling stuck or burnt out, or a family seeking more connection, you don’t have to do it alone. I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

I see clients in-person and online - am accepting new clients at this time. Life can feel overwhelming at times and all of us can benefit from outside help at some point in our lives. It takes courage to reach out for that help and so welcome to my page. I treat each client differently because we are all different. What is common though is my belief in a collaborative approach. Together we can prioritize issues so that you can become the best version of yourself - your authentic true self.. I have lived experience with ADHD. Coping strategies help alot. NOTE: I do not use A.I. in my practice. 100% confidentiality guaranteed.

From the outside it looks like you have it handled. Inside, your nervous system never got the memo that the threat passed. Sleep is broken. Patience is short. The thoughts loop. You've thought about therapy before and stopped, because the idea of spending three sessions explaining your world to someone who's never been in it felt worse than carrying it alone.

I have supported a lot of people struggling with anxiety, depression, feelings of aloneness, and a yearning for things to be different. Maybe you know there’s old baggage (hello, old childhood wounds!) that probably needs unpacking, but don't know how to start… or maybe you’re truly not even sure why everything feels hard. I support a team of excellent counsellors in a welcoming group practice, and my top priority is to make sure that we are offering therapy that feels worth your time, energy and money. If you want to feel like your counsellor gets you, for real, and won't pathologize you, then you're in the right place.

I work with thoughtful, high-capacity women who are late-diagnosed or exploring ADHD, autism, AuDHD, burnout, sensory overwhelm, masking, and chronic exhaustion. Many have spent years adapting, over-functioning, caregiving, or performing while feeling disconnected from themselves. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and body-centered. Together, we explore nervous system patterns, sensory load, identity, relationships, and sustainable ways of living so clients can better understand themselves, reduce overwhelm, and build lives aligned with who they truly are.

In over thirty years working as a psychologist, I have become convinced that the most effective way to help others is through a collaborative approach. When the client and therapist work together to find solutions, the emphasis is placed on the client’s individual perspective and the strengths and successes they have already achieved. At the core of therapy, I believe, is a non-judgemental and compassionate view of how everyone’s personal journey involves overcoming suffering and moving towards self-acceptance, empowerment and emotional well- being. I also provide Supervision for therapists.

Psychotherapy: Tending to Soul.
Our pain and "symptoms" (depression, anxiety, grief) are often expressions of our unmet, sometimes unconscious longings. Turning toward our experiences with compassion can offer insight into what we are needing. I encourage folks to share what is on their hearts and to notice what comes up when that sharing is held in a safe, nonjudgmental container.
We'll often turn to the body to check in, notice where emotion is moving or stuck, where trauma or intuition are held. So much can move and transform when we have a trusted and confidential place to process our experiences and to speak our truths.

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples who have experienced significant trauma in their lives, including those with complex PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, and borderline personality disorder.

So I want to help you process those past hurts so that you can get back to living the life you want. I provide therapy to people of all cultures, faiths, genders, and sexual orientations, valuing each person’s unique experiences.
