You & I will centre your experiences & understandings while we work together to uncover what has been avoided, hidden or forgotten. We'll practice a new you. We may explore your life in context of personal, family, cultural, & socio-economic influences. I take a trauma-informed approach complimented by somatic practices, & view life through a social constructionist lens. In non-academic terms, that means we’ll collaborate to discover how to unhook your life from suffering & celebrate the strengths, self-expression, & deeper truths I trust are present. I honour all expressions of spirituality. More here: Christopher-counselling.ca
Counselling conversations with me might involve slowing things down to be mindful of our embodied experience, honouring the wisdom of the body in setting safety & pace, thickening insight & meaning-making, confronting unhelpful conditioning, re-storying limiting narratives, applying spirituality &/or unveiling ways systems of oppression perpetuate suffering.
One of the most important contributors to successful counselling is your feeling of connection & ease with the counsellor. Reaching out to a counsellor can be an awkward, intimidating, empowering &/or liberating experience. I believe all the counsellors on this website celebrate your courage. I warmly welcome you in the next step of a free 15-minute consult.

Although most of my counselling experience is with male-identified folks, I welcome all genders. Conversations may touch on themes of attachment experiences, boundaries, trauma, spirituality, depression, overwhelm, healthy masculinities & men's sexuality. These are addressed through heartful interpersonal connection, gentle somatic and emotional explorations, & insight-oriented inquiries.
