Hi, I’m Wil (M.Couns., MA, B.Sc.). A counsellor with 15+ years of lived & professional experience. I left a high‑pressure corporate job to do work that actually matters: helping people understand what's going on in their head to build a life that is honest, grounded, and aligned. I don’t offer a place to vent. I offer a working partnership. Together, we look at what’s really going on - the ongoing hum of anxiety, the burnout that feels normal, the relationship patterns that stopped working, and the expectations you’re not sure are even yours. My approach is collaborative, practical, and straight forward. No jargon. No pretending.
I draw from evidence‑based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness‑based approaches, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These frameworks help you step back from the noise, understand your patterns, and create space for better choices to move you in the right direction.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent years in corporate leadership dealing with people, politics, and the emotional toll of “always‑on” work. This gives me a real‑world understanding of how stress, performance, & relationships collide. My work now centres on helping people reconnect with themselves, challenge old narratives, and take meaningful action.

Choosing the right therapist matters. My approach is about giving you practical tools to move forward. This work can be challenging. It often means being willing to take action, change patterns, and do things differently. If you're willing to do the work, we can focus on real progress.

I focus to help people address challenges related to men's issues, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationships. The pressures of modern "always on" work, the constant digital overload, and navigating complex relationships. All of this takes a toll. And keeping it all inside just increases stress, anxiety, and insecurity. I get it. I've been there.

I have referred several of the male partners of the couples I work with to William and do so in complete confidence. He has an amazing ability to address male issues and addiction in a way that feels grounded, non-judgmental and empathetic.

I use a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, ACT, and Mindfulness, to help you step back from the challenges and make more room for what matters. Most people already know the answers they're looking for; it just gets buried under pressure, expectations, and a busy life. Your goal is my goal. I'm on your team.
