Kerry is an Associate Member of the Professional Association of Canadian Christian Counsellors.  He holds a Bachelor or Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Alberta, and a Masters of Arts degree in Counselling from North American Baptist Seminary (1993), specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy.  He owns his own private practise, Lotus Counselling, and offers individual, couple, and family therapy.

His approach to counselling is known as the Internal Family Systems model.  It is one of the fastest growing approaches developed over the last 20 years.  This approach is very effective in dealing with the entire spectrum of individual and relational concerns, including couple's therapy.

As Kerry takes you through the counselling process, he will help you find healing through listening inside yourself in a new way.  He will help you to listen to different "parts" of yourself- feelings or thoughts - and in the process unburden these parts of their extreme beliefs, emotions, or sensations that constrain your life.  This unburdening process allows one to better access our true Self, who we are at our core, which is our most precious resource to allow us to move on with confidence, calmness, compassion, courage and creativity.

Kerry strongly believes whatever it is you may be experiencing, whether fear, disorientation, anxiety, hopelessness, sadness, or feeling overwhelmed, it is possible with therapy to move to a place of clarity, strength, hope, calmness and compassion.  Kerry is warm, compassionate, gentle, respectful, and hopeful.  He provides you with a trusting, non-judgemental environment so you can safely explore all the various parts of yourself.

Kerry is a very involved and proud father of two amazing teenage boys.  He has a deep reverence for all faiths and cultures, a broad range of life experience, and he is confident in his ability to assist you in your journey towards healing and change. 

Kerry offers a free consultation, over the phone or in person, to give you ability to answer any questions you still may have.
