Find A Psychologist in Bon Accord, AB.

I have been registered as a psychologist for the past 11 years, and have undergone training in a variety of counselling methods with many different types of clients. I use a variety of techniques depending on a client's personality, presenting issue, and what they are experiencing from week to week. I also focus on both shorter term counselling that is directed towards resolving a particular issue, as well as longer term psychotherapy that is more focused on internal exploration and deeper change. I provide a safe, empathic environment so that clients are comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and find the strength to overcome adversity and make healthy choices.

I am a Registered Psychologist specializing in counselling and sport psychology. I use a cognitive behavioural approach and also utilize other modalities to best meet the needs of the individual. I view therapy as a collaboration and work with you to establish and reach your goals. In doing so I help to facilitate the change process by helping bring out existing strengths in addition to other coping strategies and increased self-awareness and understanding.

I’m a bilingual registered psychologist, and I offer sessions in both French and English. I love supporting adults and first responders as they navigate life’s challenges with warmth and understanding. My approach is trauma-informed, meaning I recognize how past experiences can shape how we feel, think, and connect with others today — often in ways we don’t even realize. Together, we’ll create a safe, trusting space to explore what you’ve been through with compassion rather than judgment. I see reactions like shutting down, feeling on edge, or disconnecting, not as flaws, but as ways your system has tried to keep you safe. In our work, you’ll learn gentle ways to calm your body, understand your emotions. The focus isn’t on what’s “wrong” with you, but on what’s happened to you.

People come to see me and I try to help them through listening with compassion and speaking from the heart. I hold space for the extraordinary and I keep secrets for a living. I am no-teacher no-healer no-doctor no-therapist. I am Paul. Most of what I know about helping people I learned from the people I have helped so far. Although I have a great formal education and helpful expertise to share, when I listen to someone speak of the facts of their experience, I am listening to the world's foremost expert on the topic. If I keep my mind open, this experience is the best education humanly possible.

My approach to working with clients is in the first counselling session to get a detailed understanding of the symptoms regarding mental health that you identify with, and more specifically the impacts they have on your day to day functioning.
