“Things do not change; we change” - Henry David Thoreau
 Hello and Welcome to this page...

 
My guess is that - among other possibilities - you may be reading here because you are challenged, that is: - Stressed - Lonely - Hurt - Hopeful - Anxious - Abused - Automated - Depressed - Confused or Sad. Perhaps you feel baffled by some relationship – say with a friend, parent, lover, boss, partner, child, even yourself – with someone you love, fear, dislike, feel you need to hate, someone you’ve lost  or else the enigma of thoughts, feelings or awarenesses you want to understand.
 
As of August 1st, 2025, I've resigned from the College of Psychotherapists (CRPO). I made this shift (at 77 years young:) – after an overall time of 53 years as a mental health practitioner – in order to resume my prior range of roles, i.e. supporting an overall focus on Integral Health: our existential, in depth and everyday Wellbeing. My training has been via life :> plus a 1972 BA (App Soc Sci) and a 1976 MEd (Counselling). My role now is not as a therapist, but as an Emotional,  Spiritual, Practical and Overall Wellness Consultant, Life Coach and/or Counsellor – as I was from 1972 to my joining the CRPO in 2015. However no longer being a registrant with CRPO means that my fees likely will not be covered by insurance companies. Hence I've put my fees on a sliding scale from $120 to $180.00 per 60 minute hour, with negotiable discounts.
 
If the artificiality of these words on a screen get in your way, please feel to call or email me. It’s free and there is no obligation at all: try out whatever query you’d like. After this many years of doing this, to me it’s clear that there are actually no foolish questions about any of this >:}... I’d be glad to explain what-&-how I see the complexity of our interactions – all your/my/our Life Dialogues, our Search for a Third Way past either/or habits we embody. I am here as a consultant to you; you are in charge.
 
 
Please call me at 519 686 6822 or email me through the email form above. I’ll be happy to hear what you think, what way you’re wondering whether I can help you.
