Abou
t John
In 1995, I completed a Masters in Social Work and since then have practiced as a registered social worker in Alberta and British Columbia. I provide counselling and therapy for individuals and couples seeking greater vitality in their lives.
I am skilled in supporting people who are experiencing the impacts of trauma, mental health challenges and problematic substance use as well as those experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss and/or relationship challenges.
The variety of approaches that I employ create an eclectic palate through which I engage individuals or couples in creative processes of transformation.
John requires new clients to book a free 30-min consultation to ensure he is the right fit for you. John is on leave until October 2026. John offers his counselling and therapy services under Awakening Heart Counselling.
John can direct bill his counselling services to First Nations Health Authority, Medavie Blue Cross for Veterans and Crime Victims Assistance Program.
