Areas of Particular Interest:

Life is a journey filled with both planned and unexpected changes.   

If you are facing a major life transition like... 

• getting married, becoming a parent, separated, or divorced; 
• an unexpected change in health or wellness; 
• grief and loss;
• living with persistent pain due to an injury, illness or accident;
• career transition or job loss; 
• traumatic experiences; or
• any number of experiences where you find yourself in uninvited, uncomfortable, or unfamiliar circumstances...

...counselling can be an invaluable companion through these transformative moments.

By offering emotional support, coping strategies, and valuable insights, counselling can help you process the past, adapt to the present, and prepare for tomorrow in ways that honour your unique values and life goals.

Life Happens Counselling  tailors the therapeutic approach to your unique needs, ensuring that you receive personalized, professional support to overcome obstacles, achieve personal goals, and find a path towards a more fulfilling life.

Mens Mental Health

Life Happens Counselling  understands the unique challenges men face, including stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. We provide a safe, confidential space where men can openly discuss their concerns and work towards building resilience, emotional well-being, and a more balanced life. Whether you're dealing with a specific issue or seeking overall mental wellness, our personalized approach ensures you receive the support you need.

Infertility, Birth Trauma, or Perinatal Loss:

The journey through infertility difficulties and reproductive trauma can be a very isolating, confusing, emotional roller coaster of hope and loss, joy and sadness. I am honoured to walk with all clients through these challenging life events and am especially interested in supporting men and dads through their own experiences of infertility, loss, and perinatal challenges.  

I am  cross-listed as a counsellor with the Pacific Perinatal Foundation whose mission is to "...provide support, advocacy, and community for individuals and families navigating the difficult paths of infertility, pregnancy loss, and perinatal challenges. We are more than just a foundation, we are a space for compassion and hope – offering programs, heartfelt stories, and resources to support you on your healing journey."

Persistent Pain

Experiencing persistent pain takes its toll physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  Its constant presence touches all aspects of life and can cause people to feel a range of things including: isolated, frustrated, angry, hopeless and more.  The good news is that pain doesn't have to determine how you live your life.  Let's work together to discover how you can still make positive values-based choices that move you towards the kind of person you want to be in spite of your circumstances.
