Provider information

Description

Hi there, my name is Steve and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I was born in Scotland, but moved to Canada from the UK as a child. I have lived most of my life here in BC, although I worked abroad for a few years in Asia and South America. I am happily married and my wife and I have a four-legged companion we call Luna.

As a trained Clinical Counsellor focused on serving men and couples, I help clients better understand their challenges and find new paths to positive change. My gentle and relational approach to therapy offers a safe space of trust and acceptance.
