Counselling Approaches
Bernard draws from a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches to tailor counselling to each client’s unique needs and goals. His clinical work integrates Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and grief counselling principles to support healing, resilience, and meaningful change. Whether clients are navigating anxiety, trauma, loss, relationship challenges, or life transitions, Bernard works collaboratively to build practical skills, deepen self-awareness, and foster lasting growth.
Individual Counselling
Individual Counselling (50 minutes) with Bernard provides a safe space to express thoughts, feelings, and concerns without judgment. This is an opportunity to gain deeper self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and work towards achieving your therapy goals. The therapeutic relationship fosters trust and collaboration, empowering clients to navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and clarity.
Youth & Family Counselling
Youth & Family Counselling (60 minutes) with Bernard provides a supportive and collaborative space for young people and their caregivers to navigate challenges related to emotions, behaviour, communication, family conflict, school, identity, and life transitions. Drawing on years of experience supporting youth and families, Bernard helps strengthen relationships, improve understanding, and foster healthier patterns of connection both at home and beyond.
Clinical Supervision
As an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) Candidate with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC), I am passionate about supporting counsellors and helping professionals in their ongoing professional growth and development. Clinical supervision offers a dedicated space to reflect on your work, strengthen clinical skills, navigate ethical considerations, and deepen self-awareness as a practitioner. Whether you are early in your career or an experienced clinician seeking additional support, supervision can play a valuable role in maintaining confidence, competence, and effectiveness in your practice.
My approach to supervision is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment. I enjoy helping clinicians explore challenging cases, work through areas of uncertainty, identify blind spots, and build on their existing strengths. Drawing from my experience in private practice, crisis response, community mental health, youth work, and organizational wellness, I strive to create a reflective environment where counsellors can think critically, expand their clinical toolbox, and continue developing their professional identity.
I believe that sustainable and effective clinical work requires ongoing support. Supervision is not simply about meeting professional requirements—it is an investment in your long-term capacity, well-being, and growth as a helping professional. I am honoured to support clinicians who are committed to providing ethical, culturally responsive, and impactful care to the individuals, families, and communities they serve.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting (50 mins) is a non-invasive and effective therapeutic technique that aims to access and process deep-rooted emotional experiences including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, performance enhancement, trauma and much more. During these sessions Bernard guides client eye movements to locate specific “brainspots” associated with the source of their distress. Once identified, these spots are fine tuned to facilitate the processing and release of unresolved trauma stored in the brain.
