Bruce Avery
Bruce Avery
My name is Bruce Avery and I work as a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Certified Sex Therapist (AASECT) and I’m the Founder of Avery Therapy Centre & Stellium Sex Therapy. I work with a wide range of people who may seek increased perspective, self-understanding, and clarity in their everyday lives. I also work with people who may feel that anxiety, depression, or past trauma is hindering them from achieving their goals.
When working with me, you can expect to be treated with respect, care, and compassion. It is my intention to develop a foundation of trust and security and an environment in which you can explore your inner world and feel more empowered. My practice is trauma and culture informed.

I believe that emotional and mental injuries are much like physical ones. Some are caused by us, some are caused by others but these injuries can heal and there are things we can do to speed up the healing process. I take a holistic approach to supporting clients by working with you to develop a recovery plan that works best for you. Services available both online and in-person.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, BC, with over a decade of experience specializing in youth, adolescent, and teen mental health. I have worked extensively in community-based agencies and school districts throughout the lower mainland, offering mental health support to youth, families, and individuals.
In addition to my practical experience, my education includes two bachelor’s degrees (B.A. and B.Ed.) from Simon Fraser University, as well as a master’s degree (M.Ed.) in counselling from City University of Seattle. My training encompasses client-centered, trauma-informed practices, with a focus on CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based therapy, and solution-focused therapy.

I have 15 + years of experience in the social work field (from child protection to medical social work- including ER, Maternity, and medical units). I have spent the last 3 years working on an Inpatient Psychiatry Unit where you can still find me 3 days per week. I pride myself in helping and working with individuals struggling with mental illness and addictions as well as their loved ones.
I practice within a trauma informed, anti-oppressive and intersectional practice and use the following counselling approaches:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
Motivational Interviewing
Solution-Focused Therapy
Gottman’s Couple’s Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

I take a holistic, mind-body approach in my practice and work to develop an awareness of how our nervous system plays a key role in regulating our emotions and internal state. I integrate aspects of both talk and body-based interventions to best support healing.
I specialize in; anxiety, trauma, stress, burnout, relationship issues, athletic & sports performance, and emotional regulation.
I draw primarily from polyvagal-informed therapy to support emotional and nervous system regulation, helping clients build resilience and cultivate safety in their bodies. I integrate somatic practices to encourage deeper body awareness and facilitate healing, and utilize EMDR to process past trauma and rewire unhelpful patterns.

Counselling doesn’t have to be clinical or intimidating — it’s simply a place where you don’t have to carry everything alone. Many men come to therapy not because something is “wrong” with them, but because they’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift. I help men make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface — the stress, shutdown, frustration, or emotional numbness that so often goes unnamed.
I also work with couples, particularly around the pressures men experience in relationships when they are expected to be strong, steady, communicative, emotionally available — even when no one taught them how. My approach is grounded, steady, and emotionally safe for clients who don’t usually open up easily.
I am part of the Surrey Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310.

My practice specializes in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic illness or cancer, ADHD, grief, and major life transitions, including the shift into adulthood and evolving family dynamics. I recognize that our identities and personal narratives are shaped by lived experiences—challenges, traumas, and milestones that influence our resilience and self-perception. By exploring these influences, we can foster personal growth and meaningful transformation.

There are times in life when each one of us will encounter challenges or difficult situations. In those times, it takes courage to reach out and ask for help, but we are all in this together, and there is help here. Being of service to another human being and finding a way to help is a privilege I am grateful for whenever it is presented to me. My goal is to do just that, to help my clients find a way to work through the challenges of life in a way that best suits who they are in a safe, non-judgmental and collaborative approach. You already have everything you need to be happy and overcome the obstacles life has put in your way. My job is to help you discover and develop those strengths.

Peter Jamieson

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor my approach is very pragmatic. I understand that when life is already hard the last thing a man needs is someone making it more complicated. I bring together my Master of Arts (Counselling Psychology) with my Master of Human Kinetics (Coaching Science) and my long-time experience as a high-performance sport coach and educator to create an approach that is solution-focused and positive. We’ll work as a team to create realistic goals, find the right tools for you, do the necessary work to move forward and make improvements in your life.

I believe in using our Diversity as an instrument to support people in their growth, rather than as a weapon to hurt ourselves and others. Therefore, I am committed to providing a respectful, safe, and welcoming space regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, socioeconomic condition, disability, or religion.
I bring different theoretical approaches to my practice, such as Psychoanalysis, Family Dynamics Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focus Therapy (CFT) and Traditional Indigenous Cultural practices. Services in English and Spanish, in-person or video sessions, and a sliding scale as needed.

Duncan values providing care that is affirming, non-judgmental, inclusive, and poignant to each individual’s needs. He creates a warm and inviting space so that clients can feel safe and encouraged to explore their concerns.

By learning to access those resources through self-compassion, inquiry, acceptance, and skill-building, he believes that clients can navigate challenges with greater resiliency and foresight.
Overall, Duncan sees his clients’ humanity, identifies and nurtures their strengths, and assists them to find solace and normalcy again.
