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.

Master of Counselling in Psychology, Adler University
Years in practice: 5
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I provide therapy for adults and youth struggling with depression, anxiety, symptoms of trauma, and feeling directionless and purposeless in life. Having previously worked as a journalist, janitor, construction worker and kids’ camp counsellor, I know what it’s like to take time finding your way in life. I also understand the stigma around receiving mental health services and strive to provide confidential counselling. I tend to use evidenced-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I also employs a client-centred approach to therapy, prioritizing efficient and effective therapy.

MA in Counselling Psychology, Yorkville University
Years in practice: 7
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I provide counselling services in French and English for individuals in matters related to anxiety, depression, life transition, gender, grief, loss and suicide. My practice is founded on the belief that you are not the “problems” present in your life, and that, above all, you are greater than the sum of the events in your life. As my counselling approach is strength-based, Solution-Focused and Narrative-rooted, our conversations will identify, explore and honour the big and small ways you defy and resist “problems”, while re-authoring a deeper and richer version of your life and journey.

My approach to counselling depends greatly on you and your experiences. Our work will begin by understanding your story, experiences and the resulting life that you’re living. Through getting to know each other and hearing about your experiences, we will use the information revealed to begin resolving your issues – be it helping you understand existing problems, manage difficult symptoms or adopt healthier ways of living and relating.

I believe the best results come from a strong relationship and a willingness to change and challenge your self. If you feel ready to take these steps, please reach out to see if we’re a good fit to work together. Have a nice day.

Masters of Art in Counselling Psychology (MACP)
Years in practice: 2
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I work with men who are tired of holding it all in—overthinking everything, feeling pressure to always perform, or just feeling emotionally shut down. You don’t need to have it all figured out before you show up.

Therapy with me gives you space to slow down, actually hear yourself think, and get to the bottom of what’s going on.

I draw from approaches like CBT, ACT, EFT, and IFS—but I keep it practical and focused.

Together, we make sense of what’s driving your stress, patterns, and reactions—and build real strategies to help you take action. The goal is for you to feel more in control, make clearer decisions, and move through life with more confidence and direction.

For 18+ years I have assisted adults struggling with mental health issues, substance use, trauma, anger, grief, as well as isolation and disconnection. I use a collaborative approach with clients to develop treatment plans, and goal setting. You know your experience — your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — better than anyone else. I incorporate mindfulness into my therapy practice to aid in anxiety reduction, productivity, self-awareness and confidence. I have studied and include in my practice other approaches such as cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, secular Buddhism, narrative, Imago (for effective couples’ communication) and emotion-focused therapy.

One of the most noble pursuits and individual can have is to strive to lead a meaningful and purposeful life.  This can be an extremely difficult task, both in terms of determining what this personally means and then figuring out how to get there.  When we feel stuck and overwhelmed, other negative and self-limiting states also take shape including anxiety and depression, leaving us full of bad habits and desperate for change.  In the therapeutic work with Andrew, the aim is to uncover the root causes that inhibit fulfillment and to further apply practical strategies that will permit change and foster personal growth.

I believe curiosity can replace judgment, and this natural curiosity toward people led me into a career in Mental Health, and the creation of my practice in 2019. I’m drawn to modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Approaches.

In my work, I utilize a therapeutic approach that fosters practical and measurable progress for clients. To create that impact, I draw on over ten years of varied work experience, ranging from community-based treatments to private practice and corporate work. This contributes to a creative and open-minded way of counselling, allowing me to pull from this wide range of experience, as well as my coaching work, and deliver real change for people.

How do we know what works – and why? I believe that most people can ultimately provide the answers for themselves; however, it may take some exploration. I therefore use strategies that are evidence-based and research-driven, to help clients build resilience and develop effective coping strategies.
A counsellor is someone who is there to provide guidance and support in times of unmanageable stress. While our sessions may draw from various counselling approaches, including CBT, SFBT, and Narrative Therapy, the client ultimately provides the backdrop – and puts in the work – that leads to lasting change.
