Years in practice: 25+
Offers:  Remote Therapy

It’s tough to be a man. I know. I’ve been one all of my life. Whether it be emotional or sexual intimacy issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem and the over-reliance on career, substances, money or sex, men can get lost in a thousand different ways. For 36 years now I have been counselling men and know this territory inside and out.

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.

Hi, I am a registered clinical counsellor and psychological first aid provider whose counselling work integrates emotional, physiological and social avenues to achieve lasting positive change. I have supported those struggling with depression, addiction, anxiety, eating disorders, co-dependency, life transitions, emotional regulation, stress management, attachment disorders, self-harm, OCD and other mental health issues. Using a cognitive-behavioural approach (CBT), I work with clients to break and replace self-defeating thoughts and behaviours. Having been raised in a bicultural home, I also recognize the important, yet often difficult, demands placed by family and culture and jointly seeks ways to balance such needs.

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.

Rim Yassine

REMOTE ACROSS BC

Rim Yassine

MA, The University of Queensland
Years in practice: 11
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I work with adults—particularly men and queer/trans clients—who feel exhausted by coping alone, disconnected from themselves or others, or under pressure to “hold it together.”

My therapeutic approach is trauma‑informed, relational, and integrative. I draw from somatic therapy, attachment‑based work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and existential and narrative approaches.

Sessions are paced collaboratively, with close attention to nervous system regulation, safety, and consent. Rather than pushing for insight or change before readiness, the work unfolds in a grounded and steady way that supports lasting integration and deeper self‑trust.

I offer remote therapy across British Columbia and Ontario.

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.

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.

MA in Counselling Psychology, Yorkville University

Offers:  Remote Therapy

I specialize in two areas. Men’s sexual health and relationship concerns, where we co-examine the psychological, biological, social, and behavioural factors behind sexual issues or relationship insecurities that are creating barriers and holding men back from connecting.

I also help men explore work and life transitions: stressors that make people resistant to change. For some, it can be examining their “blind spots” that prevent them from recognizing the right time to make a transition.

I use a strengths-based approach to move you from where you are to where you want to be. I provide a caring and nurturing space for clients to express feelings, emotions, behaviours, and relationships.
