If you’re ready for change, I can help. I offer counselling and therapy services from my easily accessible office in Downtown Vancouver to anywhere in B.C. and Ontario via secure online video chat. With over a decade of experience as a social worker and therapist, I can help you find healthier ways to manage and cope with everyday stresses and tackle complex mental health challenges.
I specialize in treating chronic insomnia with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and other sleep-impacting issues like anxiety, depression, and nightmares. You’ve taken such an important step by seeking support, and I know that it’s not easy. I invite you to connect with me to see how I can help.

My practice is person-centred, trauma-informed, and draws largely from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) – a relational and emotion-focused approach. I believe each person is the expert in their own life and inherently has the knowledge and resources necessary to guide the therapeutic process, make changes, and move toward their preferred ways of living. I am here to support you with this process.
I have a reputation for being non-judgmental and gentle in my approach, which promotes the sense of safety and openness necessary to collaboratively unpack and find relief from the challenges of life. Often, this involves building awareness of old emotional patterns and working together to develop and experience new and preferred patterns in session.

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.

Pragmatic and Solution Oriented. First, I clear up any vague or unclear treatment goals or confusions. Before assuming that there is a problem based on faulty thinking, I review the basic life situation to make sure that basic human needs are being met. I take into account any impulses and direction that come from the deeper, more authentic Self (psycho-spiritual issues). When indicated, I will work with dreams, metaphor, and imagination. On a good day, I help people make the necessary changes to their inner and outer worlds, so their goals are met.

I adopt a relational developmental framework to counselling, applying a trauma informed and anti-oppressive lens. My focus is on creating a warm, secure and trusting environment where you feel supported and seen. My instinct is to be curious about the impact of family, culture, community, religion, institutions and social norms on our development and relationships to ourselves, others and the world around us. The impact of these systems can be deep seated, like the roots of a tree. I am a warm, genuine, compassionate, curious and non-judgemental person. I love to laugh, I truly believe in the power of humour to connect us and lighten the shadows.

My experience working within interdisciplinary treatment teams taught me that measurable changes to mental health function are critical. I have found that the counselling process can be vague, unstructured, and without clear timelines. I set clear goals with clients and remain accountable to treatment progression and achieving therapeutic outcomes. Struggling with mental health concerns is common, and I aim to normalize this with clients so we can start treatment. I do not want to just work in the field of mental health, but want to change it. I want men to speak up and get help when they cannot cope.

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. Duncan believes that every person has the internal resources to guide them through life’s trials. 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.

I work with men experiencing difficult problems. Such problems go by many names, and may be new or old, but all share the common trait of stubbornly obstructing our happiness. Yet despite the hardship they cause, our problems also carry essential insight about what is needed for their resolution. I work with you to reveal these insights, to gather their wisdom, and to transform them into opportunities for greater well-being and engagement with life. You can visit my website to easily book a free, unhurried conversation about the problems you’re experiencing, and the life you’d like to live. We’ll talk about ways to help you move toward that life, using approaches that feel natural, intuitive, and possibly even exciting.

I’m passionate about welcoming individuals of all backgrounds into my practice and my primary areas of focus are clients with anxiety and depression, substance use challenges, developmental trauma, stress management, and life transitions.

As someone who has changed careers a few times, I understand the process of finding purpose in your life and am able to provide tools to those searching for meaning in their everyday lives.

I am a trilingual registered counsellor from Hong Kong, and I practice in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. My interest in becoming a counsellor came from my experience of witnessing a close family member suffering from schizophrenia, along with my own struggles with anxiety and self-esteem.
Over the years, I integrated my training and these many experiences to help me relate to a wide range of individuals and the different circumstances they bring to me. I am good at helping my clients connect on a deeper level to themselves so that they can respond and not just react. I also help clients describe their inner world of emotions in a way that finally makes sense to them so that they can get unstuck.
