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.

If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or just tired of carrying it all on your own, you’re not alone. The truth is, mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum – the ways we learn to cope, express, or shut down are shaped by how we were raised, what was expected of us, and the messages we’ve absorbed about what it means to “be a man.”

In our work together, we slow things down and get curious about what’s really happening underneath the surface – not to overanalyze, but to help you make sense of your experience in a way that feels grounding and real. My style is collaborative, straightforward, and human. I meet you where you’re at, and together we work toward a steadier, more connected way of being in your life.

I am part of the Kelowna Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310‬.

Dominic Brennan

MA in Mental Health Counselling, Palo Alto University California
Years in practice: 14
Offers:  Remote Therapy

We all need an outlet outside of family, friends and work to open-up about issues that need clarification. We can collaborate on solutions, and come up with ideas. Counselling often helps in dealing with problems that are bringing us down, and we feel holding us back from progressing in life.
My approach is influenced by person-centered theory using techniques from Solution Focused Therapy. I do not focus a great deal on emotions or get stuck in the past. Instead, I work on current behaviors, and where you want to go from here by breaking down what is holding you back.
