As a Certified Canadian Counsellor in good standing, Grant has maintained a successful private practice for more than 6 years. Offering counselling to adults and couples, Grant uses a client-centred approach from which he is committed to understanding deeply the symptoms, behavioural patterns, and limiting beliefs that get in the way of one’s ability to thrive in the world. Known for his calm, warm, and caring demeanour, clients often remark how easy it is to talk openly and honestly with him about life’s many challenges. Grant’s kind, caring, supportive, respectful, and compassionate nature allows his clients to feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted just as they are.
Grant believes strongly in the importance of establishing and nurturing a strong therapeutic alliance with all of his clients. As part of this, his goal is to create a warm, safe, and accepting space that allows clients to begin to look inwards and get to know those parts of Self they may not know exist and deepen their understanding of the ways in which these parts are impacting their lives. Grant is also strong proponent of self-compassion and conscious living.
Outside of work, Grant enjoys spending time with family and friends. He is a keen traveller and enjoys visiting places near and far to experience the many sights, sounds, and tastes the world has to offer. Grant is a life-long learner and maintains a regular practice of yoga and meditation. He also enjoys music and live theatre, and whenever the weather permits, you will probably find him on the golf course.
