About Existentia Counselling
Meet Dennis
I believe in the transformational power of the therapeutic relationship. Real change happens when we look honestly at what's keeping us stuck, and life becomes more meaningful — and less chaotic — when we have the courage to accept who and where we are. There is nothing more liberating than being yourself, and that is what I am here to help you explore.
I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor with a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology and over 10 years of experience working with youth and adults across a range of settings — including schools, drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres, and private practice. I currently serve as a contractor with VICCIR (Vancouver Island Centre for Counselling, Immigration and Refugees), providing counselling to immigrants and refugees across the region.
I work primarily with individuals aged 15 and over who are navigating challenging or transitional periods in their lives — whether that involves anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, identity, or existential questions about meaning and direction.
I take a collaborative, trauma-informed approach to every session. I value emotional safety and cultural responsiveness, and I aim to create a therapeutic space that feels supportive, professional, and non-judgmental. Sessions are available in both English and Spanish.
I am a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and practice in accordance with their ethical and professional standards. All sessions are conducted on secure, privacy-compliant platforms, and client confidentiality and informed consent are central to how I work.
How I Work
My practice draws on evidence-based approaches including Client-Centered Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and trauma-informed care. This means that you set the pace and direction of our work together. Rather than prescribing solutions, I work collaboratively with you to help you develop your own internal resources and find your way toward a more fulfilling life.
Whether you are dealing with something specific or simply feeling stuck, sessions are designed to be a space where you can speak freely and feel genuinely heard.
If you are ready to take a first step — or just want to see if this feels like the right fit — booking a session is simple and there is no pressure or commitment required. I offer secure online counselling across British Columbia, including clients in Victoria and surrounding communities.
Remember, you don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out. That's what the sessions are for.
