Christian Monks Counselling

Christian Monks

I have been a therapist since 2008 and I am a Certified AEDP Therapist and Registered Clinical Counsellor.


I help you reconnect with your innate wisdom by supporting you in healing, rediscovering your sense of self, and reconnecting with the transformative power of your emotions.


You may have forgotten your emotions, but your emotions have never forgotten you.


I have 2 kids with my partner from high school. I volunteer as a meditation instructor and I am committed to a contemplative tradition. I love gardening and chopping and stacking wood. I believe that we all need to leave a place better than when we found it. 

AEDP

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is one of the most effective therapeutic approaches I have encountered. It is a gentle yet precise therapy that can help address procrastination, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome, while supporting the regulation of anxiety, shame, guilt, and depression. Most importantly, AEDP can help you reconnect with and reveal your true, authentic self.


Unlike therapeutic approaches that primarily focus on pathology, AEDP emphasizes healing, growth, and transformation. It cultivates positive emotional experiences, both in how you relate to yourself and in the therapeutic relationship. Through this process, you can begin to move beyond entrenched defensive patterns toward a deeper sense of being seen, understood, and connected to your best self.


Perhaps most importantly, AEDP nurtures the conditions in which your innate wisdom can emerge more freely and become a more consistent part of your everyday life.

Welcome to Christian Monks Counselling

My passion is to support you in becoming the fullest expression of yourself—living authentically, embracing your vitality, and moving through life with purpose, both as an individual and in your relationships. Through modalities such as AEDP therapy and anxiety therapy, along with personal growth counselling and trauma therapy, I am here to guide you, including in the context of couples counselling, to help you achieve your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach me at christian.monks.rcc@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

I offer counselling to individuals and couples and I offer in-person as well as on-line counselling. I am in the office Monday to Friday between 9:30 to 4.


We can work together in one of two ways.


Option 1: You know what you want to work on.
I’ll simply ask you, “What would you like to work on today?” Often, this involves a pattern or behaviour you feel stuck in, such as emotional dysregulation, procrastination, avoidance, addiction, an inner critic, or anxiety, to name a few.


Option 2: You’re not sure what you want to work on.
That’s absolutely fine, too. I can help you connect with your unconscious through the body, allowing us to explore what might be beneath the surface.

You don’t need to have the answers or know where to begin. Just show up, and I’ll guide you through the process.


A counselling session is the clinical hour (50+ minutes) and I typically see people on a biweekly basis.
