Meet the Therapist
Brad founded Relate Counselling with a vision to provide excellent counselling services where people can enjoy the full benefit of counselling.  Many people do a few sessions, but frequently various pressures conspire to limit the number of sessions.

You will receive a warm welcome and will be accepted as you are at Relate Counselling.  You will find support, the best resources, and ample encouragement as you discover a healthier you. 

​Brad received his Master of Arts in Counselling from Providence Seminary & University, then Registered as a Counsellor with the CCPA (Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association).  He has previously counselled at the Calgary Counselling Centre, as a Domestic Violence Specialist, and at the Canadian Mental Health Association.
In the past, Brad has worked with Young Life, the Mustard Seed Homeless Shelter, Camp Chestermere, and as the leader of three different Youth Groups.  These settings created his desire to make a difference in the world instead of just making money.

Brad has spent over a decade of summers river guiding.  He loves the outdoors, and gets to the backcountry often.  He finds that nature is humbling, inspiring, and a place of awe. 

Spirituality

Core values emerge from deep within us that influence both our view of success and what will make us suffer.  We all have our unique answers to the "why" questions of life, and are all spiritual beings.  Brad is comfortable including spirituality in the counselling process, which means meeting you exactly where you are.

Christian Counselling

We offer excellence in Christian Counselling for those clients who prefer this option.  If this is not your preference, we use the best that psychology has to offer to create the relationships and realities you are looking for.  Brad received his Bachelor of Theology from Alberta Bible College, and brings 16 years of pastoral ministry experience. ​

"My background as a pastor has equipped me well to work with those who prefer a Christian Counselling experience that will respect and build their faith.  I always seek to fuel a vibrant experience of God in both myself and my clients.  I always let the client take the lead, and respect right where they are in their journey.  I integrate the best of what faith and psychology has to offer".  -Brad
