You may find yourself dealing with challenges that have altered the structure of your life, as you knew it before. When things around us change, we can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the unknown and not feel prepared to adjust to new realities. These factors can trigger different emotions making us feel stuck or not able to move forward. My area of focus is diverse and includes; anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, grief, loss, unexpected life changes, crises, relationship issues, difficult family dynamics, health challenges, work, and school stress. My aim remains steadfast in helping clients find healthy ways to cope.

I have lived, studied and worked in the Arab world, South and Southeast Asia before settling in Vancouver, BC in 2011. A good friend and mentor describes me as a honey bee, a nahlah that has travelled from place to place in search of sweetness and wisdom. Urdu is my first language, and I have picked up English and some Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew along the way. I am a hanif believer who knows the divine as the light of the heavens and the earth and dares to have a critical-appreciative relationship with tradition.

Often my clients are wanting to explore a personal issue/problem/feeling that won't go away and is starting to affect almost every part of their life. Advice from friends or family isn't helping and nothing else they have tried has worked. They believe there must be a better way to be but somehow they are just stuck. I can help you tackle your issues, get unstuck, and find that better place. Both personally and professionally, I can attest to the power of awareness as a key factor in facilitating a desired change; We can’t find the truth listening to our own voice’s echo. We can find ourselves only in someone’s mirror”(Rumi, n.d)

Do you value relationships and feel you would like to be more confident in yourself? Our challenges can be our greatest teachers but they may feel overwhelming when we try to face them alone, especially if we have suffered through trauma. If you have emotional injuries in need of healing or a relationship you wish to bring closer, by exploring these issues we may uncover hidden resources and new possibilities. We may work through unconscious beliefs or hidden traumas along the way. By supporting ourselves in new ways, we can free ourselves from old fears and become more of who we truly are.

Hi, I’m Andrew- a therapist with a passion for finding purpose and meaning in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming and hard to make sense of. My counselling services focus on cultivating and discovering resilience, connection and trust-in-self to create meaningful, lasting change. Before beginning my counselling training I spent over a decade in the Army and have years of experience and training in psychology, counselling, resilience, trauma-treatment, life transitions, leadership, and planning to support my clients.

People seek counselling for different reasons: tragedies and traumas, personal struggles, unanticipated forks in the road of our lives, or questioning the path we are on. I strongly believe in the resilience and strength of each individual to find these answers, and I believe that I can be a valuable guide in helping you find these answers. I welcome individuals and couples from all walks of life and backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and non-traditional couples, as well as first-responders and members of the military.

My work as a counsellor is person-centered, meaning I approach my clients with compassion, curiousity and non-judgment. I am trained to work with clients with a variety of presenting concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship and communication issues, attachment, grief, body image, self-worth, life transitions, and others.

Counselling can be deeply personal and vulnerable, and it can take a lot of courage to open up in the therapy space. At the pace you set, my goal is to facilitate a process where you can deepen your connection with yourself, increase your understanding of your inner experience, and learn new tools, skills, and coping strategies to navigate life’s complexities. I aim to foster a supportive, healing environment to help you utilize your strengths to create meaningful changes in your life.

Peace be on you dear readers. I really congratulate you for taking the first step: looking for a counsellor. Seeking counselling is a sign of strength. It means that you want to see changes in your life. You may be dealing with depression, anxiety, panic attack, and or relationship issues or you may need to talk to someone who will not judge you.

In those days we need someone listen to us, hold our hands and to go through our difficult times. I am here for you.

Oftentimes we feel ‘stuck’ as though no movement forward is possible, or that our story is too complex to navigate and find healing from. Through my own experience, and in journeying alongside others, I have come to believe that freedom and life, even in the midst of significant pain and loss is possible. My clinical approach is unique, as I seek to incorporate the spiritual journey of the client, as understood through a Christian worldview, into the therapeutic process. I work using a parallel process of deepening your understanding of Self, and of God as you begin to reflect on your story.

If you are feeling stuck in your past, old ways of coping, or are replaying painful memories I want you to know that there is hope for your future. I work with many people, who, like you, each have unique stories, and have done their best to push forward and to leave their hurts behind. You may be surrounded by people, and yet feel a longing in your life for deeper connection and relationships. You might even feel disconnected from yourself, your body, and others. Perhaps you have tried to cope with the distress by turning to substances, food, self-harm, shopping, work, or other ways of feeling in control.

Throughout his years of clinical experience, Dr. Don Davies has implemented his seasoned clinical and therapy skills; by asking critical questions (using how and what not why); being objective, and presenting himself as an authentic, open minded and empathic consultant. He firmly believes that clients who reach their objectives, are masters of adversity having acquired the understanding that lasting change is a marathon, not a sprint. He has continued with ongoing clinical training along with his own individual and group therapy sessions.

Working from a person-centred approach, I believe that you are your own best-expert. It is my aim to foster a safe environment where sharing and exploring can be done freely. I work with couples using a combination of different approaches creating tailored solutions to the obstacles they might face everyday. Focussing on individual and relationship strengths for resolution strategies. I also use Gottman method approaches to help deepen connection and improve communication.

The emotions you're feeling—fear, anxiety, depression, hurt, grief, sadness—are not random; they are a natural response to your current circumstances. Acknowledging these feelings is crucial, and doing so in a safe space is the first step towards change. I offer such a space: secure, non-judgmental, and supportive.

Clients tell me I’m calm, curious, and compassionate—a patient, friendly collaborator who helps them find insight, connection, and direction. I'm a good fit with people who sometimes feel a bit “different” or want something a bit different in life. Like most, I am somewhat wounded myself (and relatively comfortable with it), and that helps me connect with people experiencing loneliness, anxiety, depression, feelings of day-to-day boredom and restlessness, and (perhaps especially) existential angst.

Counsellor-Bryan Kim. People often seek out therapy when they are facing pain and uncertainty — as well they should — but working with a therapist doesn’t need to be something that only happens in a moment of crisis or at the breaking point of a relationship. Therapy is also ideal during times of transition when you simply need some extra support and perspective. You owe it to yourself to take time for focus and reflection. Emotional intelligence and healthy coping skills have extraordinary value, and you should consider therapy to be an investment in your own personal wisdom. You are the expert on your life.

Throughout your life, it is normal to have ups and downs. ​ Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or struggling with relationships or life changes - there is always a path forward to grow and heal. Therapy can help you work through anything you are dealing with in life and help you build the tools to manage and heal from whatever you are going through. Having a safe space to express how you're feeling can help when you're feeling isolated and alone.

I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, and depression. As a solution-focused therapist, I utilize evidence-based techniques to help you identify and overcome negative thought patterns. If you're struggling to find a sense of well-being in your life, you may feel chronically unwell, and disconnected from your core sense of self. You might find yourself relying on unfulfilling coping strategies, or caught in patterns that lead you back to the same point, again and again.
