About Peter

I offer a compassionate lens with an emotion focused approach when working with individuals, couples, and groups.
​
My passion is drawn from holistic psychology, traditional therapies, and nature based practices to offer empathetic, authentic, meaning driven counselling. I will work with you at your pace and level. I specialize in integrative counselling, emotional intelligence and work around authenticity.
My formal training is in holistic counselling while additionally completing a two year mentorship with Robert Masters, PhD in intuitive integral psychotherapy. My other areas of study include attachment, mindfulness, relationship, and somatic work (with a Hakomi specialty).
​
My journey to becoming a counsellor began in my early thirties. I first encountered therapy as a client for many years, working on personal issues around family, individuation, spirituality, anxiety and depression.
​
Here I discovered the importance and necessity of exploring one's inner world as a catalyst to unlocking creativity, passion and freedom within ones life. During this transformative process I felt moved to share the work with others which eventually led me to my studies in Toronto, ON.
​
In 2018 after my practicum I began work as an addictions counsellor and farm program coordinator with men in recovery from addiction and mental health, north of Toronto.
I now reside in Okanagan Falls, BC and continue a private practice, offer men's counselling services at a local mental health resource centre, and work alongside Indigenous communities on food sovereignty projects.
​
My other passions include hiking, contemplative movement practices, swimming in fresh water, and gardening.
