My name is Bruce Reimer MA RCC and I provide services as a Registered Clinical Counsellor through the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I have a Masters in Family and Child Counselling Psychology 1992, MBBS, California.   Through my graduate studies and ongoing professional training, I focus my therapeutic practice from a Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioural, and Narrative Therapy perspective.

I enjoy the process of collaborating with individuals to genuinely hear their stories and discover each person’s own unique understanding of who they are. My professional counselling approach holds within it the framework and belief that the path towards change and renewal comes from within one’s own experience and abilities.  The purpose of counselling  helps to nurture and reveal these inner strengths and apply them to your past and present life events.

Through my 30 years of counselling experience, I have specialized in the areas of family systems work, parent-child challenges, childhood anxiety, difficult behavioural expressions, childhood developmental needs, children with a diagnosis of Autism, and general neurodiversity. I works to understand the unique skills and abilities that each person possesses. The process of Counselling and Consulting helps to uncover these abilities for a child and parent, and enables a much higher quality of life both for the child, their family, and support networks.

I provide counselling for adults who find themselves challenged by events or circumstances that life brings their way. This may include grief work, struggles with anxiety or shame, interpersonal challenges with family or other work/community members. Often having a deeper understanding of one’s own life journey, through one’s childhood and into the present, gives new strength and greater peace for the challenges and joys ahead.

The counselling work can be a short term process of 1 to 6 sessions for solving issues or concerns in the Brief Therapy model. Alternately I also provide opportunity for longer term work with individuals who would like to explore the roots of patterns in their lives or to move through difficult life challenges that are limiting their coping strengths.
