Services
At Between The Tides Counselling I offer individual and couples counselling in a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, reflect, and be heard. Together, we’ll explore what’s been feeling difficult, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and work toward greater clarity, connection, and emotional well-being.
Sessions are available in-person and online for clients in Surrey and across British Columbia.
Individual Counselling
In one-on-one sessions, we’ll work together to uncover the core of what’s feeling difficult. This individualized process is designed to gently get to the heart of the matter and help you gain clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.
Couples Counselling
Helping you and your partner rediscover connection, intimacy, and build a thriving relationship, even through life’s inevitable transitions, challenges, and stresses. Together, we’ll improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional closeness.
About Me
I am Justin, a thoughtful, down-to-earth therapist who creates a deeply respectful space for adult individuals and couples to feel safe, seen, and supported.
I work with people navigating relationship challenges, emotional disconnection, conflict, and communication breakdowns. Whether you’re trying to rebuild trust, process a breakup, or strengthen emotional intimacy, I offer a steady presence and practical guidance to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
In addition to general mental health and relationship work, I bring affirming support to those exploring sex-positive, kink-allied, and non-monogamous lifestyles. I welcome clients of all gender and sexual identities and approach my work with curiosity, care, and cultural sensitivity.
Drawing from Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment theory, mindfulness, and client-centered care, I support each person’s unique goals and growth. I believe that healing happens in connection — and that when we feel safe enough to be honest, real transformation can begin.
“The Curious paradox is that when is accept myself just as I am, then I can change”
― Carl R. Rogers, On Becoming a Person: A Therapist’s View of Psychotherapy
How I value You
I value your autonomy, your voice, and your capacity for growth. Counselling is a collaborative process, and I approach our work together with curiosity, compassion, and respect. You set the direction, and I support you in finding clarity, insight, and meaningful change.
Inclusive
Every person — and every part of them — is welcome here. I’m committed to creating a safe, affirming space for all identities, especially if that’s something you’ve been denied in the past.
Anti-Oppressive
I acknowledge the systemic injustices that impact your life and hold space to name and challenge them — both in therapy and out in the world.
Curiosity
I believe open communication and curiosity are essential for growth. I’ll stay open to feedback and help foster the kind of curiosity that leads to deeper understanding.
Connection
My practice, and values, offers you a secure space to be vulnerable, build connection, and practice open, honest communication
Growth
I believe in the power of continuous growth — for both my clients and myself. I stay committed to learning through ongoing training and education with more evidence based mental health approaches
