Are you looking for a deeper understanding of what drives you? Do you notice repeating patterns that are unsatisfactory? Do you desire more? Do you feel you deserve better?
People who come to me often have insight however are frustrated by repeated patterns. I offer a non-judgemental exploratory environment where your experiences are valued. After I have understood your challenge and you feel comfortable, I may propose a slightly different perspective. A slightly different approach can often be liberating, and new behaviours more easily undertaken. The payoff is feeling lighter, happier, and more at peace with yourself.
For those unsure of the impact their alcohol or drug use has been having on their lives and what steps they can take to limit or cease the damage, I can assist in identifying and understanding the desires, support in providing alternative choices, and be by your side as you move through dependence to freedom of choice.
I also help those who are facing either their first experience of mental illness and are unsure of what’s happening or are perhaps experiencing a return to their symptoms. This can be frightening. Let me be your guide and coach through your process of learning and growing.

“Challenges stimulate strengths.”
Lee Pulos, PhD
Let me help you uncover your unique and powerful strengths.
To understand, we must be heard.
To be heard,
we may need additional help to fully express ourselves.
Once we can fully express our perceptions,
we can share them with those who are important to us.
We are then able to make positive changes in
behaviour, understanding, belonging, and respect.
Testimonials
I have had the pleasure of working with Jayeson over the last few years. Jayeson is an incredibly honest, experienced, and intuitive counsellor. His deep understanding of human behaviour and emotions coupled with his compassionate approach, makes every session insightful. He skillfully guides me through challenges and provides practical tools for personal growth. I went to a few counsellors before finding Jayeson and have never felt this enlightened and empowered. I wholeheartedly recommend Jayeson to anyone seeking genuine support and guidance on their
journey towards self-discovery and mental well-being.

Thank you so much for the guidance and info. I felt so relieved and fortunate to have been able to talk to such a knowledgeable person. You really helped to put everything in perspective in language I could understand. I’m gonna be okay, I just know it! I will reach out to the options for treatment you gave me.

I want to thank you for your advice and understanding of how a person copes with loss. It took me a while but I finally felt comfortable discussing my feelings with you. I struggled with the “grown men don’t cry, suck it up buttercup” stigma. I also appreciated your understanding why I self-isolated and you helped me understand why I was not initially willing to talk to a counsellor. The extra effort you took to advocate on my behalf was very generous and thankfully successful. I am again thankful for having had you as my counsellor through this difficult time. I hope you are able to help many more souls with their healing process.

Jayeson really listens and asked questions to help me better understand what brought me to talk with a counsellor. The issue got really clear for me. With further discussion, very practical steps are what helped. Highly recommended.
Jayeson was a great counsellor and we were happy to receive his help again. [couples counselling]
Jayeson helped to bring me out of a space that was very dark and bleak. His compassion and honesty was the key. Thank you.
I obtained counselling relating to a marital issue. Jayeson was most attentive and helpful.
