Welcome to Andrei Peterson's Counselling Corner
Here you will find space where your experiences, strengths, and wisdom are at the heart of our work together. I believe you are the expert of your life, equipped with unique knowledge that can guide you toward decisions that truly serve you. My role is to support you in reconnecting with your inner strengths, aligning your rational and emotional self by exploring your life narrative, self-talk, and unidentified emotions. I provide a framework that helps you piece together your insights, allowing for a unified perspective that brings clarity, and supports meaningful and wise decision-making. My counselling style is rooted in Rogerian therapy where unconditional positive regard takes center stage to honor your self-knowledge and power. We will work together to uncover the clarity and confidence needed to move forward with purpose and balance. This is your opportunity to learn coping skills, heal, grow, and thrive.
ABOUT
Communication Honesty Care Acceptance
I bring a wealth of life experience and an open-minded approach to my counselling practice. I hold an Associate Degree in Arts, majoring in Psychology, from Douglas College and a Diploma in Counseling from Stenberg College. I am also a registered member of the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists.
Over the years, I’ve taken on many roles in my personal life and career, deepening my understanding of life’s challenges. I speak English and Romanian, and my blended Romanian Canadian background informs my perspective. Some key roles that have shaped me include being a dad, husband, divorcee, son, student, business owner, and a red seal tradesman.
My approach is rooted in Rogerian therapy’s unconditional positive regard, honoring and respecting your experiences. Together, we’ll explore your life stories to deepen your understanding and integrate your thoughts and feelings into a cohesive framework of self-knowledge. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, with the wisdom to make the best decisions. In our sessions, I use techniques tailored to your needs, helping you connect with your strengths and find balance, so you can make thoughtful, emotionally informed decisions to overcome challenges.
SERVICES
Individual Counselling
A safe, compassionate space where you are truly seen, heard, and valued for who you are. This is your opportunity to unwind and step away from the roles or masks you may carry in daily life. Here, there are no expectations—only room for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a space holding unconditional positive regard.
Couples Counselling
Are you wondering if marriage or having a child will change your relationship? Over time, relationship and family dynamics can shift in unexpected ways. Couples counselling provides a supportive space to explore these changes and navigate transitions. We explore how to establish trust and mutual-understanding by focusing on improving communication so both partners feel heard and valued. We will work together to help your relationship grow and flourish by exploring experiences that deepen your connection, build trust, and strengthen love and commitment, moving beyond the initial excitement of a new relationship.
Youth Counselling
I believe kids, teens, and young adults face immense pressures from social media, information overload, demands from peers, schools, and parents. This can lead to anxiety, depression, and a sense of being lost.
​
In youth counselling, we provide a space for mindfulness and self-reflection, helping teens and young adults slow down and explore their experiences, thoughts and emotions. Our sessions focus on uncovering your strengths, building resilience, and guiding you to thrive in today’s world.
Corporate Counselling
​In today’s fast-paced work environment, employees face challenges that impact work-life balance, motivation, and well-being. Our corporate counseling offers group and individual sessions to help employees manage stress, shifting dynamics, and office relationships. These sessions provide support, build resilience, and improve communication, fostering a healthier and more productive workplace.
Affordable Therapy Options
Everyone deserves access to compassionate, supportive therapy, regardless of financial circumstances. I offer affordable options to ensure you receive the care you need. These include two limited 3-month biweekly pro-bono spots for those who qualify, and sliding-scale payment option spots tailored to your financial situation.
​Please don’t hesitate to reach out and inquire about these options. Together, we can find a plan that works for you. Your mental well-being is important, and I am here to help.
