Dominic Brennan, Msc, MA, R.C.C, (Member of British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors)

I support adult men and women navigate through issues of anxiety, anger management, burnout, stress, work and personal relationship issues, and professional challenges from career moves to senior executive situations.

Having a certified professional counsellor and coach with my experienced background in mental health and business, can guide you towards your desired outcomes, where you can expect a supportive and empowering counselling and coaching experience that is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

My modalities include solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, brief therapy, and professional coaching in a holistic approach. While I am interested in how your past experiences have shaped you, I do not dwell on them unless necessary. Instead, I work on present behaviors and issues to help you lead a more fulfilling life. My approach is grounded in empathy, understanding, and effective communication.

With experience living and working across Europe, Asia, and North America, I progressed my career to a senior executive role in two Fortune 500 companies before deciding to launch my second career as a Mental Health Counsellor and Professional Coach.

In addition to obtaining my credential as a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I am pursuing a professional coaching credential through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), which will bring additional perspectives and knowledge to my practice.

With two master’s level educations in clinical counselling and business, senior roles in multi-national businesses, successful career transitioning, as well as raising two adult children, I have managed extensive career and life challenges.

As a bilingual counsellor fluent in both English and Chinese, I offer a unique perspective that bridges Western and Chinese cultures to help clients discover their unique identities. My counselling approach is comprehensive, utilizing post-modern narrative theory to view clients as whole individuals, rather than pathologizing or labeling them.

I work with clients aged 18 and up, including seniors, and specialize in relationship counselling, career-related issues, and couple counselling. Apart from dealing general mental health issues my expertise also extends to working with parents struggling with their teen children, professionals facing life and work balance challenges, and couples of all age groups.

With my deep understanding of both cultures, I am able to help cross-racial clients navigate cultural differences and work through conflicts. My aim is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and supported, so that they can overcome their challenges and achieve their goals.

Overall, I strive to be an empathetic and effective counsellor who helps clients develop the skills and resources they need to live happy, fulfilling lives.
