About Brent
Real conversations. Genuine support. Meaningful change.
Hi, I'm Brent, the founder of Path to Wholeness, a counselling practice based in Burnaby, British Columbia.
I believe counselling starts with feeling heard and understood. Life can be complicated, and sometimes we find ourselves struggling with emotions, relationships, past experiences, or patterns that are difficult to change on our own.
You might know exactly what you're struggling with, or you might just feel that something isn't right. Either way, you don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
My Approach
My counselling style is calm, practical, person-centred, and trauma-informed. I offer a supportive space where you can speak openly without feeling judged, rushed, or pressured.
I take the time to understand what you're going through and how it's affecting you. Together, we can explore difficult emotions, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and find practical ways to move forward.
I'm not here to tell you how to live your life. I'll listen, ask questions, offer different perspectives, and sometimes gently challenge you when it may be helpful. Ultimately, you decide what we work on and the pace we move at.
My Background
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years working in film and television sound. My interest in people, personal growth, and mental health eventually led me in a different direction.
I earned my Professional Counsellor Diploma and Life Skills Coach Certificate through Rhodes Wellness College.
Alongside my private practice, I work in community mental health, supporting people experiencing complex mental health challenges and difficult life circumstances. This experience has strengthened my belief that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and understanding.
Moving Forward
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship difficulties, emotional disconnection, and other mental health challenges.
I offer virtual counselling, Walk & Talk sessions, and in-home counselling where appropriate.
Meaningful change doesn't always happen all at once. Sometimes it begins with a conversation, a different perspective, or one small step forward.
You don't need to have all the answers. We can start with where you are.
