About Joshua
Hello! I’m Joshua—a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC# 11243620), a member of ACTA, and the founder of Arose Counselling. I hold a Master of Counselling and bring over 25 years of experience supporting individuals throughout Western Canada.
My background includes extensive work as a Pastor in church settings, alongside my work in the counselling field. My focus is on supporting individuals navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I believe that each person carries within them a deep understanding of who they are—their fears, doubts, and insecurities, but also their strengths, resilience, and capacity for change. My goal is to help you reconnect with that inner knowledge and begin your journey toward healing and personal growth.
When you book a session with me, you will meet someone who is laid-back and easygoing, but more importantly, someone who has a genuine desire to hear your story and work with you to gain a greater understanding of who you are.
What a session looks like?
Currently, my sessions are all online. Once you contact us to book a session, we will book a time, and you will receive a link to a video call. At the session time, click on the link, and you will be let into the session. I will be in a quiet and confidential office where communication is only between all the participants. We will begin the session by going over the paperwork and talking about the consent forms. Once the paperwork is finished, we will begin the official session together. Each session is 50 minutes, and we will work together to craft a session that works for you and your comfort level.
As we work through the session, I will take notes, ask follow-up questions, and check in with you throughout to ensure that we are tracking with one another that you feel comfortable in the session and that you feel heard and understood.
Near the end of the session, we will check in with one another. Afterwards, we will book another session, and we will begin a journey toward a new emerging story in your life.
