Eric Addleman

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor located on Vancouver Island who provides telephone and video counselling services for individuals and couples.  I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, interpersonal issues, life transitions, identity issues, men’s issues and self-esteem struggles. I also work with couples needing support in their relationship to strengthen communication, manage tension and reconnect.  I believe in utilizing client strengths to empower individuals in overcoming their individual and relationship challenges.

I operate from an integrated, humanistic approach and utilizes relational life therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy and emotion focused therapy that are tailored to address client needs. I am warm, engaging, empathetic and relatable. I understand that life is nuanced and am committed to working with people to achieve their therapeutic goals.

I have a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology, am a member of the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and have undertaken extensive training in crisis management. I have completed post-graduate certification in Emotion Focused Individual Therapy (Levels 1 and 2), Gottman Method (Level 1) and am currently undertaking a 2 year mentorship program in Relational Life Therapy. Outside of work, I enjoys hiking with my dogs and spending time with my wife and daughter.
