Kel is completing his Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University and is currently in his clinical practicum at Catalyst Counselling Services under the supervision of a registered psychologist.

Kel has extensive experience supporting youth at schools, the recovery of young offenders, as well as facilitating safe, supervised family visits in situations involving intimate partner violence and family discord.

With a bachelor’s degree in abnormal psychology and criminology, Kel approaches counselling from a compassionate, collaborative, and non-judgmental perspective. His professional experiences have reinforced his belief that people are evolving and striving to improve their circumstances.

In counselling, he aims to create a calm therapeutic environment where clients can feel heard, respected and process topics at their own pace.

Kel is particularly interested in supporting youth and adults experiencing anxiety, stress, grief, loss, trauma-related concerns, relationship difficulties, self-worth concerns, and significant life transitions.

He also offers personal insight and research regarding men’s mental health and resilience. Kel believes counselling is a collaborative process that can help clients expand understandings, recognize strengths, develop new ways of coping, and move toward changes that are meaningful to them.
