Support from someone who has been on the tools, and in leadership

Topics, and yours

The sessions

For 2 a.m.

Tools in their pocket

Open the toolkit page

Apps that come with the psychoeducation. Guided breathing and grounding, and Dropping the Rope for a stuck thought. After a session, people take the matching app home, so they can practise the very thing they just learned.

A growing library. More tools added over time, each tied to what we teach, and we can tailor them to your workplace.

Check-ins on the website. Private self-assessments a team member can use to quietly track how they are doing and catch a problem early.

And I am glad to work alongside your team, developing tools that fit your context.

Available to your team

Check-ins and screening

Confidential check-ins, built right into the website, so your people can quietly track how they are doing and catch a problem early. Included for your team as part of our working relationship.

What "assessment" means here. Recognized screening tools, AUDIT, DAST, PHQ-9, GAD-7, used for screening and self-reflection, not diagnosis. Anything that needs a formal diagnosis, I refer out. Scope confirmed for BC.

A course, not a one-off session

Multi-unit courses, built to your context

Any subject your people need, built with you and run over weeks or a full semester. Each unit is a short lesson, a practical exercise, and a check-in, so the learning builds and holds. Two examples:

Why your people will talk to me

I have been on the tools, and I have led

Before I counselled, I served in the infantry, built years of business and leadership experience in the trades, and led The Mustard Seed. I have done the hands-on work and carried the weight of leading an organization, so I understand your people and the pressures they carry.

• Canadian Armed Forces veteran; approved to see veterans through VAC (Medavie)
• Business and leadership experience in the trades, in plumbing and condo renovation
• Over 500 hours of public speaking, week after week as a pastor at The Mustard Seed; I know how to hold a hard room
• Master's-level counsellor: CCC, MACP, MDiv, DPC; based on Vancouver Island

Where I fit

I add to what you already have

Most organizations already invest in their people, through benefits, an EAP, or HR programs. I am not here to duplicate that. I add capacity, reach, and depth, and I work alongside what you have built.

• Psychologically safe leadership: helping managers notice early distress and respond well
• Psychological health and safety: working within the National Standard's framework
• Mental health literacy: shared language so people recognize and support a struggling colleague
• Support through change: restructuring, new schedules, and uncertainty

Straightforward pricing

What it costs

Exempt from GST and PST; counselling and mental-health services are tax-exempt. Always happy to discuss flexible options that fit your funding. And if budget is the barrier, part of this can sometimes be grant-funded; helping you find a program and write the application is included, not billed. More on that next.

If funding is the barrier

Grant funding, worth exploring

Cost should not be why your people go without support. For many organizations, part of this work can be covered by a grant. If that could help you, I am glad to find the right program and write the application with you. You would be the applicant; I bring the mental-health piece, as your named delivery partner.
