Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling / Psychotherapy

Gabriel Ballestero

I began work as a Clinical Counselor in 2010, focusing on men's issues, facilitating mens' groups and later moved on to couples and youth work. 

My approach has always been person centered and taylored to each individual, valuing every person's own hability to heal and develop. 

My focus is on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Hypnosis, NLP, Drama Therapies and Contextual Therapies such as Functional Analysis, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Functional Analysis and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). 

I hold a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling (MPCC) designation through the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA).

Spanish speaking clinical counselling and psychotherapy services also offered in Vancouver, BC and Canada

Let's talk.

Reaching out is an important first step towards meaningful change.
Talking about how you feel is a way of facing the challenge and owning your responsibility in your own growth.
Select your desired date and time for a conversation, with the following option.
"A very professional service. I was given valuable skills to manage my emotions, skills I will keep for life."
