A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

Gabriel Roy-Wright, MC, CCC

My clients have described me as calm, steady, clear,  confident, and thoughtful. I've been told that I can ask difficult and engaging questions that get to the root of the issue you are struggling with. I value being straightforward and providing my clients with the tools to achieve the relief they are seeking.

I'm curious about everyone's unique experiences and tend to take a pragmatic approach to demystify therapy.

I value humour and taking things in stride so we may end up laughing together.

You are unique, and I tailor my approach to fit what works best for you. I strive to create a supportive, engaged space where you can explore your challenges while also guiding you toward their root causes. I’m actively committed to the process with you, always ensuring we move at a pace that feels right. My approach is comprehensive—I help you uncover deeper patterns in your life while also providing practical, actionable tools you can use every day.

Counselling is an investment of your time, energy, and resources, and you deserve to see meaningful progress. That’s why I regularly check in with you for feedback, ensuring our work aligns with your goals. If something isn’t working, we’ll adjust together to keep you on track toward the outcomes you want.

I'm dedicated and passionate about providing couples counselling with Gottman Method Couples Therapy & Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).  I aim to help struggling couples create better communication, understanding, and connection. I honour confidentiality, openness, connection, and engagement. 

 

I strive to live the values I present and recommend to clients. That's why I use the same tools to strengthen my own relationship with my wife of 15 years. I also look forward to sharing the same values with my daughter as she ages.

In the spirit of openness I want to let clients know that my wife, Amanda Chay, and I own and run Kootenay Counselling, The Natural Path Clinic, and Achillea & Co Supplements together. ​

Understanding my credentials: Therapy is unregulated in BC. However, I voluntarily submit to governance by a professional association. As a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association I follow their ethical guidelines on delivering services to clients and running a practice.
