About Dave

A Compassionate Guide on Your Journey

Hi, I'm Dave Dyck — a counsellor, listener, and your partner in rediscovering who you are beneath life's pressures and pain. I hold a Master of Counselling (MC) and am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), registered with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).

I have a particular passion for working with men — a group that is often underserved in mental health. Many men find it hard to ask for help, and I get it. My approach is direct, practical, and judgment-free. I work with men, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the quiet but persistent feeling that something is missing. I also specialize in emotional regulation and counselling support for individuals recovering from concussions following motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) — with ICBC direct billing available.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I draw from evidence-based modalities including CBT, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches — always following your lead and honouring your unique story.

What I Offer

Services & Pricing

Each session is a step toward understanding yourself more deeply. All services are offered in-person and virtually.

Anxiety & Stress

Anxiety is one of the most common — and most treatable — challenges people face. I provide practical, evidence-based tools to quiet the noise, manage worry, and build calm that lasts in your real, everyday life.

$150 / session 50 min

Men's Counselling

As a male counsellor, I understand the unique pressures men face — and the barriers that make it hard to ask for help. This is a direct, practical, judgment-free space built specifically for men ready to do the work.

$150 / session 50 min
🧩
Autism Funding

I am registered as an approved service provider for autism funding. Families can access counselling support directly through their child's funding — I handle the details so you can focus on what matters.

Concussion & MVA Support

Recovering from a concussion after a motor vehicle accident affects far more than the body. I provide specialized emotional regulation techniques and counselling support for post-concussion recovery — and as a registered ICBC provider, I can direct bill your claim directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is everything I share confidential?
+
Absolutely. Everything discussed in our sessions is strictly confidential. The only exceptions are situations involving imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, as required by law — and I'll always explain these limits clearly before we begin.
How do I know if counselling is right for me?
+
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply want a space to think things through with support — counselling can help. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit. A free 20-minute consultation is a great no-pressure way to find out if we're a good fit.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
+
Yes! I offer secure, confidential video sessions for clients anywhere in BC. Virtual sessions are just as effective as in-person and give you the comfort of being in your own space. All you need is a private spot and a stable internet connection.
How many sessions will I need?
+
This varies for everyone. Some people find clarity in just a few sessions; others prefer ongoing monthly support. We'll check in regularly and you always decide the pace. There's no minimum commitment — just show up when it feels right.
Is counselling covered by insurance?
+
Yes — and I make it as easy as possible. I am a registered ICBC service provider and can direct bill for motor vehicle accident (MVA) claims, including concussion support. I also offer direct billing to many extended health insurance providers, so there's often no upfront cost. Additionally, I accept autism funding as an approved service provider. Contact me before your first session and I'll confirm your coverage and handle the paperwork.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
+
Life happens — I get it. I ask for at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations (under 24 hours) may be subject to a partial fee. Just reach out and we'll find a time that works for you.
