Mark Watts Counselling Services

A Few Words About Me

I initially started providing counselling services while pursuing my degree in Psychology from the University of Victoria. I worked as a lay counsellor and later as a street outreach worker. I underwent three years of rigorous experiential counsellor training at the ClearMind International Institute and have received advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I am also a Board  Certified Counselling Hypnotherapist. I have led groups focused on anger management and mindfulness meditation.

Additionally, I have previously volunteered as a lay counsellor, crisis counsellor, big brother, and suicide response outreach worker. I work with individuals and couples, facilitate group counselling sessions and mentor entrepreneurs. I have also invested significant effort into personal growth, as I believe in healing oneself before healing others. 

My services can be covered by private extended insurance programs. If insurance coverage is important, do check with your provider to confirm that you have coverage for a Master Therapeutic Counsellor (MTC).

I have been seeing Mark for hypnotherapy and counseling sessions for some time now. I was dealing with a lifeful of loss and trauma issues -which culminated in almost debilitating anxiety. I experienced an immediate connection with Mark, and found him to be caring, wise, honest and forthright. I have had an amazing turnabout. My anxiety is almost completely controlled. I feel at peace with most of the issues that have haunted me, and controlled my life for 65 years. I highly recommend Mark. I suggest that you try a complimentary session with him, and discover what is possible.
