Coaching

Jeff Fisher has been a valued colleague for nearly 20 years. We have worked together for many years with complex and challenging clients. Jeff is especially skilled at connecting with his clients in a compassionate way, and from a professional place. He has a unique and effective approach to therapy and he is able to help clients address difficult life challenges in a sensitive and caring way. He always remains current on state of the art therapeutic approaches but appreciates the fact that what is most important is being present for his clients. He is a very supportive co-worker and a real team player.

Jeff’s experience as a counsellor in chronic pain rehabilitation makes him both an empathetic listener and a facilitator of life change. He is pragmatic and effective in dealing with complex issues of disability, substance abuse, depression and the like. I am confident working with him.

Thanks so much for helping me understand the power of coaching. I have to say that this came along exactly when I needed it. Creating a vision and helping me get a true sense of my strengths and my values, made me realize that I had no excuse to sit with some of my fears. I have accomplished so much more in the past 3 months than I ever would have done on my own. Thanks!!

Jeff, I feel like I’m on the right path now. Despite the fact that my plan was brewing somewhere in my mind, it was the work with you that helped me formulate a plan and start the work. For that, I thank you.

* I do not ever request testimonials from clients. Any testimonial from a client, that appears on this site, was provided spontaneously at some point in the latter stages of the counselling process.

Note: The following excerpt from the B.C. Association of Clinical Counsellors Code of Ethics explains why this can be an issue.

“Registered Clinical Counsellors who use testimonials do not solicit them from clients or other persons who, because of their particular circumstances, may be vulnerable to undue influence.”
