Evan Vukets | Registered Clinical Counsellor

Parcours

I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor who believes in understanding what makes people tick, not just what makes them sick. I focus on understanding what drives each client, not just what challenges them. This is especially important in the context of men’s mental health. I strive to create a respectful, supportive space where clients feel seen and empowered. I have worked as a community support worker, crisis line operator, addictions counsellor, trauma therapist, and for a variety of agencies, but I now work solely in private practice as it allows me to meet my clients where they are at. When I am not in the therapist chair, I am a father of two, a woodworker, and a car enthusiast.

In my care, clients can expect a warm, respectful, and collaborative space where authenticity is valued and your story matters.

Whether you are navigating addiction, stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, relationship, or other challenges challenges, you will be met with curiosity, compassion, and a genuine desire to understand. Together, we create a space where you feel truly seen.

Approches thérapeutiques

Voici mes principales approches thérapeutiques, soutenues par une formation spécialisée et une expérience clinique approfondie.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to emotional distress. By increasing self-awareness and developing practical strategies, CBT empowers individuals to manage anxiety, depression, and stress more effectively, fostering lasting change and improved well-being.

Adlerian Therapy

Adlerian therapy focuses on understanding the unique motivations, values, and goals that guide a person's life. It emphasizes belonging, self-worth, and the impact of early experiences on current patterns. Through encouragement, insight, and a collaborative relationship, clients can gain clarity, build resilience, and move toward a more purposeful and connected life.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) helps clients manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping strategies. It blends acceptance and change, teaching skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT offers structure and support for those seeking balance, stability, and greater control in their daily lives.

FAQ

What can I expect from counselling?

During our sessions, you can expect the counselling process to be focused towards improving your quality of life. Generally this looks like providing you with greater self-awareness, ability to manage thoughts more effectively, confidence, and a much stronger ability to communicate. To do this, we will start by figuring out who you are and what’s important to you. From here, you and I will create a plan together that we can follow through on throughout our sessions.

Are counselling sessions covered under benefits?

Many extended health benefit plans in British Columbia do cover services provided by a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I recommend checking directly with your insurance provider to confirm your specific coverage, including the amount covered per session and any annual limits. I provide receipts that you can submit for reimbursement.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes, I offer a free 15 minute phone or video consultations This consultation will provide you with the opportunity to get to know me better before beginning counselling. You can ask me questions you might have and get a sense of the work that we will do to meet your counselling goals. The consultation is not a necessity but is offered to give you the opportunity to ask any questions prior to scheduling an appointment.

Is virtual teletherapy just as good as in-person?

he American Psychological Association released an article comparing research on virtual sessions. In a study that included 98,602 participants, it showed that virtual sessions were equally as effective as in person sessions as well as increasing the access to care. It was also found to be particularly effective for clients with depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorders and had higher retention rates than traditional therapy.

What is a Registered Clinical Counsellor?

A Registered Clinical Counsellor or RCC is a professional who has completed an applicable masters-level counselling education, and has achieved registration with an association called the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). There are several necessary requirements that the counsellor needs to meet to become an RCC post-education such as a 6 month practicum with over 100 hours of direct supervision with a clinical supervisor.
