ABOUT ME.
My name is Don Bennett and I have been working in education for the past 30 years, with 19 years of that time spent as a high school counsellor working for the North Okanagan School District. I have a Bachelor and Master’s degree in Education with coursework and training in Counselling and Special Education.
I have been counselling and supporting youth and families throughout the 30 years and am eager to support youth, parents, and individuals of all ages outside of the school setting. I recognize that reaching out for support can be hard; but staying silent and suffering without the support is also very difficult.
I aim to provide a very caring and safe space to talk openly about the ways to get you back to the life that you envisioned for yourself or for your loved ones. Please contact me for a free consultation and we can talk about what success can look like for you.
I look forward to meeting you soon.
Supporting Youth and Families in the North Okanagan-Shuswap for over 25 years.
“IF THE ONLY TOOL YOU HAVE IS A HAMMER, YOU TEND TO SEE EVERY PROBLEM AS A NAIL”
Abraham Maslow
Not having the right ‘tools’ is frustrating, and always reaching for the same tool in every situation is even worse. An over-reliance on the same tool rarely leads to solutions and can even be destructive. When I meet with clients, I listen carefully to their challenges and the use of the tools that they have and use. Often these limited coping mechanisms aren’t getting the result that they want.
I feel confident in being able to provide you with additional tools and strategies to help get the results that you are expecting and hoping for. I help individuals to identify factors that are maintaining their difficulties and to develop new ways of responding to them. With these newly learned skills, you will feel well-equipped with multiple tools to reach for when life’s challenges appear.
You’ll stop swinging that same old hammer and notice that not all problems are nails.
NOW ACCEPTING
NEW CLIENTS
First steps… contact me today to see how I can support you. Fill out the contact form and I will reply back as soon as I can; usually within 24 hours.
I will set up a time to have a phone call or video call if you prefer, where we can spend some time talking about your goals for counselling and how I can help you reach those goals.
After this 20 minute discussion you can decide if booking an appointment is the right next step for you, no pressure and no obligation; I want you to book an appointment only if it feels right for you.
Never heard of him! He’s probably pretty good. Maybe I should see if he can help with the issues with my family, but I doubt even he could fix that.
WHO I HELP
You are the ideal client.
You are a youth or adult and are looking for some useful tools to help you navigate the challenges of our modern world.
You would be open to talking about your struggles and challenges in a safe, non-judgmental, and trusting setting.
You would have the goal of finding some new perspectives, tools, and strategies to make life a little easier; and get back to the life you envisioned for yourself.
