Brier Finn, Counselling Therapist

Brier is completing his Masters in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. Prior to this he completed his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of Guelph.

Brier respects the strength it can take to reach out for counselling. He is an accepting, open-minded person who is proud of his ability to understand the point of view of others and to communicate that understanding without judgement. Brier believes that through confidential collaboration and mutual respect, a safe relationship can be built in which you feel free to explore your emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and experiences.

Brier’s time as a crisis line volunteer has motivated him to work from a client-centered perspective. This means he believes that by being genuine and by demonstrating accurate understanding and unconditional positive regard for the people he works with, their innate potential for growth and change can be maximized. It also means that you are in control of the direction of a session. If it is relevant to you, he also has tools from other theories of therapy that can help you identify your strengths and resources, come up with solutions, and/or challenge old beliefs that no longer serve you while developing more helpful ones.
