The Team
Duncan Shields, M.A., RCC
Duncan has had a private counselling practice on the North Shore since 1995 and provides solution-focused and cognitive behavioural therapy. Before establishing his private practice, Duncan held a variety of positions in teaching, research, palliative and cancer care. Duncan’s goal is to help his clients grow, create positive change and to develop realistic strategies to cope more effectively with life’s challenges.
Clients can expect to develop tools that will allow them to find relief from anxiety, panic and depression, to improve self esteem, control nagging self-doubt, adapt to change and loss and to set positive, achievable life goals. He also provides tools to help his clients learn to manage the stress we all experience in today’s fast-paced world. Duncan also provides coaching services for clients with small businesses.
Duncan’s clients are appreciative of his focus on getting results and the tools he provides for every day use. The sessions are fun, informative and progressive. His approach is based on cognitive behavioral counselling which teaches the art of changing thoughts and behavior that are interfering in your ability to cope and have a meaningful productive life.
A Registered Clinical Counsellor, and President of the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, Duncan has a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from Lakehead University (1995) where he also completed a Clinical Internship in Health Psychology. Duncan also has extensive training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution Oriented Therapy and is a published author in the area of health psychology.
