Andrew Lee

I am Andrew Lee and I have been a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC # 2550) since 2005. I am dedicated to providing tailored services to clients seeking healing, support, skills, and guidance for various relationship difficulties, emotional and behavioural struggles, and life challenges. I empower clients to cultivate a greater sense of meaning, direction, purpose, peace, joy, understanding, and self-compassion.

It is my great passion to provide marriage/couple counselling and enhance intimate and romantic relationships to nurture healthy love, attachment, dynamics, emotion connection, communication, decisions making, and self-identity and self-growth.

I help couples who suffer in:

• Attachment disparity
• Miscommunication
• Arguments and Conflicts
• Disconnection
• Confusion and Uncertainties
• Meaninglessness and Void
• Sadness and Sorrow
• Infidelity
• Intimacy issues
• Hurt
• Fear
• Anger
• Grief
• Betrayal
• Abandonment
• Shame and Guilt
• Disappointment
• Loneliness
• Hopelessness and Helplessness
• Disaffection
• Difficult Choice and Decision Making

I support you and your partner to walk through the challenging and heart-felt journey of your relationship and I coach both of you to transform wounds into resilience, distance into closeness. In order to deepen the process, amplify learning, and refine experiences, I universally provide 1.5 hour marriage/couple counselling sessions. While it may not be easy to carve out that time from your and your partner’s busy lives, it is a precious and valuable investment in your relationship wellness.

Also, I offer counselling to many working professionals from different fields, industries, and environments to help them cope with work stress, manage interpersonal issues, build strengths, explore roles and transitions, and develop future goals and visions.

It is my practice to train clients to learn and practice useful emotion and/or behaviour regulation skills so that they could act more effectively to achieve worthy life experiences.

I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, mindfulness-based approach, metacognitive approach, and other evidence-based therapeutic modalities to customize services to meet each client’s unique needs. I offer in-person and virtual sessions on weekdays and weekends. 

As I am blessed with having DBT therapeutic capacity, I was also a DBT supervisor, trainer, and mentor. In 2017, I completed DBT supervisor and mentor training arranged by the Ministry of Child and Family Development (MCFD). I provided different types of DBT training to mental health and education professionals and developed DBT treatment services in the public system. In addition, I was a supervisor and a team leader for various CYMH mental health programs in Vancovuer.
