David Van Klei

David is excited to get to know you and your story. He understands that everyone is unique and that counselling is not a one-size-fits-all process. His caring heart and curious brain have led to a study of personality and human behavior which he utilizes to help as many people as possible to function in a healthy manner. His goal as a counsellor is to facilitate the discovery of self and use this insight as a platform to enact meaningful change. He has spent three years working as a counsellor with a focus on trauma recovery.

3. Worldview and Counselling Perspective

David’s worldview is heavily influenced by his relationship with God and his Christian faith.
