Welcome to the Practice Dan Beauvais

I’d like to formally welcome a new associate to my practice, Dan Beauvais. Read Dan’s introduction letter below. He is also the guest writer this month.

Dan BeauvaisDan Beauvais has been providing counselling services in various settings for 30 years.  He has worked in a broad spectrum of social service sectors providing counselling to individuals, couples and families.  The depth of Dan’s clinical skills comes out of his extensive experience supporting people over many landscapes, through a variety of human experiences.  Mapping Dan’s professional work through Family Service Agencies to Acute Medical and Rehab Settings has contributed to his extensive practiced insights and intuitive sensibility.

Academically, Dan holds a Master’s Degree in Social Work with a specialization in Individual and Family Counselling from Dalhousie University.  He is trained in normal development and abnormal psychology, counselling and personality theories, group therapy and practice, family therapy theory and practice, research design and ethics.  Dan is a member in good standing with the BC College of Social Workers and is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors.

Dan’s counselling practice utilizes Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Non Violent Communication.  Narrative work “seeks to be a respectful, non-blaming approach to counselling and community work, which centres people as the experts in their own lives. It views problems as separate from people and assumes people have many skills, competencies, beliefs, values, commitments and abilities that will assist them to reduce the influence of problems in their lives.”

Individuals, couples and families can find themselves entrenched in problem saturated stories and lose sight of those preferred ways of being that reflect their authentic voice.  Narrative work helps people reconnect to those forgotten ideals and principles they once held dear.  Dan works in a collaborative non-judgmental manner to help determine treatment goals to address many of the same struggles that we all face from time-to-time including relationship strain, depression, anxiety, identity, and personal transformation, addiction, parent-teen conflict, grief and loss, and others.

On a personal level, Dan has lived and worked on the North Shore for most of his adult life.  He has been married for 25 years and has two lovely daughters.  He is passionate about reading philosophy and how it informs psychotherapeutic practice.  He enjoys tennis, a sport that both his daughters compete at on a National level.  He and his partner center their life on family, travel and everyday activities that contribute to learning and happiness.

Dan enjoys working collaboratively with other community professionals, is available for consultations and can prepare clinical reports when required.  Do not hesitate to contact Dan to make referrals for counselling services when needed.

Mastery Practice Tool

If I feel funky, I know that I have closed down in some way. I probably reacted to one of my thoughts, or to what someone was saying. I actually ask or direct my heart energy to open again by saying this out loud: "My heart is open in the front and the back, and my mind in one with my heart. My heart is connected to the highest part of me." I imagine something I love - often swimming in the ocean - and I savour the love of it so I can feel my heart open again. I have turned my focus to it, and directed my heart energy to open. I do this before I begin an activity, or see anyone that for some reason feel I may be reactive towards. A tip: I have been known to do it in the bathroom when I am taking a break from dynamics, and I come out feeling more open and wiser. This works! The bathroom is a great place to bring yourself back into balance!!

Testimonial

Bev's Laughing and Breathing Belly Workshop for Children was one of the best I have attended. She has a gifted ability to gently connect with children and teach and share with them her techniques of belly breathing, rooting, mind vacations and laughter. These techniques soothe and calm them whenever they feel overwhelmed or anxious - be at school, home or before bed time. Whether you have an overwhelmed pre-schooler or a test-anxious pre-teen, Bev's approach works! I love that she gave parents the tools to model and share these fundamentals of meditation with their children. I would encourage families to take her course...your children will thank you and you will benefit from ways to keep yourself calm and allow wisdom in.
