Hey there.

My name is Conan Botma. I am a specialist wellness counsellor registered with the Association for Supportive Counsellors and Holistic Practitioners (ASCHP).

​

Throughout my life and experiences, I have witnessed the struggles of family and friends dealing with various forms of addiction, including substance abuse, sex, gaming, social media, or food.

​

Addiction can affect us in all aspects of life such as our work, relationships, future, cognitive ability and self-esteem. I am extremely passionate about working with clients who have addiction-related issues whether it's them who are addicted, or a family member or friend.

​

My therapeutic approach is Person-Centered, incorporating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques. I believe in getting to know you and understanding your perspective. Together, we will work towards your goals, recognizing that these goals will be different from person to person based on individual strengths, worldviews, and experiences.

​

For those struggling with addiction, I understand that the journey to recovery takes time and that setbacks can occur along the way. My aim is to empower you by focusing on your strengths and abilities, while helping and guiding you along this path. When you feel like you have succeeded in reaching a goal or milestone, to me that means that we have worked together effectively.

​

If you can relate to this and are interested in starting your journey, I look forward to the opportunity to meet and work with you.
