Headshot of Sean Ferkul from waist up smiling in a business casual top.

Sean has a deep understanding of the difficulties that people face with mental health and substance use. He’ll meet you where you’re at and help you create a plan to improve your quality of life.

Sean has experience supporting people with substance use, depression, anxiety, relationships, and anger management. He specializes in supporting men who struggle with gender, self-image, or toxic masculinity. Men are often overlooked in counselling spaces: Sean creates a therapeutic space that is safe, client-centered, and ever-evolving to fit your needs.

Sean works from a strength-based perspective and uses modalities such as cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and rational emotive behaviour therapy. He will support you as you face your challenges, reminding you that you matter and that you’re not alone as you work through life’s hurdles.
