About candidate

About you
I am a PhD educated counsellor/therapist/coach who has gained over 25 years experience with a broad range of clients and patients in a range of facilities, including in-patient hospital, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, community mental health/substance misuse programs, virtual EFAP programming. My Canadian certification (CCC) allows me to practice independently in all Canadian provinces; I have current professional liability insurance. I am also a Registered Clinical and Counselling Psychologist in the United Kingdom (HCPC) and do some remote counselling work with clients in that region.
What are you looking for in a new role?
I am looking to increase the range and diversity of client contacts and find that a solution-focused, coaching approach can offer a refreshing shift in perspective, energy and outcomes for clients amenable to this modaility. I am currently relocating from Alberta to North Vancouver, BC, and would like to add additional hours/numbers to my current contracting work.
What you are interested in working with us?
As above, I am interested in establishing a new/additional professional network represented by your company and the modailty of mental health coaching. I was not able to locate much detailed information about your company and coaching opportunites, so welcome the chance to discuss this further with you.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
Typically I find angry and resistant client the most challenging to deal with and this usually requires a realistic view of what can be accomplished in such a meeting, i.e., usually providing space and validation to the client, with an emphasis on 'presence' and active listening allows one to push through such challenging clinical spaces.

Hello Naukri Mitra Coaching, As mentioned above, I do not have many details of what you are offering in this professional role and within your company/network, so I look forward to gaining this information. I have extensive mental health experience across a range of client needs, diagnoses and objectives and to date my approach has emphasized counselling and psychotherapy, however, solution-focused coaching has consistently become more of a client expectation and apparently more relevant to the types of therapeutic experiences that are supported by virutal platforms and our society at large. I am interested in exploring how my skills and background may be of assistance to your clients and your program objectives, while advancing my engagement with new and diverse clients and their needs. Thank-you, David A Walters, PhD, CCC
