About Me
Don S Hunter, MHSc, RSW, CYC, C.Hyp, NLP, EFT
Clinical Supervisor & Consultant

I have over fifty years of experience in counselling children, youth and adults. I have worked in a variety of hospitals, community mental health clinics and in my private practice, providing individual, group, couples and family therapy.

I have been educated and trained in person-centred, cognitive, narrative, compassion-focused, emotion-focused therapies. In addition, I completed training in hypnosis, EMDR (eye-movement desensitization & reprocessing), NLP (neurolinguistic programming practitioner) and EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy). This broad range of therapies allowed me to understand many of the theories and modalities that are 'best practices', which add significantly to what I have to offer those I supervise.  

I have provided clinical supervision to counselling staff in hospital and private clinics and this is becoming the focus of my practice.

I am a son, a brother, a husband, a father and grandfather of four. I have learned – and continue to learn a great deal from all of these important relationships in my life.

I have lived with chronic pain since 1981 – I have also learned much from that relationship.
