My name is David Van Klei and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in Chilliwack, British Columbia. I am here to help you find the support and guidance you need in a safe and comfortable environment. I am experienced in a variety of areas including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and more.

I look forward to getting to know you and your story. I understand that everyone is unique and that counselling is not a one-size-fits-all process. My caring heart and curious brain have led me to study personality and human behavior which I utilize to help my clients to function in a healthy manner. My studies have led me to the belief that life is simultaneously complex and simple. I utilize this belief to engage in practical solutions to deep, complex problems. Before I was a counsellor I worked for the better part of a decade as an accountant. My time as an accountant has taught me to be analytical and skeptical at times. This analytical mindset benefits me greatly as I comb through new research and find ways to apply scientific findings in counselling. I am a strong believer in evidence-based practices.

I believe that the majority of people who seek counselling are looking to feel heard and understood, and to make changes in their lives. My goal as a counsellor is to facilitate the discovery of Self and use this insight as a platform to enact meaningful change. I also believe that my clients are the experts when it comes to their own lives. Therefore, any interventions in the counselling process will be influenced by the client's knowledge and expertise of their situation.

I aim to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies for positive change.
I aim to help you and your partner improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build a stronger relationship.
Youth counselling services are designed to help young people overcome a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and more. I use evidence-based techniques to help youth develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and achieve greater success in school and other areas of life.
