Counselling Services in Dartmouth, Halifax

At Kinesis Health Associates we recognize the importance of mental and emotional health.

We are very pleased to offer counselling therapy, with Deborah Hubble Smith, Counsellor, MC, RCT-C and Brian MacAulay, as part of our health and wellness services at our clinic.

Why Counselling?

The challenges you are experiencing are not “who you are.” You are greater than a set of problems. Together with a Counselling Therapist you can examine each challenge, and evaluate how you got to where you are. Through this exploration, you will discover the strengths you have developed along the way in order to overcome your challenges.

Brian MacAulay

Brian believes that the strength and motivation to change comes from within the client where the role of the therapist is to help facilitate change. Brian helps people target their innate strengths while establishing tangible goals and outcomes. He helps support people in digging deep to examine our past mental-emotional concerns that are impacting our day-to-day lives.

Brian has a specialty in Family Crisis, Family Dynamics, Addictions and trauma with significant experience in other areas of mental health and well-being.

At present, Brian manages the Counselling Centre at Saint Mary’s University. He has experience working in hospitals, in addictions clinics, with the courts, in private community based practice and the team lead for therapeutic services with provincial Corrections.

With nearly 20 years of experience, Brian has a varied background working with individuals, couples, youth, and families providing support in such areas as:

• General stress, anxiety, and depression
• Addictions counselling
• Domestic violence
• Physical injury and disability
• Grief and loss
