Our Team

My name is Bryan Bullock and I have been counselling since 2011, and I have enjoyed every step of my career journey. I have a Master of Counselling Degree, I am a Registered Psychologist (College of Alberta Psychologists), and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association).

My approach to counselling centers around my belief in people. I believe every person has value regardless of how life plays out, or decisions that have been made. I also, believe that every person possess the tools necessary to work through whatever difficulties they are experiencing. Although, I believe all this to be true I also understand we may not always feel valuable, or feel like we have the ability to manage our situation. I hope that I might be able to support this process by utilizing the various counselling approach that I use. Some of these approaches include Person Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy, Gottman Couples Therapy, Eye Movement Reprocessing Desensitization, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Strategies, and various strategies for managing difficult emotions.

I mainly work with adults focusing mostly on couples, relationship concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and stress. Whatever the concern may be I will always look to provide a secure and non-judgmental space that includes a clear picture of how I will operate and how I might be able to help. I also believe in providing choice and alternatives.

In my spare time I like to spend time with family and friends. I enjoy being active with bike rides, golf, hockey, and just enjoying the outdoors. I also really enjoy being handy, so I put some effort into building and fixing things around my home.

I offer appointments one evening per week and Saturday’s during the day.

Hello! My name is Donna Maier. I am pleased to be doing my Master of Social Work practicum with Lethbridge Counselling Services. I have worked as a social worker in Southern Alberta for 22 years, serving diverse children, youth, adults, and families. My work has involved assisting to increase positive outcomes for people who have experienced trauma, loss and grief, life transitions, crisis situations, social and structural barriers, and inadequate access to resources. In doing so, I have learned so much about perseverance, vulnerability, and resilience.

I look forward to focusing my experience and education into a counselling role to help people enhance their lives. I strive to establish authentic relationships by being transparent, sincere, and reliable. I respect people’s own wisdom, knowledge, and experience and believe that each one of us has innate strengths and abilities and the capacity for change. Using an integrative counselling approach, we can work together to honor where you are at, set goals to help you make the changes that you desire in a timely manner, and celebrate the smallest of successes along the way.

My name is Sherrie Nickel and I am excited to be entering a new chapter of my life after retiring from a thirty year career in education. During my tenure as a teacher and administrator, I worked with students from all grade levels while also supporting parents and staff. My most recent credential is a Masters of Counselling Psychology degree from Yorkville University, and also hold bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Lethbridge. I am currently a Canadian Certified Counsellor.

Counselling has called to me because I believe that all people have potential and deserve to live the fullest life possible. I also know that the journey is not always easy, and we encounter barriers along the way. My goal is to help people overcome those barriers in order to life whole-heartedly. I see this to be true for adults and children as well, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs and all those traits that describe but do not define us. I have experience working with all populations, and consider this an asset for successful counselling.

My educational background has provided me with a solid foundation in counselling practices such as, but not exclusive to, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, Person-centered Therapy, Mindfulness, Self Compassion, and Self-regulation. With that said, what has resonated with me most and I believe to be at the root of most, if not all, therapy is unconditional positive regard. I intend for my counselling practice to display that at every turn.

I am a mother and grandmother who loves to read, dance and create. I am a lifelong learner, and believe that we all have the potential to continue growing and learning for our whole lives.
