Richard first learned of AEDP in 2011 and attended an introductory course led by Dr. Diana Fosha and Ben Lipton in Vancouver, BC. Their expert training and videos were incredibly moving, resonating deeply with Richard. In one session, Dale Trimble spoke with such passion, conviction, and emotion, rarely shown by men which allowed Richard to fully be himself, not only in those sessions but in the years since. Meeting Dale remains one of Richard’s most fortunate personal and professional experiences.

For the past eight years, Richard has provided supervision to students in their internships and licensed therapists for ongoing support. This work is very rewarding, witnessing therapists grow and enhance their confidence and professional skills. He was approached years ago to be an EA for the Essential Skills courses, a role he truly loves and maintains a regular schedule supporting the AEDP community by being an Experiential Assistant in Essential Skills and Advanced Skills courses. Richard is excited to have been accepted into the AEDP Supervisor in Training program and look forward to supporting therapists in their AEDP journey and certification.

Richard is a life-long learner with education both within Canada and abroad. He has attained distinctions as a Certified AEDP Therapist, Certified EMDR Therapist, Certified Trauma Therapist, Addictions Counsellor, and Couples Counsellor and looks forward to supporting you in your journey.
