John’s Bio:
John Roche has two Master's degrees in counselling and a decade of clinical experience. He also has extensive post-graduate training in EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, IFS, and DBR - six of the most empirically-validated and effective forms of therapy. We are proud to boast that John is also the only therapist in all of Canada to be certified in the three different therapies of CBT, DBT, and EMDR.
Passionately dedicated to his growth as a person and a professional, he has practiced meditation for 16 years, studied under a number of psychological and spiritual masters, and lived in monasteries around the world. In order to offer his clients the highest standard of therapy, he continuously engages in post-graduate education, professional consultation, and self-directed study.

Into his early twenties, John struggled with severe anxiety and depression. After experiencing how counselling transformed his most profound difficulties into sources of creativity, compassion, and joy, he committed himself to helping others to do the same. He has come to believe that all people, no matter how battered or lost they may seem, are capable of healing and leading satisfying, joyful lives.
John moved to Waterloo from Victoria in 2012, and in his spare time he loves being outdoors, reading, dancing, travelling, writing, meditating, and eating nachos.
