As Carl Rogers said, “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Let’s start your journey toward positive transformation today.
about me.
I’m Anthony, the heart behind NextGen Counselling, and I’m here to walk alongside youths and young adults as they navigate life’s toughest moments. My journey started in Nigeria, where I earned my Bachelor of Education in Guidance and Counselling from Adekunle Ajasin University. Growing up, I saw how mental health challenges often went unspoken, and I knew I wanted to be part of changing that especially for the next generation.
In 2019, I moved to Canada to pursue my Master of Education at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC, a step that deepened my understanding of mental health and equipped me to support others in a new cultural context. Since then, I’ve worked with diverse communities across British Columbia, from Surrey to Vancouver, helping young people and families facing mental health struggles, substance use, and life transitions.
With roles like Crisis Clinician at Fraser Health Authority and Family Outreach Counsellor with Fraser Valley Aboriginal Children and Family Services Society, I’ve honed my ability to create real, lasting change. I specialize in working with youths and young adults, using practical tools like individual and family therapy, cultural connection, and community advocacy to help them build resilience and find their footing. Whether it’s tackling anxiety, depression, or the uncertainty of growing up, I’m here to listen, guide, and empower.
Beyond my work, I’m passionate about community whether it’s volunteering with the Vancouver Police Department to support public safety initiatives or engaging in cultural practices like healing circles. I believe healing happens when we connect, and I’m committed to being that connection for the young people I serve.
Let’s take this journey together. Reach out, and let’s start the conversation.
My Services.
Initial Consultation (15 mins free phone call)
Let’s start where you are. In our first meeting, I’ll listen really listen to what’s on your mind and where you want to go. No scripts, no judgment, just a conversation about you. Whether it’s untangling anxiety, lifting the weight of depression, or finding your footing after trauma, we’ll sketch out a path that feels right for *you*. Ready to take that step? Book your session today and let’s spark some real change.
Counselling That Fits You (60 minute session for $150)
Healing doesn’t come with a manual, but it does come with support. In our sessions, I blend Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to help you wrestle back control of your thoughts, your feelings, your life. I’m here for the tough stuff: depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, or those dark moments that feel too heavy to carry alone. Each session is built around your quick wins or deep shifts, whatever you’re chasing. Your headspace matters. Let’s shape it together.
Youths & Young Adults Mentorship (60 minute session for $150)
Being young can feel like a maze with no map. I get it and I’ve got your back. My mentorship is all about giving you a space to breathe, grow, and figure things out, whether it’s school stress, career fog, or just feeling lost in your own skin. Together, we’ll:
-
Set meaningful goals and stay accountable
-
Develop strong emotional intelligence and coping skill
-
Gain clarity on career and life direction
-
Build confidence in your abilities
