Xavier Williams

MCP, CCC

I strive to be a kind, compassionate, and thoughtful listener; am curious about and interested in people; and possess a genuine desire to help others. I help clients confront difficult issues, and accept themselves for who they are and who they want to be, whatever that means to them. My clients include professionals, musicians and other creatives; young people; and survivors of abuse and trauma.

​

Though I currently live in Canada, I have previously worked and studied in South Africa (Cape Town) and the United Kingdom (London). I am bilingual in French and English. 

 

Outside of counselling, I am a keen participant in several sports, including water polo, curling, cross-country skiing, running, cycling, and hiking. I also served for several years as a member of the board of directors of the Society of Existential Analysis of Canada, and co-host a bi-weekly podcast on how to live an existentially attuned life called The Existentialists Podcast.
