Hello and a very warm welcome to you. My name is Carl Conradi (he/him), and I'm a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC, #11244101) based in Calgary, Canada. I offer one-on-one in-person and online counselling services to adults and adolescents residing in the Calgary Metropolitan Area, across Alberta and Western Canada, and abroad. At present, I do not accept clients from Canadian provinces east of Manitoba, or from the United States of America.
Born in Calgary and raised in Edmonton, I obtained my MSc in Psychological Counselling from Regent's University London, a training institute in the United Kingdom that specialises in existential therapy. Prior to this, I also earned an MSc in Psychology from BPP University, and an MSc in War & Psychiatry from King's College London (also in the UK).
I've provided counselling to the general adult and adolescent public via private practice, private clinics, and through the UK's National Health Service (NHS). Outside of the office, I've served as a clinical liaison for Recoil Alberta (a non-profit that facilitates peer support groups for armed forces veterans and first responders), and as a part-time researcher at the Canadian Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).
In the main, I work with clients who present with ageing concerns, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), problematic anger, anxiety, behavioural addiction, depression, LGBTQIA2S discrimination or identity issues, loneliness, men's issues, obsessive-compulsiveness (OCD), phobia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), relationship difficulties, work-related stress, and other psychological challenges. At the same time, I'm deeply passionate about working with individuals who have experienced "moral injury" (whether military or civilian), immigrant or expatriate challenges, sudden life transformation and existential crisis, consensual non-monogamy, and/or corporate/entrepreneurial workplace anxiety.
More recently, I've completed a seven-month Certificate Programme in Traumatic Stress Studies offered by Bessel van den Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation; Levels I and II of the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy; as well as the advanced Gottman training in "Treating Affairs and Trauma." However, please note that I do not currently accept couples or poly partners for relationship counselling.
En 2020, j'ai obtenu ma Diplôme d'Études en Langue Française (DELF) B2 de l'Alliance Française. Je continue à pratiquer mon français chaque semaine, avec un professeur à Lyon. À ce titre, j'offre les séances en français et en anglais.
As a mental health practitioner, I'm a firm believer in the importance of work-life balance, and outside of the office, I have a number of deeply cherished hobbies. These include travelling, camping, weight-lifting, skiing, karate, yoga, scuba diving, cooking, reading, origami, learning languages, and playing video games.
