Paul James Registered Psychologist Credentials and Experience Vancouver

Dr. Paul James is a registered psychologist (#00975) in private practice since 1990. He brings to private practice experience in the fields of Alcohol and Drug counselling, Mental Health, and Employee Assistance. His educational background includes a B.A. (McMaster), M.Div. (Vancouver School of Theology), M.A. and Ed.D. (Counselling Psychology, UBC). Because he believes that it is important for counsellors to do their own personal therapy, he has spent several years in individual therapy.

In addition to training in Person-Centered and Marital/Family Therapy approaches during his Master and Doctoral programs, he completed one year of supervision while working in an Alcohol and Drug Clinic that met the College of Psychologists requirements for registration.

Other training experiences include:

  • American Association of Marital and Family Therapy (1000 hours of supervised clinical work with couples and families accredited by AAMFT)
  • Gestalt Experiential Training Institute ( three year training in Gestalt/Experiential theory and techniques)
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)(completed an outcome study of EFT for my doctoral dissertation, with two published articles about EFT)
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Level 1 and 2
  • Voice Therapy (VT), Level 1 and 2
