	Accountability: I report to a Board of Reference of persons of repute who know me personally and professionaly.  You can contact them before contacting me to check things out.  You can report problems to them if you have concerns.  I am accountable to them and meet with them at an annual Board of Reference meeting. Education: I hold a masters degree clinical psychology from the University of Calgary.  His graduate studies followed four years practical experience in the Psychology Department of one of Alberta's primary mental health facilities.  This means that George received hands on experience before academic studies.  With him academics, psychology and clinical theory must be proved in experience and fit with good theology. Style: Clients appreciate George's loving, nonjudgemental attitude and his fairness.  When appropriate George can be prayerful during sessions, or listen, set up skill practice or provide insight.  Practical experience means that George has had a lot of time to discover what works for different clients.  Some of this came from my Christian counselling mentors. Testimonies: The kind of benefits people report from sessions with George is shown in their testimonies: What clients say.  Client Testimonies  Clients find that George's insights are accurate and therapeutic benefits often exceed expectations.       There is also feedback from professionals.  See what professionals report about an intensive marriage retreat.
