About Andrew Fountain
Dr. Andrew Fountain was born in the UK and moved to Canada in 1991.
I live in Toronto, Canada where I lead Newlife Church, Toronto, and research the connections between the two worlds of mental heath and Christian theology, with the goal of producting training material to help church communities to be safe and healing spaces for those who have experienced trauma and lack secure attachment.
Here are a few modalities that I have done training in:- AEDP
- ISTDP
- IFS
- ACT
- Focusing (Gendlin)
