Your best first step here is to meet me at King Edward Station which is very close to a very calm quiet area where you can slowly show me your concerns and together we can take a step towards building you into a Calm Driver.
- give your concerns with driving a voice
- allow me to hear your story and propose a direction forward
- together, build a positive enjoyable experience as best we can
Coming with no expectations, other than tell your story and get to know me and my car a little. Sure, if you want to drive a bit it’s also ok. Many don’t the first time, or they drive a wee bit from the instructor chair 🙂

With this Fear & Anxiety Assessment
You’ll walk away with …
“I prefer setting a direction for progress over rigid goals because hard targets can add unnecessary pressure. Growing up, I was often criticized for not following a set path to success dictated by authority figures. It’s important to blaze your own trail. Rigid guidance isn’t necessarily bad, but it often fails when those providing it can’t or won’t listen to your struggles. Many of us need nontraditional approaches and end up fighting to create our own paths. Whichever path you choose or is needed, I will accompany you.” COOPER
I hope you will come away from our interaction with a neutral, yet relaxed experience. Many clients describe their first meeting as a blur, but notably not a negative one, not adding to any previous fears or bad experiences. This neutrality is crucial as it represents a step forward, potentially paving the way to positive developments. It’s about starting to move away from past negatives, opening up the possibility of stepping forward into a more positive mindset of ‘I CAN’ rather than ‘I CAN’T’.”
WHAT QUALIFIES COOPER TO HELP YOU?
Since 2019, I have specialized in transforming doubtful learners into calm, confident drivers in Vancouver. The best evidence of my effectiveness is the heartfelt testimonials from real clients, reflecting not only their triumphs but also the mutual growth we’ve experienced as they’ve shared their stories of anxiety and fear.
My professional path wasn’t shaped by formal education but by sheer determination and dedication to overcoming challenges. This drive led me to high-level roles such as CEO of an international consulting firm, and an acting CIO for one of Canada’s largest privately owned marketing groups. My real-world experience is complemented by extensive training with the Road Safety Association and collaborations on rehabilitation programs, enhancing my ability to help you manage driving anxiety.
From driving starting at the age of six to overseeing safety in high-pressure research studies with Transport Canada, my hands-on experience is vast. However, ignoring stress and emotional strain throughout my rise led to significant health issues, which reshaped my approach to stress management and resilience—lessons I bring to each session.
My wealth lies in experiences and lifelong learning. I am committed to helping you gain the freedom and confidence driving provides. Come and take a small step with me; it might just change your life. Enjoy my passion of Instilling a Seriousness for Driving.
RECOMMENDATIONS for MAXIMUM RESULTS
- expect a simple calm chat, like meeting a long-time friend. I can lead or follow, whichever works best for you
- carry your real license or related ICBC documents
- bring water tea or a drink if needed
- in my car, I have tissues and clean small freshly laundered towels for hand-sweating etc.
- often new clients worry about the first session. I encourage you to meet me because success is when you take this first step 🙂 And if you must cancel and delay it is ok. Tomorrow will come and I will still be near to help you.
