Methods I use
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Humanistic / Person-Centred Therapy Positive Psychology / Strengths-Based Approaches
I consider all factors in that may be stressors - social (friends, family, community), work, romantic relationships, sleep, exercise and home environment. Thus, my approach is holistic. I have a special interest in intrapersonal and interpersonal communication - how we relate to ourselves (often our own worst enemy) and what we (do and do not) communicate in personal and professional relationships. My sessions are an environment where my client can expect to feel understood, accepted unconditionally, and a space to develop an authentic connection with yourself. Unlike out in the world or in your mind, this is a space where your thoughts, feelings and behaviours are valid responses in the context of your past and present. Your feelings matter and make sense. Beyond this, we will work towards identifying and practising tools that facilitate change - an active process. Over time, you can expect talking to become meaningful change.
