Relationship built on Trust & Understanding

Taking the first steps toward positive change can be unnerving, and I would be honoured to take your first steps towards becoming your best self with you. Together we can navigate the difficult and painful experiences that life can bring you.

In our early sessions, there will be a focus on building a trusting relationship where we will establish your goals and understand your current concerns at a pace that is comfortable for you. We will develop a treatment plan to best meet your psychological needs, and or answer some of the fundamental questions about your mental health, to lead you forward. Throughout therapy, I aim to provide a relationship that is based on compassion, empathy, genuineness, and authentic engagement, to help you reach your full potential.

During Treatment

You can expect a warm relationship built on trust, understanding and genuine interest in your life experience. I draw on numerous evidence-based therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioural, humanistic, biopsychosocial, psychodynamic and attachment-based modalities to conceptualize and form an understanding of your current needs, from an integrative perspective. I use Cognitive behavioural approaches including:-
  • Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT),
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
  • Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT
