My Approach

I take great pride in my ability to be fully present in the therapy room, creating a safe and supportive space whereby my clients can be truly themselves. I believe that a strong therapeutic rapport, built on trust, respect, empathy, acceptance, and attentiveness, is a crucial aspect in fostering positive changes.

 

I aim to empower my clients to identify personal strengths and cope with their concerns more independently and effectively. Drawing upon humour, warmth, and authenticity, I apply a careful balance of support and challenge in my work.

 

My services are supportive of diversity, including cultural, religious, racial, gender, and sexuality. I utilize an integrative, trauma-informed, and insight-oriented approach to meet the unique needs and values of my clients. I primarily draw upon the following models:  

​​

  • Psychodynamic (Relational and Existential)

  • Cognitive-Behavioural (CBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)

  • Emotion-Focused (EFT)
