My approach to working with clients is in the first counselling session to get a detailed understanding of the symptoms regarding mental health that you identify with, and more specifically the impacts they have on your day to day functioning.

I have been registered as a psychologist for the past 11 years, and have undergone training in a variety of counselling methods with many different types of clients. I use a variety of techniques depending on a client's personality, presenting issue, and what they are experiencing from week to week. I also focus on both shorter term counselling that is directed towards resolving a particular issue, as well as longer term psychotherapy that is more focused on internal exploration and deeper change. I provide a safe, empathic environment so that clients are comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and find the strength to overcome adversity and make healthy choices.

My approach is based on multiple evidenced based theoretical perspectives. I integrate these perspectives into individualized treatments to cater to the unique circumstances of clients. The therapeutic relationship is essential for psychological change. Within this relationship the safety and security required to explore different perspectives is created.

There largely remains a stigma in our society about seeing a psychologist. Therefore, when individuals, couples, or families experience a problem, they are liable to keep it to themselves or at most, share with trusted allies. Unfortunately, there can be several limitations to doing so - we are often hesitant to share freely with even those with whom we feel close. It's here that the psychologist has something to offer: a safe, non-judgmental place where rapport can be built on confidentiality, mutual respect and sensitivity. Bringing pertinent, thorough, and efficious training, the psychologist meets the client where they're at and facilitates collaborative solutions to presenting problems.
