I particularly assist clients that require therapy in the areas of anxiety, substance abuse (other addictions), depression and relationship issues. My focus is on working with the client towards personal development and goal setting. Each client is so very unique, hence, requires a personal counselling approach that is catered entirely for them. As a therapist, i work with various approaches such as: CBT, ACT, humanistic approach and TRTP (trauma therapy) amongst many other(s).
My approach incorporates empathy, professionalism and mindfulness. I draw from both my individual life experiences and numerous therapeutic approaches. Each client requires a unique mental health care plan.
Due to such unprecedented times, many individuals may find themselves experiencing various financial, mental and/or physical struggles. These struggles alone, may be one of the many reason(s) that trigger a state of anxiety.
