I am amazed at how effective, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can be in making real change.
I am thrilled to be able to help people, "help themselves." I believe we all have answers to our problems and issues, which talking to a compassionate, caring person helps to uncover. Trauma of any kind can make us susceptible to unhealthy coping mechanisms. Certain situations in life are difficult for us to handle at times. I help to provide strategies and guidance in trying out new ways to cope. Shedding light onto our issues and behaviour which is not working for us places us in in the driver's seat as we control our reactions.

I apply evidence-based cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), including mindfulness techniques (MBCT) to my counselling work.
Experiencing life's transitions can be very challenging. Whether these changes are personal or shared, I am here to help you navigate your own transitions. Change is especially difficult when we are young and working to reach developmental and emotional milestones. However, I can assist children to work through these challenges by helping them develop healthy coping strategies and learn to identify as well as manage their emotions. Regardless of your age, life's transitions can be overwhelming, but they do not need to be dealt with alone.

When I made the conscious effort to connect emotionally, mentally, and spiritually with myself, others, and my environment, I realized the importance of relationship and the power of sharing our narratives with others. My practice prioritizes nurturing the need to connect. When this connection is made and individuals understand why the body, mind, and spirit respond and react in certain ways, they are ready to learn how to implement skills and strategies.

By taking a holistic approach I acknowledge that individuals are multidimensional beings, encompassing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects. Through this holistic perceptive, I aim for therapy to promote overall well-being and balance in my clients’ lives, rather than just focusing on a specific symptom or issue. In collaboration with a holistic approach, I incorporate an individualistic approach that recognizes that each person is unique and has their own set of values, beliefs and experiences. With this approach I prioritize understanding and honoring my clients’ individuality.

Sometimes men are great at pretending everything's fine – even when life is falling apart. Trying to carry the weight of the world all by yourself is a sure path to depression, anger issues, self-medicating, lashing out, and increased stress and physical symptoms. Whether you're trying to figure out what your partner wants (what does she mean by "communicate better" anyway?), or you're needing to talk through personal, work, or family issues, I can help you get to a better place. If you're worried that you're the only one, don't. There is literally nothing you can tell me that I haven't heard or worked with before.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
