Are you struggling with substance or alcohol use, trauma and/or despair? Utilising my neuroscience and addictions academic and professional background, I will support you to not just survive but regain control of your life one day at a time. My approach aims to go beyond only listening to the issues you may have by using analysis and solutions to give the support you need. While this approach is based on you gaining more knowledge about yourself, I also highly value patients being as comfortable as possible in the sessions as well.
The core of the techniques provided by Cognitive Counselling are a collaborative approach to discovering what is contributing to the difficulties clients are seeking help for and resolving them. One of the most important aspects in being able to create change in ourselves, is the ability to acknowledge what needs to be changed.
Some Client Feedback: "I think Joonas is a caring, empathetic and knowledgeable professional able to facilitate a safe environment, the support you require in the therapeutic modalities you require them in, and the tools to help you help yourself."
