My ideal client would be someone who feels overwhelmed, suicidal, stressed, emotionally exhausted, burn out, grieving for a loved one, anxious about life, feels hopeless, has relationship/marital issues, experiencing unresolved trauma, needs academic support, and has family and childhood issues.
The most important thing that I take into account as a clinician is that every individual is unique and therefore each session is tailored specifically to suit individual needs. My approach is solution oriented which integrates other approaches to therapy such as Cognitive behavioural therapy, Trauma informed therapy, and narrative therapy

Starting counseling can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. You don’t have to carry the weight of your story alone or keep pretending you’re fine when you’re not. Healing doesn’t start with having it all figured out; it starts with being brave enough to talk about what hurts. As a Specialist Counselor and Trauma Practitioner, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can untangle the thoughts, patterns, and emotional pain that have kept you stuck. My approach blends psychological science, trauma-informed care, and practical tools that help you regain clarity, confidence, and control of your life.

Suicidal Ideation Counsellors

How does therapy for suicidal ideation work?

Stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances can give rise to suicidal thinking. Therapy can address the events at the core of an individual’s suffering. Understanding why a person may be suicidal can help the therapist and the patient discover alternative methods of coping. A person with suicidal ideation may be mired in catastrophic thinking, and treatment like cognitive behavioural therapy is a good choice for breaking such patterns. In addition, treatment such as acceptance and commitment therapy can help a person manage their distress through better emotion regulation.

Which therapies are best for suicidal ideation?

Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and not act on dangerous urges.

Are there specific medications to be combined with therapy?

The use of medication for suicidal thoughts must be aligned with the underlying cause; conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis may be at the root of suicidal ideation. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for symptoms, which may include antipsychotics such as aripiprazole or antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

How often and how long are therapy sessions for suicidal ideation?

As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. Still other patients, especially those with co-occurring conditions like major depression and anxiety, may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months. In some cases, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm.
