My Approach

Whether you are interested in psychotherapy or coaching services, my approach to helping you achieve your goals is rooted in certain key principles.

We will always work together to create a coherent therapeutic experience. My holistic approach incorporates a variety of methodologies to build an integrative and personalized plan that honours your uniqueness and aims to empower you with insights, skills, and a deeper connection to your authentic self.

The evidence-based methodologies we will utilize include:

  • Mindfulness and Presence Practice

    Integral to my approach, mindfulness encourages presence, awareness, and connection with the here-and-now.

    It serves as a grounding force, enhancing self-awareness and emotional regulation.

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    By exploring the interplay between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, CBT allows us to identify and challenge unhelpful patterns.

    It offers practical tools for developing healthier thinking habits and coping strategies.

  • Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

    CFT recognizes the power of compassion in nurturing a kind, empathetic stance that can transform your relationship with yourself and the world around you.

    It aligns with my commitment to nurturing self-compassion and resilience.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

    Emphasizing balance and synthesis, DBT fosters skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.

    It is a nuanced approach that helps in navigating complex emotions and conflicts.
