My approach

I like to look at counselling as an opportunity to process what is on our mind to someone who does not have a vested interest in the outcome. This can allow a client to potentially look at options that may have not come up otherwise. My practice has a CBT foundation as I find its principles easy to explain and there is much literature out there backing its effectiveness. I also have a special place in my heart for Narrative therapy. Its tools are great for helping clients look at the story of their life and what they might want to do possibly rewrite their narrative. Also, I am currently integrating more opportunities to help my clients connect with their own body wisdom to help them orient to appropriate strategies that support their mental health.
