My approach

 

In my clinical capacity, I strongly emphasize the importance of incorporating a holistic model of services that takes into consideration the mental/emotional, physical/biological, social, community and the spiritual aspects of the client to ensure well-being and self-sufficiency. 

​

My theoretical orientation is primarily client cantered; however, however, I am eclectic in my approach and often integrate other models of therapy such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Compassion based therapy, Mindfulness based therapy, Emotion focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy.

My method

I believe in nurturing and modelling a safe and empowering environment that can aid a client to clarify problems, set goals, objectives, implement teachings, and learning’s from counseling and achieves self-sufficiency. I strongly advocate psycho education and solution focused approaches in my sessions and is very proactive with the mantra” Help my client to help themselves.” Additionally, due to my advanced training in multicultural counseling I constantly adapt my techniques to best suit the client’s cultural background, ethnic identity, level of acculturation and his /her unique life experiences and situations.
