Areas of Expertise
Counselling
Counseling is a collaborative process between a trained counselor and an individual or group seeking assistance. It typically focuses on specific issues or concerns, such as relationship problems, stress management, career transitions, or coping with grief. Counseling often involves exploring thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to gain insight into challenges and develop strategies for positive change.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT is a structured, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to emotional distress or dysfunctional coping mechanisms. By addressing cognitive distortions and implementing behavior change strategies, CBT aims to promote adaptive thinking and healthier ways of coping with stressors. It is widely used in treating mood disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety), phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, sometimes referred to as talk therapy, involves the use of psychological methods to help individuals overcome emotional difficulties, mental health disorders, or behavioral problems. Psychotherapy sessions can be conducted one-on-one, with couples, families, or in group settings. Therapists utilize various theoretical approaches and techniques, such as psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), tailored to the needs of the client.
