Approach

Treatment Approaches
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Person-centred approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.

My work focuses on translating psychological theory into practical, observable behavior change. This can come in the form of movement (from walking, to climbing, to martial arts), or can be done through convential talking one-to-one. Each session is personalized to the client and where they are at on their personal journey.

My approach is holistic and integrative, with emphasis on creating a safe space where you can explore yourself and find the solutions that best fit you. I use tools and exercises from a variety of disciplines to help identify growth points on develop them through exercises, which I continue to expand throughout my career. My sessions primarily constitute the following approaches:
