Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.

I practice psychotherapy with a focus on Schema Therapy, a therapeutic approach that emphasizes understanding and changing deep-seated patterns or 'schemas' that impact thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In my work, I strive to promote self-awareness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills. This involves helping individuals identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that may have originated in early life. The goal is to reshape these patterns and build more adaptive coping mechanisms, ultimately enhancing overall psychological resilience
