I personally believe an experienced professional counselor is the perfect combination of science and art. We apply techniques that are scientific in nature, but complete the journey with the art of listening and non-judgemental understanding. For the last 13 years I have practiced this combined science and art of counseling to help people walk their own individual path of healing. In my many years of counseling people across all age groups, from children to parents, from adolescents to working professionals, I have realised the importance of creating a safe space for my clients, and how this safe space is the perfect catalyst for a healthy change in your mental, emotional and behavioural state. As a psychotherapist, I believe in using an approach that is tailored to the individual's unique needs. I use a form of therapy called "Talk Therapy" to explore patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be limiting. My therapeutic approach is client centered meaning that I believe my clients are the experts of their own lives. I work collaboratively with them to identify their goals and develop tools to achieve them. Additionally, I incorporate evidence-based techniques and interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy CBT, REBT based on my clients' needs and preferences. I also believe that the socio-cultural and political context is an important factor to consider when providing therapy. Our backgrounds, cultural heritage, social status, gender, and political environment all influence our experiences and perceptions. As a therapist, I strive to understand my clients' experiences within their unique cultural context and work towards decolonizing our understanding of healing.
