In addition, I have earned a PhD and Master's in Psychology and a Bachelor's degree in Occupational Therapy from institutions abroad. Although I have chosen to focus on my counselling and psychotherapy practice and not pursue my career in those fields, the invaluable knowledge and experiences gained significantly enhance my therapeutic practice.
My extensive experience spans several years of working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and unique needs. Having walked in similar shoes, I genuinely empathise with your journey. My aim is to provide you with an environment where you feel acknowledged, empowered and accepted just as you are. I am here to validate your experiences and offer a confidential and trusting space that encourages you to discover new effective ways of relating with yourself and others.
With a solid base in various therapeutic modalities, I am equipped to support you through any challenges you face. I firmly believe in employing evidence-based techniques, and my commitment to my clients has resulted in a proven track record of positive and effective outcomes. To stay current with the latest mental health research, I continuously engage in professional development and learning.
I am deeply passionate about helping you navigate the issues that impact your life's quality. I stand committed to achieving meaningful results, particularly when working with clients facing challenging circumstances. Your well-being is my priority, and together we can journey toward healing and growth.
My Approach
Neuroplasticity science has proven that our brain is plastic and regardless of age, genetic background or life experience, it can learn new things and change old patterns. Research has also suggested that effective counselling and psychotherapy can help rewire our brains and build new neural networks that can create changes and develop or improve physical and mental health and well-being. My aim is to provide you with the most updated therapeutic techniques to assist you not only in modifying and enhancing your thoughts, feelings and behaviours but also enabling your brain to create new neural connections to reach your highest potential become your best self and achieve your life goals.
I work from a place of genuine interest and curiosity about each client I meet with. In my therapy sessions, I offer a healthy atmosphere for client growth and development and work with clients in the “here and now”. This means past issues are explored but in the context of how they impact your life now, mostly through your learned responses and ways of behaving and thinking. I help clients to learn different ways to think and different ways to respond by utilising a holistic approach and multi-modal integrative, evidence-based therapies. Therefore, I customise or/and combine various therapeutic strategies and treatments for each of my clients according to their specific needs that are best suited for them. This modality will allow my clients flexibility to become more interested and engaged in therapies to reach higher, more effective and positive therapy results.
