The thought of coming to see a psychologist can be quite daunting for some. That is why I try to help my clients feel as comfortable as possible before any treatment commences. Generally I have found that taking the time to explore clients’ fears and concerns, identify their important needs, and simply explaining the therapeutic process can greatly reduce their worries.I believe that developing a good rapport and strong alliance with my clients is essential to effective therapy. I strive to create an empathetic therapeutic environment that is non-judgmental and client-focused. My approach is very open, honest and always encourages power-sharing. My theoretical approach is Integrative and Solution-Focused. Strategies I employ derive mostly from Positive Psychology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MBCBT) theories. Specifically, I focus on both reducing clients’ emotional distress and increasing positive emotional experiences. This process is facilitated through emphasising character strengths, enhancing personal awareness and reducing avoidance of ongoing difficulties. Overall, my approach aims to build resilience, reduce the chance of relapse and improve one’s quality of life.. Before devising treatment plans, my clients are actively involved in the processes of assessment, feedback and goal setting. Throughout treatment, personal goals are reviewed to evaluate progress and if necessary, are revised.I believe therapy is more than an hour per week process. As part of treatment I will often suggest homework assignments or recommend readings which my clients can pursue between sessions to enhance the counselling process.Client needs, personality and circumstances determine treatments chosen and their therapeutic time frame .
