My Approach

In therapy, my aim is to draw from appropriate modalities that best suit the client's needs. Therefore, in practice, my approach is often integrative, meaning that there is utilization of the different concepts and tools from various modalities to assist with meeting the client's goals for therapy. 

​

However, my foundational approach to therapy is to use the psychodynamic modality. This approach allows for long-term benefits as it unpacks and explores the underlying processes of one's behaviour and personality. As it opens the door to unconscious processes that influence our cognitions and behaviour, it creates a space that allows for connecting the dots from childhood to adulthood. 

​

I also incorporate the concepts of Person-Centered Therapy, which fosters an empathetic and nurturing environment for the client. My aim is to understand the intra and interpersonal dynamics of my client, together with the intricacies of the individual, and that can be achieved with empathy and congruence from myself, as the psychologist. Additionally, I also lean towards using the tools of Dialectical Behavioural Therapy for emotional regulation and Cognitive Behavior Therapy for those maladaptive thoughts and behaviour.

Besides the various techniques, my central focus is to provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space that invites your unconscious and conscious desires, behaviours and patterns. ​
