Approach to Treatment
My goal as a clinician is to spend time assessing you to understand your symptoms and determine your needs or a probable diagnosis so we can specifically target your the cause of your difficulties. I aim to provide a safe and supportive space for children and adults to process and heal from their trauma. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches including Solution Brief Focused approach, variations of cognitive - behavioural therapy, and trauma - focused therapy to help you develop the skills you need to manage difficult feelings and emotions. My approach is tailored to each individual as the needs for every person is different due to culture, lived experiences, environment and background. I work closely with families, looked after children in residential care, educational establishments and more if needed to ensure that they are involved and informed throughout the treatment process in cases where there is a minor. My objective is to essentially ensure a sense of safety and security is something you experience in a space we create because it is your space to work through being stuck and together help you to become empowered to continue your life with healing.
