Description
Drawing from my expertise, I design personalized therapy plans that integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a Person-Centered approach, and Solution-Focused Therapy techniques. My approach addresses current issues while equipping clients with essential coping skills for sustained positive change. Despite being one of the younger counsellors, I leverage my age as a strength, fostering a deep sense of understanding and empathy among my young clients. My goal is to create a safe and accepting environment where clients can explore their challenges and achieve meaningful growth.
