My Approach

Gestalt Psychotherapy focuses on the individual's present experience and the ways they interact with their environment. It emphasizes personal responsibility and aims to help clients become aware of their thoughts, feelings, and actions in the here and now. By using techniques such as role-playing and guided imagery, clients can explore unresolved issues and gain insight into their behaviors and emotions, leading to greater self-awareness and personal growth.

This therapeutic approach addresses mental health issues through a spiritual lens, incorporating prayer, scripture, and Christian teachings into the psychotherapy process. It aims to support clients in finding healing and wholeness by fostering a deeper relationship with God, aligning their mental health goals with their faith, and drawing on spiritual resources for strength and guidance.

Secular Therapy is an approach that operates independently of religious or spiritual frameworks. It focuses on evidence-based psychological principles and methods to address mental health issues and promote well-being. Secular therapy emphasizes personal responsibility, critical thinking, and scientific understanding, employing techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and other established modalities.

EMDR is a structured therapy designed to help individuals process and resolve traumatic memories. It involves recalling distressing events while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones. This process helps reduce the emotional impact of the memories and allows clients to develop healthier coping mechanisms. EMDR is particularly effective for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related conditions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts by teaching individuals to identify and change negative patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT is based on the idea that how we think (cognition), how we feel (emotion), and how we act (behavior) all interact together. It is widely used to treat a variety of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and others.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a form of energy psychology that involves tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on a negative emotion or issue. EFT is designed to release emotional blocks, reduce stress, and promote emotional healing. The tapping sequence is believed to balance energy and relieve psychological stress and physical tension.

Enneagram Therapy utilizes the Enneagram personality typology to help clients understand their core motivations, fears, and behaviors. The Enneagram identifies nine distinct personality types, each with its own patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting. By recognizing their Enneagram type, clients can gain deeper self-awareness and work on personal growth areas, improve relationships, and develop strategies for overcoming challenges based on their unique personality traits.

CoActive Coaching is a collaborative and client-centred approach that emphasizes the individual's whole life, including their personal, professional, and relational aspects. It focuses on empowering clients to achieve their goals and live fulfilling lives by exploring their values, strengths, and aspirations. CoActive coaches work with clients to co-create actionable plans, provide support and accountability, and facilitate personal and professional development through deep, meaningful conversations and experiential learning techniques.
