Therapeutic Approach

Person-Centred and Culturally Informed Counselling

I work from a person-centred perspective, recognising that the person is not the problem; the problem is the problem. Life transitions and challenges arise from situations, not from who you are. Using a culturally informed approach, we explore these challenges in the context of your background, values, and experiences, helping you navigate change without blame or self-judgment, and fostering understanding, growth, and resilience

Grounded on Carl Rogers’ person-centred philosophy from the 1940s, I take a collaborative, non-directive approach that recognises you as the expert in your own life. I draw on my lived experiences and professional training to support you in deepening self-awareness, reconnecting with your resilience, and moving toward your full potential. Alongside this, I integrate relevant strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy (NT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT), tailoring techniques to your unique needs in personal and professional growth. 

Research shows that feeling a strong sense of trust and connection with your counsellor is just as important in creating a space where real transformation can happen. In simpler terms, it’s important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. I’m here to support your personal self-discovery, emotional insight, and meaningful change through the three core principles of person-centred therapy.

Congruence

I seek to remain authentic, transparent, and accessible. This means just you and me working together as a team with no superiority or power imbalance.  

Unconditional Positive Regard

Genuinely caring for you, with warmth and acceptance. You can trust that I’ll respect you deeply, without any prejudice.

Empathy

I aim to be compassionate and have a deeper connection with your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
