Working with me will be different than what you may have experienced before. My services include more than just a one-hour weekly session. I provide guided therapy and counselling meaning you can correspond with me in between sessions to check in, ask questions and submit homework if you choose. This is so the therapeutic work continues between sessions in order for you to achieve your goals sooner. To support my clients, I provide weekly guidance with follow-up emails and check-in emails that include resources and activities specific to the client's topics in session. These additional exercises and materials are meant to further explore your issues and find new perspectives. Clients are able to send assignments, ask questions, and update me if they choose.
Is online or in person counselling better?
In my experience, one is not better than the other. There are differences and some might even call these pros and cons, but it will be up to each individual to decide what is best for them based on their needs and preferences. Some studies suggest they are both just as effective.
Which kind of therapy is most commonly used?
My foundation is in person centred therapy. I have studied and practiced using an eclectic approach to counselling, also known as integrative therapy, to tailor the therapy to the individual. My approach is based in strengths-based and solution-focused therapy. I believe in empowering clients to reach their fullest potential and promoting a healthier wellbeing through support and guidance.
