Practice information:

Life is not always easy, and it is a core belief that all of us – if we live long enough and go through enough life experiences – will struggle with psychological health difficulties at some point in our lives. Strong value is placed on client-centered approaches that are collaborative, solution-focused, and grounded in evidence-based science. Maintaining a strong values-based approach in all work carried on with clients, taking the time to learn about you and what’s most important to you is a paramount component to any psychological doctor-client relationship. It is essential to pay attention to all important areas of your life – not just the symptoms – and work with you to enhance your quality of life both personally and professionally. All of us are experts in our own lives – as such, each client guides the focus of treatment, and it’s the desire to work to ensure strong understanding of your goals, hopes and dreams and that effective support is given in order for you to achieve the outcomes you desire for your life. In addition to working with you to enhance your psychological health and wellness, paying attention to your physical health (exercise, sleep, diet), your relationships (family, friends, intimate relationships) and work- related goals and pursuits (including workplace challenges and stressors) are areas that are placed as highly valuable in pursuing further consideration.
