He has trained as an EMDR Therapist.
Let's be real, deciding to see a counsellor isn't always easy, especially when dealing with life challenges. Seeking support for our mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness, but it's something many of us weren't taught. Therapy takes courage and commitment. It's an investment in yourself, and like any investment, it requires effort and your are worth it. I believe that healing and managing change involves both mind and body. That's why I use approaches such as EMDR, IFS, and ACT in my practice. These practices go to the core of our emotions, help us be present in the moment, and recognize the importance of what our body tells us. In this way, I can tailor our work together to your needs, fostering real changes in your life. This is particularly important when the impact of past traumas makes life's challenges more difficult to face. I offer a safe and supportive space to take stock of where you are, and help you unleash the positive change you desire. Ready to do the work? Take the first step.
