I have worked extensively with people of varied cultures and family dynamics, and across a wide spectrum of presenting problems. My services are evidence based, which requires me to track outcomes and provide my clients with feedback surrounding their achievement of collaborative therapeutic goals. During your initial session I will listen to your experiences and then describe the preliminary approach I would take to help you address the challenge(s) that you are facing. During this initial session we can decide together if what I can offer would be helpful, and we will revisit objective measures of progress throughout therapy.
Clinical behaviour analysis focuses on observable behaviours that occur in an individual's environment, and the scenarios and skills that can help to increase or decrease targeted behaviours. The behaviour analytic approach helps people to identify patterns of behaviours that occur in response to environmental changes, with the goal of increased skills, effectiveness, success, happiness, and contentment for the individual seeking therapy.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique empirically based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with commitment and behaviour change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility means contacting the present moment fully as a conscious human being, and based on what the situation affords, changing or persisting in behaviour in the service of chosen values.

Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present. When you're mindful, you carefully observe your thoughts and feelings without judging them good or bad. Instead of letting your life pass you by, mindfulness means living in the moment and awakening to your current experience, rather than dwelling on the past or anticipating the future.
