Services
Counselling
Deciding to start counselling is a very courageous first step on the road to dealing with mental health problems. My approach to counselling is client-centred, biopsychosocial, and I make use of a number of therapeutic aids, e.g. mindfulness, DBT, music, art, creative writing, etc. I provide in-person as well as online counselling to individuals aged 16 years and older dealing with problems related to depression, anxiety, eating disorder, PTSD/trauma, and grief/loss. My counselling also addresses topics such as self-esteem, relationships, communication, boundaries, and life changes.
Psychological Assessments
When conducting psychological assessments or tests, I usually divide the process into three stages. To start with, I conduct a detailed interview with the client (and parents in case of a minor) in order to ascertain the exact goal of the assessment and expectation of the client. Thereafter, the actual test battery is administered, and finally, I provide feedback and a comprehensive written report with findings, conclusions and recommendations to the client.
I specialise in scholastic, subject choice and career guidance counselling, and have extensive experience in conducting intelligence, personality, emotional and cognitive assessments. Psychological testing is only done face-to-face and with any ages.
