I believe in treating the person as a whole by not just helping them to manage their physical, mental, emotional symptoms but also addressing their social, environmental any other barriers that may be hampering the individual’s ability to reach their maximum potential despite their condition.

I believe that the first step in therapy is to connect and form a therapeutic rapport with my client to form a greater understanding of their precipitating, perpetuating and predisposing factors. After which I can helping them to gain a better understanding and self-awareness of their condition. Provide individualised tailor made treatment plans using some of the above listed therapy approaches to help them through their recovery journey of acceptance, adapting, adjusting and accommodating.

I find great joy in helping my client feel empowered and enabled, so that they feel like they are able to confidently self-manage thereby feeling more in control of their condition and no longer symptom lead.

I use the person’s meaningful and purposeful occupations (not just work/study but also their valued activities) to motivate them to engage in therapy and then to rehabilitate them back into their desired occupations.
