Approach to EMDR & How I Work

Although, CBT is my main modality of therapy, I am also trained in IPT for depression and EMDR for trauma and addictions. I can take an integrative approach to therapy depending on the individual needs of the clients. I use third wave CBT approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focus Therapy (CFT), Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET).

I have vast experience of working with various services which have diverse population. Hence, I have a very good understanding of the psychological problems of the those communities and the cultural and religious issues and complexity associated with that as well as how to overcome those.

As I am trained in various modality of therapy approaches, I can be integrative in my therapeutic approaches and depending their needs, I am able to adapt a tailored treatment plan for individual clients.
