Cognitive Behavioural Therapist

Introduction
The overall aim of counselling is to effect change in emotions and/or behaviours through shifts in thinking and to develop skills for more effective functioning. Most relationship problems can be improved by identifying disparities in values, beliefs and assumptions between the parties as well as by learning more effective communication skills, among other strategies.
My role is to guide your way through the change, using your existing strengths and by learning useful strategies and tools to achieve your goals. The service is multi-cultural and inter-faith by being sensitive to the ethnic, socio-economic, gender, racial and religious background of clients.
The length of a typical session is approximately 1 hour. Change is a gradual process and the number and frequency of sessions depends on the client(s) and the nature of their concerns.

Specialisations and Expertises
The length of a typical session is approximately 1 hour. Change is a gradual process and the number and frequency of sessions depends on the client and the nature of their concerns.
I recommend weekly sessions to retain the momentum, provide opportunities to practise skills both in-session and between sessions and to monitor progress. I find that a minimum of 5 sessions for low-level severity, to a maximum of 30 sessions for highly severe conditions, has been found to be effective.
Progress is measured in many ways:
- Administering screening questionnaires at the beginning (baseline), and throughout therapy
- Monitoring of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound) goals
- Self-report by the client(s)
Most common issues I support people with:
- Communication
- Problem-Solving
- Conflict Resolution/Management
- Trust and Intimacy
