Approaches
I use a compassion based, client-centred approach, and prefer to work experientially, which allows me to practically address problems that affect a client’s ability to function at work, school, home or in social situations. I present therapy in either individual sessions or group therapy sessions, depending on what would be most effective for the client.
I use the following evidence-based approaches in my work:
Compassion based Mindfulness Approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
The Model of Creative Ability
Vocational Rehabilitation
I also conduct Functional Capacity Evaluations for incapacity investigations and insurance claims, and have a post-graduate qualification in Vocational Rehabilitation. I provide case management services to employers and wellness organizations, make recommendations on adaptations to improve work functioning, and develop and implement return to work plans and work hardening programmes.
