• REBT Therapist

My therapeutic stance stems primarily from Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) originated and developed by Albert Ellis. REBT is a specific approach which falls under the Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy school of thought. I practice REBT as a problem-focused, solution-driven approach through which we can uncover how you may be unwittingly distressing yourself (emotionally, behaviourally, cognitively) by holding rigid and extreme attitudes about the adversities you may encounter in life. We can then collaboratively work toward having more flexible, non-extreme attitudes which are likely to lead to undisturbed, non-distressed and healthier emotions, more helpful thoughts and goal-directed behaviours. I may also integrate strategies from other approaches including and not limited to Behavioral, Cognitive, other Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused, Assertiveness training, Dialectical Behavioral, Reality Therapy and Eclectic approaches if required to assist you with your unique concerns. I believe that clients are capable in deciding best, their desired goals from our therapeutic alliance. I serve the role of a facilitator in employing therapies, chosen as a result of a detailed conceptualization and research evidence, in order to help them gain the goals and independence they desire. Overall, what you can expect from therapy along with greater self-awareness and insight is, a problem focused and solution driven approach to help you reach your goals.
