Tomorrow doesn't have to be like yesterday. Let's make today the turning point.
An RP (Qualifying) with CRPO, I start with a patient-centred approach to gather as much information as possible, before the patient and I, through the therapeutic alliance, determine appropriate next steps, which can include approaches from various modalities, including cognitive behaviour therapy, exposure techniques, and sometimes incorporating mindfulness. I’m convinced that the complete approach to mental health treatment involves a biopsychosocial model. In this model, considerations about lifestyle factors that might not necessarily seem to be relevant to mental health — e.g., diet, exercise, meditation, sleep, social support, purposeful work/hobbies, etc. — are brimming with potential for positive emotional growth in a patient’s life. It seems to me that acknowledging these factors should be a key complement to more traditional counselling and psychotherapy techniques.
I aim to create a comfort zone where we can forge a therapeutic alliance. I will never tell you what to do. I will try to encourage you and challenge you on your journey toward your goals.
I’m available remotely, including evenings and weekends, and I offer free consultations.
Welcome, and let’s chat.
Meet the Business Owner: Edan T.
Since graduating with my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology in 2016, I’ve been working with patients from the general population through the effects of many difficulties, such as anxiety and depression. I have also spent a significant amount of time working with victims of motor vehicle accidents and their resultant PTSD, anxiety, and depression symptoms.
For four years I ran a monthly support group for people who were leaving or had left the religion that they were raised with. The discussions in this group were fascinating because I’m always grateful for the chance to learn from another’s background. I was recently accredited as a Humanist chaplain in the hopes of providing spiritual counselling for the non-religious.
I will never tell you what to do. But as we discuss your way forward, I will try to encourage and challenge you toward your goals. And maybe we can even share a laugh along the way.
