Approach
I use the Humanistic Integrative therapy approach which is a combination of Person-Centered, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, and a few elements of CBT.
This approach is non-directive but structured, empathic, non-judgmental, humanistic, compassionate. It offers clients a safe space to share whatever is in their hearts and mind. With this approach clients usually feel secure to reveal their real selves.
It helps clients to:
- Gain self-confidence
- Have a strong self-belief and self-concept
- Enhance self-esteem
- Lower anxiety or any other unsettling emotions
- Live in the present moments
- Locus on individual inner emotional and psychological process
- Connect and heal trauma or distress related to childhood
- Improve self-image and lower down self-critique
- Strengthen inner validation and locus of evaluation
- Become emotionally fit and independent
My aim as a psychotherapist
- To provide support to people, groups, communities, countries in distressful times
- Helping individuals to manage their mental health
- Spread awareness of psychological and emotional health
Additional facts about my Practice

- I respect and maintain privacy of my clients which help my clients to develop a trustable therapeutic relationship
- In my practice, usually it takes 5-6 sessions when my clients start managing their complex emotions like anxiety and thinking pattern (If clients are regular in sessions).
