Mr Douglas Amonite

Art Therapist

Verified

“I am a fully trained Mental Health Practitioner and Art Therapist. My work combines counselling techniques with wellness coaching strategies to create a space that feels safe, comfortable, and supportive. I provide counselling that is responsive to your individual needs, taking into account how you process information, communicate, and what your goals and expectations are.”

About Me

Originally from Toronto, Canada, a city rich in cultural diversity, I’m familiar with an incredible variety of cultures, customs, and ways of being. Now living in Spain, I know very well the exhilaration and challenges of relocating to a completely new culture. Apart from my passion as a mental health practitioner, I love being physically active... and living in a beautiful city like Valencia... on the shores of the Mediterranean, is a dream come true. I am passionate about cycling, swimming, hiking and horse riding. I also love drawing and painting, and am not too bad in the kitchen! I work in private practice, and continue to present my work internationally.

Approach

My approach is eclectic... drawing on positive psychology and motivational methods such as wellness enhancement and life coaching.Whether using a single approach or a combination of them, the focus is always on building from your existing strengths and resilience, because that is the foundation of my work.
