PSYCHOTHERAPY
What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a science-based treatment approach to support mental health and wellness, emotional distress, life goals, overcoming challenges faced by individuals and more. With psychotherapy sessions, the psychotherapist collaborates with the client to help them unpack their struggles and challenges to bring positive change in thoughts, feelings, behaviour, and the therapy goals set by clients, which would help them live an authentic life that resonates with them.
Psychotherapy is a collaborative journey where the client takes the primary role in what they want to discuss in the sessions. Their therapist holds a safe and non-judgemental space for them to explore thoughts, feelings, emotions, behaviour patterns, process traumatic memories, nightmares, dreams, goals and life stressors by using science-based psychotherapy modalities. The therapist’s role is to ask questions that would help them seek their answers, validate their emotions and feelings, and hold a safe space to heal. Psychotherapy focuses on building a therapeutic relationship with trust and safety, ensuring the client feels secure and comfortable in their healing process.
Mental health and healing are not linear, so a holistic approach to psychotherapy helps clients enhance their overall wellbeing. As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, certified in various somatic therapy modalities such as yoga, meditation, and energy healing, my approach to psychotherapy is integrated, science-based, and holistic.

Next Steps
Step 1: 15 minutes free consultation
Book a free 15-minute video consultation. During this meeting, we will discuss what brought you to therapy and what you are looking for. I will then explain my approach to therapy to know if we are a good fit and what works for you in therapy, if you have been in therapy before. Finding a ‘good fit’ in therapy means that you feel comfortable and understood by your therapist, and that you trust their expertise and guidance. We will discuss the fees, administration-related information and availability.
Throughout the consultation, you can ask any questions because psychotherapy sessions are very personal, and it is essential to find a good fit.
Step 2: Intake Appointment
During the first session, we will discuss your reasons for attending therapy. This means I will ask you questions about your past and present situations, sleep and routine. This session will help you learn more about your therapy goals. We will collaboratively create your therapy journey, which means how the sessions will look, the frequency of the initial few sessions, which modalities you resonate with, and how we can customize it for your healing journey.
Step 3: Healing, Growth and Change Begins
From this session onwards, the psychotherapy work begins. Remember that therapy is not used
to fix your past or present; it helps you re-discover more about yourself, your thought process,
beliefs, patterns, and your self-talk and gradually change non-serving narratives in life.
Looking forward to being a part of your healing journey while holding a safe and non-judgmental
space for you.
