Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common inquiries and insights to guide you forward.
  • What is the difference between a Counsellor and a Psychologist?
    Psychologists and counsellors both support mental health but differ in training and focus. Psychologists typically hold a doctoral degree and are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including severe disorders like depression and schizophrenia. They use evidence-based therapies and conduct psychological assessments. Counsellors, who usually hold a master’s degree, focus on helping clients with specific life challenges, such as stress, grief, or relationships, using practical, goal-oriented approaches. Unlike psychologists, counselors do not typically diagnose severe conditions or perform testing. Both aim to improve mental well-being and may collaborate for comprehensive client care.

  • What is your approach to therapy?
    My approach is grounded in mindfulness, compassion, and a person-centered perspective. Each therapy session is tailored to suit individual needs. While the names of techniques like CBT or ACT may seem complex, I ensure clients understand them clearly, making the journey comfortable and empowering. My core values—compassion, trust, and non-judgment—guide every interaction.
  • What is the importance of regular mental health care?
    Taking care of mental health is as vital as addressing physical needs like eating or exercising. Regular mental health care helps tackle challenges before they grow, builds resilience, and enhances overall well-being. By maintaining mental health, we equip ourselves to handle life’s hurdles with strength and positivity.
