"My approach is client-centred. I believe that everyone has the ability to recover and the strength to fulfil their potential. By creating a safe and supportive space, I help clients make sense of their past and present experiences, uncover the root causes of their challenges and explore different options for personal growth in order to move towards a more fulfilling future."
Tina integrates various therapeutic modalities, includes CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, tailoring her approach to meet each client's unique needs. Tina's strong research and academic background have allowed her to develop evidence-based clinical thinking across a wide range of clinical conditions. Her community psychology background also strengthens her perspectives on the social conditions as a context for individual wellbeing.
