MY APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH

My approach to mental health:

I endeavor to offer comprehensive, tailored and holistic treatment plans for my clients. I believe in promoting a healthy style of living and providing psycho-education as a way to help my patients understand and be better able to deal with their psychological, emotional or mental health problems.
Your Initial Consultation will consist of a clinical assessment. The purpose is to build up a clinical picture as accurate as possible of your needs, in order to decide what intervention or support might be the most suitable for you.

MY APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH



When appropriate, I combine a full medication plan with a range of psychotherapeutic interventions, providing psychological support and intervention based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Systemic Therapy and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy principles.
I apply a Positive Psychiatry approach, helping clients to enhance performance in their personal and work life, to reduce distress and to acquire a satisfying self and interpersonal balance.
MY APPROACH TO MEDICATION

My approach to medication: 

I have extensive experience in using medication to treat mental health problems. However, in most cases I also explore other options, including psycho-education, talking therapy or lifestyle changes (among others), before considering starting a new medication.
I endeavour to empower my patients to be part of the decision-making process regarding the best medication and treatment plan, by discussing the various options including any potential side effects of the medication.
