Approach
Tim’s therapeutic orientation is grounded in person-centred therapy principles: reflective listening, empathy, and acceptance. He aims to create an environment that enables clients to feel safe discussing their past, current, or future challenges openly. He works with clients to collaboratively set therapeutic goals to ensure session content, discussions, and interventions meet therapeutic objectives.
Tim is passionate about helping people overcome their mental health difficulties and challenges. He helps clients build upon their existing skills and strengths while teaching new strategies and techniques to effectively self-manage complex thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Tim works collaboratively with clients to identify and overcome the obstacles that may hinder their ability to fulfil their potential and devises strategies to place them on a path of self-actualisation.
Tim utilises the bio-psycho-social model that considers the mind and body intertwined. The model stipulates that a person’s biological, psychological, and social states can positively or negatively impact their psychological health and emotional well-being. He examines this complex interaction to better understand the client’s mental health difficulties or psychological disorders, as well as to inform the most effective evidence-based interventions.
