Forward Counselling & Psychotherapy

About

I am a Certified Trauma Professional (by PESI); thus, the Healing-Centered Engagement represents an essential part of my approach. I sincerely believe in universality of human experiences and vitality inherent in human nature, regardless of any hardships. In other words, my psychotherapy has always been life-affirming and driven by the message, "What's RIGHT with you?"

Also, my counseling range includes but is not limited to Existential-Humanistic Therapy, DBT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Attachment Theory, and Erik Erickson's Theory of Psycho-Social Development.

Among the overabundance of areas, I have a special interest in life transitions such as leaving parental home, dynamics in relationships, empty nesting, midlife issues, career transitions, acculturation and adaptation in a new society, and so forth.

Throughout my life journey, I have always had a passion for working with mental health conditions. Before immigrating to Canada, I had been a medical doctor in two countries for over ten years. Irrespective of the circumstances of time and place, the psychological well-being of my clients has always been a priority to me.

As such, for me being a clinical counselor in Canada appears a natural extension of my health care professional's career. I graduated from City University of Seattle (Vancouver Campus) with the Master's Degree in Counseling. Currently, I hold the designations of a Registered Clinical Counselor, and a Canadian Certified Counselor.
