Warm and Holistic Clinical Psychology withMona Ghafourian - Clinical Psychologist

As a registered clinical psychologist, I offer a warm, empathic approach to therapy, dedicated to helping a diverse range of clients navigate their unique challenges. My practice is built on understanding the whole person and considering various factors that may contribute to your concerns.

Approach and Experience:

• Holistic Approach: I take the time to get to know you and explore the multiple aspects of your life that may be influencing your current issues. This comprehensive view helps in addressing the root causes of your difficulties.
• Varied Experience: I have worked in both private and hospital settings, treating a broad spectrum of issues including:
  • Anxiety and Stress
  • Mood Disorders
  • Anger Issues
  • Low Self-Esteem and Confidence
  • Relationship and Personal Issues

Therapeutic Skills and Techniques:

I use a range of evidence-based therapy skills tailored to your specific needs:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Aims to help with emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
• Schema Therapy: Addresses deeply ingrained patterns of thinking and behavior.
• Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT): Focuses on building self-compassion and reducing shame.
• Emotion-Focused Therapy: Helps in processing and understanding emotions.
• Mindfulness: Encourages being present and aware of your thoughts and feelings.
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Aids in accepting difficult emotions and committing to actions aligned with your values.

Therapeutic Environment:

I provide a non-judgmental and safe space where you can connect with your inner world—thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Learning coping skills and gaining deeper insights into your emotions can be transformative.
