APPROACH TO TREATMENT

Person-centred care is at the core of Matthew’s philosophy as a burgeoning mental health care clinician. This means that the client is the focal point of therapy, and everything is being conceived through their lens and worldview. He understands that each client has a unique point of view that is influenced by their background, personal challenges as well as past experiences with therapy. As such, he is sensitive to his client’s needs and works collaboratively on their therapeutic journey. Fostering a strong, trust-filled therapeutic bond is at the forefront of his priorities with his clients. Matthew also leans on tenets from the Strength-Based therapeutic modality as well as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
