Andrew Manousselis

I am a licensed Psychologist specializing in individual care, I have been trained in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Body Psychotherapy (Wilhelm Reich approach) , Workplace & personnel Psychology and various coaching methods. I prioritize the creation of a safe, active-listening environment to allow room for my clients' emotional expression and presentation of issues. I am well versed with issues of anger, anxiety, depression, family trauma and LGBTQ+. My therapeutic plan involves three-phases; - Introduction, where the client presents their issues and we explore the contents aiming to identify the goals of our therapeutic relationship. - Formulation, with the topics of interest defined and the therapeutic goals set, we begin to unpack each topic and proceed with actively exploring them. The aim of this phase is the development of coping strategies and the introduction of adaptive thinking patterns to replace problematic ones. This is the longest phase in the therapeutic relationship and where the client creates and learns new ways of processing and interacting with their world. - Conclusion, the shortest phase, is where the client has already had time to implement what they have learned and created during our therapeutic journey. The goal of this phase is to reinforce and assist the client in securing the fruits of their progress as they prepare to move on from the therapeutic relationship. The journey to healing is unique to each individual, is never straight forward or always comfortable which is why I see it as my responsibility to support and guide my clients as they discover themselves and how to walk their own path.
