About Me | Hi! A bit of reading here, for serious people only: I'm sure there are some well-meaning listeners on this site who can listen to rants (for whatever that is worth), but I would be concerned about anonymous listeners who might be judgmental, impatient, just offering their opinions as advice, or maybe even trolling and harassing for kicks. I offer real counseling and psychotherapy, which starts out as empathetic listening, but grows into a more involved process of understanding yourself, managing your relationships, and growing as a person who can function well and problem-solve in their own life. I'm an MA candidate in Counseling Psychology. That means I'm finished three years of full-time graduate course work at a major university, and am now gaining experience in dealing with clientele in order to become licensed. I have additional training in cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnosis, Gottman couples therapy, Solution-focused brief therapy, and familiarity with several other types of therapy. Also, please note my age: I have various personal and family experiences that provide me a mature and open-minded outlook. I work with individuals or couples, but not children or adolescents. I am a Canadian male, but based overseas. (GMT +8) I'm not really here to chat online, as not much real progress can be made that way, it's too inefficient and not very nuanced. A lot more gets communicated in other ways, so I work by Skype, by voice, and preferably on webcam. Any chats here, and the first little bit on Skype is free, so that we can get to know each other and I can begin to understand your situation and concerns. If we both want to proceed, I then charge for a low fee, $30 per hour, which only begins to pay for my professional supervisor to review my recorded sessions with you. I maintain your confidentiality, and I always follow the ethics and responsibilities of the psychology profession. If you have a significant concern and want to have a trustworthy and truly helpful experience, please introduce yourself! I look forward to speaking with you. Andre |
