She uses a problem-focused and action-oriented approach to dealing with problems. She feels that if the way in which we think about a particular problem changes, then our behaviour will automatically change along with those thought processes. To this end, she uses Cognitive Behaviour Therapy techniques to help individuals deal with their problems. She strongly advocates positive psychology and holds the humanistic view that each individual has the potential for self-actualization and possesses the necessary tools to lead a satisfying life. She is very keen on helping these individuals to identify these tools and use them effectively.
