Hi there! My name is Shiny, I'm an occupational therapist dedicated towards promoting mental wellbeing and daily functioning through a client-centered and strength-based approach. I have areas of focus in supporting clients with chronic illnesses, disabilities and neurodivergent clients. I'm passionate about helping people develop holistic strategies to support their daily functioning and improve their quality of life.

Therapeutic approaches
These are the approaches at the heart of my work, and I use them often because they help create meaningful change:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT is an approach that helps to develop psychological flexibility, allowing a more peaceful and less judgmental relationship with our thoughts and feelings. A key aspect of ACT is engaging in committed action that aligns with your personal values - in other words, "do what matters to you"!
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on the three aspects of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. CBT can be really helpful for reframing unhelpful thoughts that are getting in the way of the things that you want to do.
Focused populations and cultural backgrounds
These are the communities and cultural backgrounds I focus on, and I bring a sincere commitment to supporting you in a way that feels respectful and genuine:

Chronically Ill People
Neurodivergent Clients
