About Me
Who am I?
Hi, I am Nivi.
I am a clinical psychologist who focuses on providing trustworthy psychotherapy and counselling therapy to my clients. My goal is to help people reach their goals in life and guide them through the ups and downs of their journey.
I see myself as a detective, finding clues and keys that slowly lead to the doors of the mind. I believe the essential tools I have in my toolkit are my listening skills, adaptability, and unbiased responses. Hence, the more experience I gain, the more efficient I become. As a motivated self-employed psychologist, I have recently opened my private practice to make online therapy even more accessible.
What makes me worth your time?
You are at the centre of my focus as all my consultations are client-based. This means that I try my best to give objective unbiased guidance while keeping my client's best interest in mind. I believe that psychotherapy should be designed to adapt to each individual person which is why I prefer an integrative method where I use cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamics techniques and positive interventions depending on the client's needs. Thus, your time and effort will be valued.
Are you a parent looking for support?
As a clinical psychologist with a specialization in child and parent psychology, my area of expertise is indeed child development and child-parent relationships. This means that I am equipped to deal with a wide range of psychological disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Conduct Disorder (CD), etc. I also help with childhood/teenage concerns ranging from developmental milestones, learning difficulties, coping mechanisms, adaptation problems, to stress, etc. Additionally, I make sure that parents understand the meanings behind each action or behaviour of their child. This promotes meaningful interactions and secure child-parent attachment (Attachment Theory). I also provide guidance to children and adolescents and help them face the adversities of life and become the best versions of themselves.
You are not a child, teenager nor a parent?
With training as a clinical psychologist, I possess the knowhow to help and support individuals who experience stress, anxiety, depression, coping problems, mood shifts, self-harm and the like. Thus, I also provide consultations services to clients who have mental health problems such as anxiety disorders including generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, phobias, social anxiety disorder, Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD) and PTSD, depression disorders, bipolar and mood disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, etc. Therefore, people have a safe place where they can express their emotions freely and they know that they are not alone even when they are going through a mental health crisis. And you are not alone in this fight.
