Mental health is a positive concept related to the wellbeing of people and communities. The concept relates to the enjoyment of life, ability to cope with stress and sadness, the fulfilment of goals and potential, and a sense of connection to others. Mental health is about wellness rather than illness and is not merely the absence of a psychiatric disorder. Like physical health, mental health is not fixed, rather it exists on a continuum, or range: from positive, healthy functioning at one end through to severe symptoms of mental health disorders at the other. A person’s mental health moves back and forth along this range during their lifetime, in response to different stressors and circumstances. Just as poor physical health can cause physical illness, poor mental health can lead to mental health problems.
Each person’s story is unique, which is why an individual and flexible approach to counseling can`t be overemphasized. As a psychologist, I value a collaborative approach that reflects each person’s unique goals and values. While counseling, I use a variety of evidence-based approaches and best practices that have stood the test of time.
I mainly use CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy), MI (motivational interview) and various coaching techniques. Over the years, I have worked with adolescents (worked as a school psychologist and as a psychology teacher) and adults, both in the public and private sectors. For the past few years, I have worked mostly as a mental health advisor, consulting companies on topics surrounding mental health and well-being at work, developing frameworks for health promotion and providing individual counseling sessions and resilience trainings to support the mental and physical health of employees, thereby promoting health behaviors in the workplace. I have a degree in Psychology (MA) and over the years I have attended various in-service trainings and courses. I am a certified worksite wellness program manager.
The rule of thumb would be the following – if you feel that it has become more difficult to cope with problems and attend to routine daily activities, then it would be a good idea to see a psychologist.
