More about Hamid

  • 17 years' experience
  • Male
  • NCPS

For nearly two decades, I value providing a kind, compassionate, supportive experience and treating everyone with respect. ​

​I use the principles of Metacognitive Therapy (MCT), Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing for Addiction, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and CBT as my integrative approach to helping my clients.

I use Systematic Couple Therapy to help families and couples address their issues. This therapeutic approach is grounded in the understanding that the quality of relationships within a couple or family significantly influences individual well-being and mental health. By focusing on the interactions and communication patterns between partners or family members, Systematic Couple Therapy aims to identify and modify dysfunctional behaviours and dynamics.

I offer Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, which is a short-term goal-focused therapeutic approach to anyone looking to improve their mental health and well-being with tools and techniques. My vision is to use my skills and professional training to tailor a treatment for my client's needs effectively.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
