ABOUT ME
I am here to support you on your journey to completeness by fostering an understanding of worthiness, connection, and compassion.
Hello! I’m J’elle.
I am a Counselling Psychologist who has been counselling professionally since 2012; with my years of experience including both the Public and Private Sector. I have a passion for helping people, especially with personal, emotional and interpersonal development and growth. I believe that feeling incomplete can manifest itself in various ways, many of which are unhealthy. As a result, I aim to support persons on their journey to healing and wholeness, through the provision of therapeutic and facilitation services.
My Approach & Values
My primary theoretical orientation is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with elements of Person Centred/Rogerian Therapy. With these, I aim to help my clients recognize the primary source of change comes from their thought patterns. This, in turn, impacts their feelings and behavioural patterns. My philosophy is that all clients have the capacity for change; it’s the willingness that makes the difference. When clients come before me in the counselling space, it indicates to me that there is a willingness to do the work required to effect real change. My role in the counselling process is to help guide clients along their journey of self-mastery and self-discovery as they treat with the various issues they grapple with. I hope to provide insight and perspective that will be beneficial in facilitating their growth.
My Education and Experience
I hold a Masters of Education (M.Ed) in Counselling Psychology with a specialization in Community Counselling/Clinical Mental Health Counselling from Howard University; as well as a Bachelors of Science (B.Sc) in Psychology from the University of the West Indies (UWI), St. Augustine Campus. I currently serve on the Executive of the Trinidad and Tobago Association of Psychologists (TTAP), as the Public Relations Officer (2019-2021).
