Christine Nabukeera,

I have assisted individuals, groups, and communities with various needs throughout my professional career. I provide talk therapy and counselling to adults experiencing anxiety, marginalization in the workplace, family violence, depression, grief and bereavement, low self-esteem, significant life transitions, including the mental health effects of violent displacement caused by wars and conflicts.

I will work with you as you explore new coping strategies to resolve or make those disrupting thoughts less painful. My work involves collaborative engagement with you to create a safe and supportive space, free from judgment, leading to a deep, full of feeling sessions in a warm and confidential setting where you can explore your thoughts and challenges.

My approach to counselling is client-centred, strength-based, trauma informed with sensitivity to diverse human experiences and cultural differences. I draw from various evidenced-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-based Therapy or Person-centred Therapy to create an intervention plan for you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the thinking patterns that disrupt your life.

My approach helps you to listen to the various inner voices and explore your mind, feelings, and emotions. You will then share your concerns, find neglected aspects of your life, manage disruptive thought forms, and make decisions for a brighter future.

I successfully completed my doctoral studies from York University, Toronto, and Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). Generally, my studies concentrated on social work practice with individuals, groups, and communities.

I come with a personal and professional responsibility and a commitment to walk with you as you share your story with me. You and I together will experience things that have never been experienced by any of us. Regardless of how and what you decide to share, I am happy to be part of this exploration!
