How would you describe your Professional Approach and Style?
Vince's integrative therapeutic approach combines Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Psychodynamic principles, and Existential philosophy. He believes in exploring both the conscious and unconscious aspects of his clients' experiences, addressing their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to uncover deep-seated patterns and beliefs. Through REBT, Vince helps clients challenge and change irrational beliefs, fostering healthier emotional responses. The psychodynamic approach allows for delving into past experiences and understanding their impact on present behavior, while existential philosophy encourages clients to find meaning and purpose in their lives. Vince creates a collaborative and supportive environment that empowers clients to achieve personal growth and well-being.

He typically works with a diverse age range, from young adults to individuals in the later stages of life.
