While Gurpreet has worked with people of all age groups, his interest lies particularly in working with children, adolescents and their families. He adopts a preventative stance to mental health and believes that the cultivation of mental well-being habits during the formative years of a child’s life has a profound positive impact on development.

Gurpreet has also conducted research to explore the relationship between excessive use of social media and stress management, an arising issue of our current times.

Gurpreet is a firm believer that every individual deserves a safe, non-judgmental space to feel heard and to express their feelings. He practices a strengths-based, person-centered approach and believes it is imperative to empower individuals to help heal emotional wounds so that they can lead meaningful lives.  He feels that it is important to acknowledge a person’s unique strengths and weakness and believes that the therapeutic process can be a place to not only share difficult experiences but also positive ones too, as the sharing of positive experiences are integral to empowering the individual to develop their own coping mechanisms to overcome their difficulties. Gurpreet hopes for every client to believe that recovery is possible despite their struggles and that with the right support, they can lead a flourishing life.  

 

Gurpreet holds the view that everyone faces challenges in their lives and could benefit from having therapeutic support to foster healthy coping mechanisms to protect their well-being. He strives to create a space of co-production with every client where they are guided to navigate their own recovery by helping them to make sense of their experience. Gurpreet is also passionate about fostering emotional literacy particularly for his younger clients as he feels that gaining an understanding of one’s own emotions is a powerful tool for promoting self-acceptance.
