Mo is a social worker with a therapy approach centered on collaboration. He believes that what matters most is how a client and therapist work together. He believes that a strong, trusting relationship is at the core of meaningful therapy. His role is to understand what you want from therapy and how to best support you.

As someone who grew up in different countries, he brings a broad perspective to understanding what impacts you. Rather than viewing individuals in a vacuum, he uses an approach that considers all the relationships in your life as well as the influence of systemic issues.

In his previous work as a lawyer, his clients often suffered the effects of structural inequalities that legal solutions alone couldn’t address. This led him to pursue social work, where he could focus on offering deeper support to individuals facing these challenges.

Mo draws from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). But ultimately, it’s not about the modality—it’s about what works best for you, the client.
