ADAM LAWLOR - ccc
Registered CLinical COunsellor
CERTIFIED TEACHER
Hello, my name is Adam. I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and over 14 years of experience in education as a teacher, administrator, and school counsellor. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with teenagers in diverse settings worldwide. I am dedicated to cultural competence and approach everyone with a belief in their inherent strengths and potential.
As a counsellor, I embody a non-judgmental and empathetic approach, prioritizing the establishment of a trusting therapeutic relationship. I am committed to collaboratively working with clients to define and achieve their goals, fostering a positive mindset throughout our journey together.
In my practice, I integrate a range of therapeutic modalities because I believe that oneapproach does not suit everyone. Central to my approach is a Client-Centered Approach, where I prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to feel heard, respected, and understood. I tailor therapy to each individual’s experiences, values, and goals, aiming to foster a genuine therapeutic relationship built on trust and mutual respect. Additionally, I draw from other effective modalities such as Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness techniques, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to support clients in achieving their therapeutic objectives.
Outside of work, I enjoy a variety of outdoor activities like hiking, golfing, and biking, which help me unwind and stay active. Quality time with my family is a priority, and I’m also an enthusiastic Toronto Raptors fan. I have a deep passion for travel, eagerly exploring new countries and immersing myself in diverse cultures.
I look forward to embarking on this therapeutic journey with you!
Adam
