I enjoy working with families, couples, children, adolescents, youth and adults.  I have a keen interest in supporting individuals in core areas that enhance self–development and self-understanding. I view these areas as one of the many paths to navigate, explore, and manage unique life experiences and challenges.

More About Dotun Ogunfowora

I support individuals with a diverse lens infused with concepts such as self–efficacy, mindfulness, unconditional respect and dignity. I tailor each support using theoretical frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Exposure Therapy, and concepts of Mindfulness.

I have experience supporting individuals in multiple areas stress management, burnout, phobias, self-harm, self-esteem, anxiety, loss and grief, emotional regulation, attention and focus (ADHD), depression, parenting, marriage, healthier boundaries, and life stage transitions. I am comfortable with the “censored” areas of life experiences including sexual health and financial health. also specialize in assessments such as Parenting Capacity, Psychosocial-educational (Intelligent Quotient (IQ / giftedness, Learning Challenges), as well as other socio-emotional and behavioural needs). I provide professional and comprehensive psychological assessments to children, adolescents and adults, and provide the families and school professionals with practical information that can further support the individual’s overall day to day learning, personal development, and general well-being. The outcomes from these assessments also provide the opportunity to identify areas of strength and growth.
