MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Founder of Inner Wellness Psychotherapy
Greetings,
Kayla Ortese integrates academic excellence with clinical proficiency to guide individuals towards healing, growth, and balance. With a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, Canada, she has a deep understanding of psychological principles, therapeutic techniques, and behavioral interventions. Additionally, her Postgraduate Diplomas in Applied Behavior Analysis from Humber College, Canada, and in Education from th National Teachers Institute, Abuja, Nigeria, enhance her ability to address various mental health issues and facilitate meaningful change. Completing her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology at Benue State University, Makurdi, Nigeria, has fortified her foundation in supporting individuals through their therapeutic journey.
In resonance with Freud, I believe that therapy extends “Beyond the Couch,” embracing a holistic journey that incorporates mind, body, and spirit. I perceive life’s trials as catalysts for personal evolution, acknowledging the profound beauty that can emerge amidst adversity. My curiosity about the complexities of the human experience informs my therapeutic approach, drawing inspiration from the natural cycles observed in the world around us, such as the metamorphosis of a butterfly and the growth of a flower.
What Sets Me Apart?
What sets me apart is my integration of diverse evidence-based practices into my therapy approach. I draw from trauma informed care practices, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy (NT), Schema Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Self-Compassion Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). My aim is to cultivate a culturally sensitive atmosphere where I honor and respect each client’s lived experiences and beliefs. Grounded in proven methods, my approach ensures effectiveness in addressing your specific challenges.
I believe a journey of a thousand miles starts with an intention before a step. With this ethos, I adopt an intentional therapeutic stance, collaboratively engaging with you to cultivate awareness of your journey’s processes and progress. I view the human journey as a series of seasons, each with its unique phases of growth, pruning, metamorphosis, and blooming.
Transformative Journey
In therapy, I collaborate with clients to navigate these seasons, supporting their path toward inner wellness, growth, transformation, and resilience. My profound insight enables me to guide clients through their transformative processes, fostering empowerment and self-discovery along their unique paths to healing, growth, and balance. This journey led me to establish “Inner Wellness Psychotherapy,” where I collaboratively work with clients facing various challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, emotional regulation, life transitions, stress/burnout, gender issues, ADHD, autism, relational dynamics, PTSD, medical health anxiety, emotional trauma, intolerance of uncertainty, school, and work-related stressors, and more.
Empowerment and Discovery
With a client-centered and holistic approach, I strive to cultivate a safe and empathetic therapeutic environment, encouraging clients to embark on a transformative journey toward self-discovery, healing, personal growth, and balance. I support clients as they navigate life’s complexities, providing tools to empower them to achieve inner harmony and well-being. Through my practice, I aim to provide a nurturing space for clients to explore their inner resilience, embrace change, and blossom into their true selves.
Together, let’s discover and harness your inner strength as we navigate life’s intricate tapestry.
Your guide to Healing, Growth, and Balance begins here.
