Dr. Pinaud’s approach consists of developing a systematic case plan with the client  from the client’s particular history and the answers being provided to an extensive series of questions. Once the customized case plan has been established in consultation with the client, then they are ready to proceed with addressing selected issues.

Dr. Pinaud does not make premature assumptions or interject opinions until he has an in-depth understanding of the client’s goals. Their interest is what will dictate the progression of therapy. On the other hand, he does not sit back and say little but will offer suggestions when requested or challenge his clients when appropriate. Dr. Pinaud is not a passive counsellor but involved as a real and caring person.
