dc.description.abstractThis capstone research project challenges traditional perceptions of mental health care by advocating for the integration of lightness, joy, and playfulness in therapeutic interactions. Through a personal lens and professional experience, the author explores the impact of humour on clients' well-being and the therapeutic relationship. By emphasizing inclusivity, compassion, and the therapeutic benefits of humour, this study aims to create a more accessible and supportive mental health landscape. This work sheds light on the importance of cultivating a space where individuals feel empowered to seek counselling with ease and confidence, ultimately fostering healing and growth infused with laughter and joy.
