Welcome! I'm a trained counsellor proudly rooted in Singapore, a place I call home.

 

Drawing inspiration from Carl Rogers, who profoundly stated, "When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity, then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance… provides illumination and healing. In such situations, deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another."

​

Guided by this philosophy, my mission is to offer a compassionate and empathetic presence to those navigating challenging times.  My aim is to provide a safe and empathetic space, supporting you through those moments when being alone feels difficult. I'm here to extend my support and share my counseling expertise with anyone in need. Together, we can navigate life's complexities, fostering personal growth and healing.

Why Choose Me?

​

Life's challenges can often make us feel isolated and misunderstood. I understand how well-meaning advice like "Stay positive" or "Count your blessings" can feel during tough times. Instead, I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can be truly heard and understood. I am here to extend a helping hand, offering presence and empathy.

​

​

My approach

​

I have successfully supported clients in:

• Acknowledging and Healing from Pain and Grief: Helping clients to recognize and process their emotions.

• Talking about Difficult Topics: Creating a safe space for clients to discuss challenging and sensitive issues.

• Healthy Emotional Responses: Guiding clients to learn respond to anxiety and negative thoughts in a healthy manner.

• Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation: Integrating mindfulness practices into daily life.

• Values-Guided Living: Assisting in discovering and pursuing a meaningful life aligned with personal values.

• Distress Tolerance Skills: Equipping clients with skills to manage and tolerate distressing emotions effectively.

Feel free to reach out and begin your journey towards emotional well-being and resilience with me.
