​

Hello! I’m Sandhya, a mental health professional based in Singapore. I’m available for sessions in-person and online.

​

We all need a little support sometimes. Life can be messy and overwhelming with so much on our plate. It helps to take a step back and look at things from a different perspective, to have someone hear you out, or to simply have some company along the way.

​

Why speak to me?

​

I’ve helped people through:

​

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Trauma

  • Chronic illness and pain

  • Neurodiversity (ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism and others)

  • Grief & loss

  • Stress & burnout

  • Phobias

  • Relationship issues

  • Addiction

  • Emotional regulation

  • Professional & personal goals

  • Self-discovery

​

My Approach

 

As a trained counsellor, I provide clients with a safe space to explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences. While it may not seem like there is much going on, when we take the time to dig a bit deeper we’re often surprised by what we find.

 

While I am trained in a number of approaches, I mostly draw on techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy in my sessions. I'm also trained in trauma modalities.
 

Having been through my own journey with mental health, I understand how isolating and overwhelming it can be. Through the process of therapy, I want my clients to know that they are not alone and to feel empowered to work through their challenges and create the life they want for themselves.

​

A Little More About Me

 

I have over a decade of experience working in people and community development. Outside of counselling, I work with several non-profit organizations dedicated to families, children and youth, and differently-abled communities.

​

Some things I love - reading, stand-up comedy, hiking, diving, and spending time with family and friends. I’m a terrible cook but remain hopeful.​

​

I provide counselling services in English, and can speak basic Bahasa Indonesia and French. I’m also currently learning Arabic.

Client Reviews!

​"She was very understanding of it being my first time coming to therapy, and made it a point to mention that it takes courage to start. She heard me out without judgement and pointed out several insightful facts, and even provided me with additional readings and resources when I asked for them.

While arranging appointments, Sandhya was also smooth and adaptable.

I'm better equipped to deal with my problems now thanks to her guidance, and she puts no pressure in asking me to return for a next session, which I appreciate a lot."
