About Me

I am passionate about working with teens and adults (individuals, couples and families). I use a humanistic and experiential approach, as well as mindfulness and cognitive-based disciplines to offer mental health counselling for individuals; utilise research-based assessments and interventions, as well as attachment science to help couples strengthen their relationships and marriages; individuals with their families members build supportive family systems.  

I provide pre-marital and relationship counselling. I help committed couples to gain understanding of their relationship dynamics, strength and growth areas; heal and rebuild trust after affairs/ traumas; facilitate couples to heal and recover from addictive behaviours; facilitate couples to cope with their problems/ conflicts in constructive ways; enrich their relationships through pre-marital and relationship counselling.

I facilitate parents in helping them to recover their confidence to contribute to their child's wellbeing and responsibility. 

I help individuals/ with their family members to address barriers, better communicate with each other, develop closer emotional bonding to build a more harmonious and supportive family system; address conflicts among family members (including intergenerational relationships, in-laws, extended family, etc.); develop coping strategies to navigate transitions or crises.

I am also experienced in helping individuals with attachment issues, relationship issues, life transitions, stress, procrastination, perfectionism behaviours, low self-esteem, sleeping problems, depression, anger management issues, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety and phobias, management roles readiness, workplace relationships, people communication and management skills, grief and loss, trauma, emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
I have been providing individual’s mental health, couple and family counselling in clinical settings. I worked with international schools in providing counselling to children, adolescents and families; corporates in providing training in managing mental health in the workplace. 

I meet my clients with unconditional positive regard to join them at where they are in a genuine, supportive and nonjudgmental way in their healing journey. I hold and soothe them with relentless empathy in a secure-base therapeutic alliance where clients can feel comfortable to take risks with me as their companion to go into what is foreign, strange, dangerous, scary, sad, unbearably stressful, painful or unacceptable in their inner lives and face their vulnerabilities together. I help them see the processes in which they are caught in with their emotions and with other people; reorganise their inner world that makes sense of their lives; find their emotional balance and redirect those processes into new directions.
