About Me
For over two decades I’ve been privileged to have worked with patients in public institutions (e.g. Mount Elizabeth Hospital’s psychiatric ward, National Skin Centre’s DSC Clinic, Singapore Cancer Society), and clients in private practice.
My older-childhood memories were of spending time in school libraries poring over Psychology books, curious to know why people are the way they are. I was just always motivated to understand myself and others. In that process, I was searching to acquire meaningful constructs for navigating relationships and life. Everyone struggles at some point or other, and it is a human condition we cannot entirely avoid…. yet how do we learn to journey through this life as strengthened as we can be?
When I started studying Psychology in University, carved to a wall of one of the buildings were the words “Know Thyself!” With an exclamation mark! It felt to me like an exhortation, a passionate urging. I knew I had arrived where I needed to be, receiving an education in Psychology, and since then working in a role fully aligned to my self.
I’m a Person-Centred Therapist. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and unconditional positive regard for you as a unique individual. I offer you a nurturing space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment, whatever they may be. Together, we'll delve into your aspirations and challenges, empowering you to regain the strength and wisdom within yourself to overcome obstacles, cultivate meaningful change, and live a fulfilling life.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply craving a deeper understanding of yourself, I am here to support you every step of the way.
Reach out to schedule your consultation. Your journey to healing, meaning and wholeness will begin now if you choose.
