Through therapy and support, my clients have worked through complex emotional issues and mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, grief and loss, suicidal tendencies, emotional dysregulation, trauma, abuse, and fragile self-esteem. I have also helped clients to gain insight when they have felt stuck in life, or needed support to navigate through challenging events.

In my sessions, I incorporate a variety of therapeutic modalities, depending on the individual needs of each client. I am a firm believer in having a wide range of tools in my counselling toolbox, and as a result, I am constantly in learning mode.

I am a strong advocate for empowering others through education, and have presented numerous talks and workshops on topics such as suicide risk assessment and crisis management, stress management, mental health and wellness issues.

When I’m not working, you will either find me in a playground with my husband and two children, or in a corner of my home with a book in my hands.

Whilst utilizing my skills and wealth of experience obtained from my professional and
personal experiences, I am adept at tailoring sessions to best promote results in each session. I possess excellent interpersonal skills and communication skills and I am warm,
compassionate, and non-judgmental to clients.

I strongly believe that each individual is unique, and therapy hence should be tailored
accordingly. I am adept at tailoring sessions to best promote results in each case, well-
practiced in psychodynamic therapy and familiar with CBT, systemic and mindfulness
approaches. By being genuine in my approach, empathetic of other people's point of view and providing unconditional acceptance, I establish an atmosphere of positive change by encouraging clients to explore their feelings and emotions and to reflect on what is happening to them. I believes that by using these techniques, I am competent in helping people begin their journey towards unlocking a new and better life for themselves.

I am a conscientious practitioner with exceptional organizational and communication skills,
driven to nurture and care for those fragile minds in today's challenging and competitive society.

When I’m not working, I’ll be either whipping up new dishes in the kitchen or taking a stroll
along the beach with my family.

I have also volunteered at Nightingale Home, counselled elderly residents and identified cases of abused individuals within the home. My specialisation in family therapy and training in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is grounded in my distinction in counselling research processes while in Swinburne. I have also completed training courses from the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) and family conflict management/mediation training at Eagles Mediation & Counselling Centre (EMCC).

I first gained my counselling experience at the Family Service Centre (MSF), where I worked with clients with a multitude of concerns including Interpersonal Issues, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, Anger Issues, Couple Issues, Family Conflicts, Trauma, Self-Harm and Abuse cases. I have also conducted couple and parenting talks for my clients to help address the difficulties they may face with regards to the responsibilities of such roles. I later went on to further my experience as a school counsellor, where I conducted parenting talks, art therapy, smoking cessation programmes and counselled at-risk youths.

This has inspired my strong passion for working with vulnerable children and adolescents. Through conducting home visits for cases self-harm cases and abuse, I actively monitored the well-being of such at-risk populations, and remains committed to helping those who are not able to seek adequate help. I have also collaborated with many external agencies such as Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), hospitals, and Singapore Police Force (SPF) to better regulate the systemic safety nets for such youths. I believe in making a difference in their lives, thus providing simple and effective coping strategies to better manage the daily challenges they may face. For children and adolescents with a history of direct trauma-related events, I practice a trauma-informed approach centred around art therapy. This empowers my younger, and sometimes less verbal, clients to communicate through art as a medium of expression. I thoroughly believe in adapting different therapeutic approaches to each individual’s needs and challenges, and am dedicated to the process of uplifting clients as opposed to problem-solving issues.

When I’m not working, I will be either playing with my son or looking at YouTube to try out new tasty recipes for my son.
