There are times life is rough and overwhelming, and we need someone to walk alongside. Are you having a low season currently and need some breakthrough? I am here to help you safely express and explore your inner world, understand each part of yourself, create a positive emotional experience for change and learn some healthy coping strategies. I have 15+ counselling experience in various settings like school, church, NGO and medical clinic, supporting individuals, couples and families with issues like depression, anxiety, ADHD, ASD, bipolar, trauma, relationship distress etc.
As a school teacher for ten years, I also have extensive experience in supporting children, teens , and parents with academic, behavioural, emotional and parenting challenges (esp. ASD/ ADHD). Children and teenagers who are stressed might not be able to express themselves and therapy helps them to navigate their big emotions.
I am warm, patient and non-judgemental to listen to your story. I use various modalities like EFT, DBT, CBT and mindfulness. I am also trauma and food allergies informed. I am happy to walk alongside you in this healing journey. You are not alone.
