I am trained in a range therapies whether top down or bottom up somatic therapies including trauma based EMDR therapy.
A therapist with a difference. The past 20 years in this field have taught me that besides being professional, well trained, a therapist has to be genuinely humane, humble, approachable, and compassionate with a sense of humour, whilst supporting, walking with clients on their journey to wellness. I don’t give advice, because I believe each client is the expert of their own lives. No individual person is a problem but a problem is a problem and my job is to help clients recover remember and reclaim their agency. I was not there at the start nor can change it but I can be there to empower you with choices where and how you finish

Through creativity, somatic experiencing, art psychotherapy or sex therapy, we will begin to rediscover your passion, new meaning in life and most importantly – to find You again.
"I did not change, I just woke up" (Anonymous). At some point in your life, you can be stuck in a rut and hungry to move forward and find something (be it a personal issue, work, relationship, sexual connection) that is more fulfilling and meaningful. You have read all the self-help books, journaled, and attended retreats yet still feel something amiss. The "old ways" of living and being that used to be helpful have no longer served their function and lost their spark.

Through an integrated approach of Somatic Therapy, Attachment Theory and deep knowledge of Trans-Generational trauma work, I have effectively worked with client to reclaim their emotional health & inner peace.
Are you experiencing an overwhelming amount of anxiety or depressive mood in your life? Are you also feeling lost on the direction, sense of purpose and relationships feels more distressing rather than fulfilling? If this is familiar to you then it is not unusual to feel disconnected from your lives, experience chronic mental health issues which can also present as body pain. Clients I have supported and worked with have tried many ways to seek to alleviate their distress through various form of support before working with me. Many of the roots of our distress are found within relationship & family dynamics, both present & past

Are you struggling to get out of bed, feeling like you've to drag your feet to work every day? Do you experience anxiety/dread about all the responsibilities on your plate? Perhaps you're always looking forward to the weekends or holidays so you can finally catch a break. Are you living life on auto-pilot and feel disconnected from your own feelings and bodily sensations? Or maybe you're noticing a lot of conflicting parts within you which are creating inner chaos and tension. There is a part of you that wants to create positive change and feel more at peace within but you're not sure where to start or what to do next.

I have been living in Singapore for over 10 years providing an essential support to individuals and couples in crisis. I specialize in working with all kinds of trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, bereavement, an existential crisis, and relationships issues. I create the context for my clients to have the experiences necessary for change and healing. Somatic Experiencing, as well as Ericksonian Hypnosis skills allow me to reach beyond the cognitive-emotional dimension in my work. Therefore, my clients can access their natural physiological mechanisms of self-regulation.

Each client is unique and in response to their needs, I draw from a humanistic, eclectic & holistic lens based on a positive alliance: - Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Creative Expressive Arts Therapies, Attachment Science, Compassion Focused, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Existential Counselling, Somatic Psychology as well as Cognitive Behavioural Therapies.
From a person centred, integrative and holistic view, I aim to empower each of my clients on their unique healing paths. Any person suffering and struggling to move on from difficult pasts, painful childhoods, self-limiting beliefs and unhealthy relationships and coping strategies. They may feel ambivalent about change but sense a growing self awareness and motivation to help themselves by seeking help... Taking that first step takes much courage but they're ready to begin, trust the process and commit to a new season of growth, compassion, change and healing.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind (Quote Fritz Perls). Gestalt therapy has the flexibility in its approach to help hold space for the whites/blacks and greys of life. Together, therapist and client can journey to help you deepen your own perspective of yourself and better understand how you function as an organism/environment field - a biological, thinking, feeling being - and do both inner, and relational work to support you with the challenges that present themselves in your life at this given moment.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
