About me

As a trained integrative counsellor, I apply different modalities for different clients as I believe that each client brings its own unique issue. However, the primary focus of my work will be person centered, meaning that we will be working collaboratively in accordance to your pace.

In our first session, in a safe and confidential environment, you will be given time and space to tell me why you come for counselling. In that process, I strive to be present and listen without any judgement and I will be asking questions, reflecting back what you have said to make sure that I understood and you felt heard. From here, we could set the goal that you hope to gain from counselling sessions and the number of sessions.

In our subsequent sessions, we might look into your past experiences including your childhood and other traumatic experiences that might have happened in the past. And, how these experiences might have shaped your current behaviours. I will challenge you with questions that hopefully helping gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. This sometime might feel uncomfortable but this will be done in a supportive manner.

I am particularly interested in �Here and Now� in the therapy room as I believe that our current behaviours are shaped by our past experiences. In order to have a meaningful change, you need to understand why you behave in certain ways, that's why working on here and now is very helpful for clients to understand their behaviours. Change will only happen if we have a deeper awareness of oneself.

If it is appropriate and helpful, I might give suggestions for things to be done to improve your current situation. However, coming to counselling is not about a quick fit and it is about gaining insight into why the same issues keep recurring and how to break that repetitive behaviours. I believe that change can only happen if it is coming from the clients themselves.

Over the last 10 years, I have worked in the higher education supporting students and mental health charities. I have experienced working with clients from diverse backgrounds, with a range issues from work stress, study stress and mental health issues.

Currently, I am also working with other Employer Assistance Program providing counselling to employees dealing dealing various stresses in life.
