The first few sessions will allow the counsellor to explore and identify your concerns. Moreover, you will be able to gain better insight into yourself during therapy, allowing you to discover much healthier and appropriate coping mechanisms.
The therapist will not carry out any form of diagnosis or prescribe medication. We have an experienced psychotherapist (Dr. Sharmila) on board who will be able to perform the diagnosis and prescribe medication to clients who need it.
It is highly recommended for clients to attend the session biweekly. However, the therapy frequency will also depend on several other factors such as client’s affordability, client’s severity, and much more.

I believe that each individual has a different pace and ability to adjust when facing challenges in life. It is alright to take some time as much as we need to adapt to the situation. As long as we keep moving, we will reach the destination eventually. Counselling is not giving advice, it’s giving you some space to explore yourself and potential. It is a safe space for you to express your emotions, explore your concern, unravel your strengths and challenge yourselves to cope with the issue healthily. Throughout the healing process, I will be alongside you to empower your inner self for a better well-being.
In the session, I implemented different approaches based on my client values and needs. It includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic, Experiential approach and Metaphoric Cards as supporting tools. Certainly, the session will be conducted under a warm, safe and private manner.

Professional statement:
Life gets to us, the good, the bad and the ugly, and I believe there’s a reason for each of those moments. Given the space, unconditional positive regard, and some courage, we can take a step back and explore those areas in our lives and learn from it. I gravitate towards Person Centered Therapy as an approach, while using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. My focus is on the person in front of me, and together we take steps in exploring the emotions and the behavioral actions that result from those emotions.
My prior work experience was on engaging with youth through leadership development and mentorship, from teenagers to campus students. Currently as an intern counselor, I wish to utilize that skill and provide professional support to youth and young working adults.
My goal through therapy is to identify the area of concern in your life, help you learn to understand and be mindful of the effect it has, and finally, help you to decide what you want to do with that revelation in alignment with your personal goal. I believe that you know your life best, and my role is to support you as you gain clarity and strength to move further ahead.
Outside of counseling, I enjoy playing music as a bassist in church, and going on hikes where I can enjoy nature. I enjoy a good book, and love having deep and challenging conversations about life and what it means to be human, preferably with a nice cup of coffee or chinese tea.

Professional Summary: I provide psychological assessments to recognise the disorders that my client is dealing with. Among many disorders that I have dealt with are neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Disorders, etc.), depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, stress related disorders, and personality disorders. What is psychological assessment?
Because some may find that it is a bit daunting to be assessed. Fret not. It is only a process to assist and help you understand yourselves and your struggles better. But mostly we will talk and explore together your struggles. As a clinical psychologist, I will embark on the journey alongside with my clients to explore your challenges or issues that you are facing to help you recognise the symptoms better, and understand its effects on your day to day life. I believe that knowing our problems thoroughly is part of the process of knowing ourselves. A question that I often ask to myself and my clients is that how are we to know what we are dealing with and how to handle it if we ourselves do not recognise what it is? The healing process comes with truly understanding what we are going through and therefore bringing awareness and insights in the picture. For some, this process may be a bumpy road, and for some it might be a smooth slide. In both situations, I will be there to guide through so that we can search and discover clearer targets or objectives for us to tackle.
As a clinical psychologist, I also provide psychotherapy, where I prefer to use Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Self-compassion and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. All in all, what I believe is the most important thing in therapy is to provide safe space for my clients to express how they feel and what they think. Emotion is delicate and easily ignored. I help my clients to explore their emotions and learn to deal with them rather than avoiding them or sweeping them under the carpet. Emotions, whether they are unpleasant or difficult, are there and they need to be attended to. As quoted by a researcher named Wegner (1994), Trying to get rid of our difficult thoughts and emotions increases their frequency, strength and duration. With that note, I will try my level best to guide my clients as their therapist to learn skills to attend to their emotions, so that it can help them strengthen the relationship with one selves, knowing, loving and appreciating themselves more and thus increase the wellbeing to thrive well in their upcoming journey of life.

I came from a dysfunctional family, which my mother ran away & my late father was an alcoholic. I was in an abusive family and was abused. Watching Hong Kong Dramas is how I have coped since young. After watching the dramas, it makes me feel better & go on my days . So, I wish to become a psychologist to help people who are struggling with dysfunctional families like me.
Unfortunately, my family didn’t support me & I lost hope and give up on my dream. After years, I earn and pay back to the societies but I realized , by donating money & visiting the orphanage children is not solving their real issue. If they didn’t heal their inner wounds, their life will still be affected. Some even repeated their parent’s history.
So, this recalling my dream again! Since then, I have decided to chase back my dream. After practising, I realize most of my referrals are came with Relationship issues and Children or Adolescents’ Behavior issues. So, this is why I decided to specialize in Children’s Therapy.

My experience with children of special needs taught me the significance of providing a safe space for one to grow and learn. It is when we feel heard, safe, and confident that we are ready to take on any challenges that we may face. I am dedicated to providing a safe space for clients to explore their issues and achieve their goals.

Professional Statement:
I believe that everyone needs a space to feel safe when exploring their own past and experiences in life. When working with clients, I tend to utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and a Systemic-focused approach to guide clients in sessions. In therapy, I tend to use experiential approach in creative ways to help client feel safe in sessions.
During my training years, I have experience working with individuals, couples and families. Some of my work includes working with individuals with experience of trauma, loss, addiction, relationship concerns and work-related concerns. Before pursuing my Masters, I work closely with children with learning needs in schools.
My goal in therapy is to help you find effective ways to manage your life stressors. This could look like empowering and holding space for you in sessions to journey with you. I firmly believe you are the expert in your life, where I come in as an empathetic helper to journey alongside with you.

Professional Statement:
Life is like weather, that filled with uncertainties.
Someday it rains, and someday it does not. It could be a stormy night in the therapy, but you’re not alone this time. I will be carrying the umbrella and we will walk through the journey together. Throughout the journey, you will gain the awareness and understanding about yourself. You are given with the non-judgmental and genuine space to be who you are under the umbrella. Healing takes time and patience, rainbow too. When the rain fades, you will be able to manage the difficulties with the skills learned and enjoy the picturesque view of the rainbow.
Everyone is unique, thus heal slowly on your own terms. The moon is reborn in phases too.
