What started as a spark of curiosity about human brain and behaviours during my teenage years gradually translated into my lifelong pursuit and career as a Clinical Psychologist today. This is a true testament to the value of attending to our sparks no matter how small. This spark may one day result in a dream come true.

​

My dream or passion is in helping individuals, who are struggling with mental health concerns and difficulties in life, identify the gaps in their potential and functioning, and to make changes and find fulfilment in their lives.

​

I conceptualise the therapy process as a journey that I take with my clients towards meeting their needs and goals. I see it as my privilege and honour to be on this journey with them given that I get access to their vulnerabilities and personal stories. Thus, I see it as my duty to conduct therapy in a way that is supportive and safe for my clients as well as build a therapeutic relationship based on trust and understanding. 

​

Below are main values that form the HEART of my clinical practice. 

​

Therapeutic alliance 

As a firm believer in the importance of relationships as catalysts for therapeutic change, I place great emphasis on building alliance, safety and trust with each individual that I work with. 

 

 

Empathy

Empathy is in the heart of how I work in therapy, for I believe in connecting with and understanding clients through feeling with them throughout the journey. 

 

 

Client-centered approach

Adopting a client-centered and integrative approach, I customise psychotherapy delivered to each individual based on his/her unique needs. I strive to make a positive difference in people’s lives, one person at a time – regardless of their cultural or ethnic group, religious belief, gender and sexual orientation, as I believe that everyone deserves the right to mental wellness.
