What I can help

Emotional Issues

Supporting a wide range of life experiences and mental health issues, including anxiety & depression, bereavement, cancer, menopause, relationship issues, stress, suicidal thoughts, trauma and more.

 

Grief work

We encounter different kinds of loss in our lives, such as the death of loved ones, divorce, breaking up, life changes related to maladjustment, etc. Providing a supporting space for you to talk through and work on the grief and mourning.

 

Personal Growth

If you find your existing value or personality does not fit well in everyday life, we may review the upbringing in the family of origin and past experiences to understand possible sources of the problem and establish new and adaptable lifestyles.

 

Interpersonal Relationship

It is unavoidable for us to come across hard times in relating to others, in terms of social skills and communication. We can find out and understand different communication patterns and the underlying mental activities.

 

Career counselling

Make use of different personality assessment tools to understand your inclination towards job opportunities so that you will have a better idea of your career path.

 

Stress and Anxiety

Stress-related anxiety is becoming prevalent in our society, and without timely intervention, it can result in various kinds of anxiety disorder, including Panic Attacks, Phobia, General Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive and Compulsive Disorder, Social Phobia, Health Anxiety/hypochondriasis, Adjustment Disorder, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, etc. We can work together to identify the problems. Finding the ways to overcome the anxiety and build a healthy coping mechanism towards future stress.

 

Pre-marital Counselling

Marriage is the union of two persons from two different families and backgrounds. That entails a lot of communication and compromises between the two individuals, and unavoidably, some potential difficulties after marriage and living together. Pre-marital counselling helps the bride and groom-to-be review their upbringing, their personalities, their values, and other related areas. The couple will learn to work together in pursuing a lifelong loving relationship through mutual respect and acceptance, effective communication, and the art of intimacy.

 

Marital Counselling

After certain years in the marriage, couples come to know, more clearly, both the good and bad sides of each other’s. If there is not enough respect and tolerance within the relationship, it is not unusual for disagreement and conflicts to occur. When conflicts go too far, they sometimes push the couples to the decision of divorce. Marital Counseling provides a calm and safe space for the couples to ease the tension and to talk about their problems so that they can try to restore the love and respect for each other and rebuild the relationship.

 

Family Counselling

Each member of a family carries its role. A healthy family allows all members to feel accepted and respected. An unhealthy family does the reverse and is easily filled with blaming and avoidance. Family Counseling creates an open and accepting forum for all family members to express themselves and make compromises on issues concerned.

Contact

Welcome to my counselling session

Depending on individual needs, 6-8 weeks of short-term therapy may be most suitable. It is important to know that in some situations may need to take several months for counselling with regular review to make a long-term difference. In a lot of cases, a longer commitment will be most beneficial.
