Mental Health Professional Services
I provide individual psychotherapy and counselling sessions. These are 45-50 minutes in duration each. Clients of my sessions come from all walks of life, age and cultures. They have the will to live to their fullest potential, recapture their inner peace, and flourish; this while being active and functioning members of society.
My psychotherapy sessions are relationship focussed. Our environment and our relationships shape us. How we deal with relationships today determines the nature of our relationships tomorrow. I encourage couples and families to attend psychotherapy and relationship counselling together.
Each client is assessed individually, and the treatment plan is tailored to suit individual needs and readiness. Integrative Gestalt therapy is founded on psychoanalysis, eastern philosophy, phenomenology, holism, bodywork and psychodrama. Like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), we experiment with new behaviours and attitudes, like Systemic Family Therapy we address the client's family system, like Emotion Focussed Therapy (EFT). The focus of Gestalt therapy is contact, which sparks the healing process of the individual in psychotherapy.
The Gestalt therapy philosophy of change allows the client to integrate new experiences fully. This kind of change is permanent.
My practice offers support for individuals struggling with anxiety, panic, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I work with clients to prevent burnout and manage work-related stress, as well as those dealing with compulsive sexual behaviour disorder, sexuality, and gender identity issues. My expertise extends to trauma and dissociation, sleep disorders, chronic pain, and psychosomatic issues. I also provide counselling for substance dependency, disordered eating, and relationship challenges, including marriage, parenthood, and divorce.

My journey to psychotherapy was profoundly influenced by my experiences working with asylum seekers in Austria during the refugee crisis.
I returned to Singapore before the pandemic, and I am glad to be back.

Regular therapy sessions can contribute to personal and community growth, often helping to repair and nurture relationships. During this process, people typically learn to communicate more effectively and set healthy boundaries, while developing compassion for themselves and others. This ongoing journey of self-discovery and recovery is a path that some find beneficial for their personal development. It offers an opportunity for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a supportive environment, potentially leading to greater self-awareness and improved well-being.

Gestalt therapy is an integrative psychotherapeutic approach recognised for its effectiveness in addressing childhood trauma. This method provides a secure environment for processing adverse childhood experiences, allowing individuals to contextualise past events and find greater peace in the present.
Trauma, as defined by the American Psychological Association, encompasses any disturbing experience resulting in significant fear, helplessness, dissociation, or confusion. These intense emotions can have long-lasting effects on an individual's attitudes, behaviours, and overall functioning.
Through Gestalt therapy, clients can work towards resolving these lingering impacts, promoting healing and personal growth.s

I offer specialized counseling services for groups. These sessions provide a supportive environment for addressing shared challenges and improving interpersonal dynamics. Group counseling can be particularly effective for individuals seeking peer support and shared learning experiences. It offers a unique opportunity to connect with others facing similar issues, fostering mutual understanding and growth. In these sessions, participants can develop new perspectives, practice social skills, and receive feedback in a safe, structured setting. My approach emphasizes creating an inclusive space where all voices are heard and respected, facilitating meaningful change and personal development through collective exploration and support.

Cancellation and Rescheduling
Need to change the appointment? Message me ASAP. Understand that the slot is reserved for just you and you will be invoiced for the session if the appointment is cancelled less than 48 hours before session start.
What to expect at first appointment:
Arrive 5-10 minutes before the appointment time to find my office, orientate yourself and fill out a registration form.
Therapy begins for most clients on the first appointment. Consider that only way to ascertain if therapy with me suits you is to have a full session.
Help me keep psychotherapy affordable! If you need to cancel, inform me ASAP or before 48 hours prior to the time-slot you reserved. Invoicing would be done for the time put aside.

Gestalt Psychotherapy is an excellent resource for anyone who seeks a set and setting to re-calibrate themselves and press that "internal reset button". Psychotherapy is an effective way for busy people to gain mental clarity, resiliency from emotional triggers, better sleep, health, and an overall sense of calm. Therapy helps us evolve as individuals with the courage to feel emotions without fear and to set boundaries while maintaining solid relationships.
Psychotherapy in Singapore can cost between $40 and $350 per 50-min session. At my practice, it is $220. The true cost of having psychotherapy is more accurately measured by the outcome you will get out of the set of therapeutic sessions. While evaluating prices, it is worthwhile to consider the change you encounter in the therapeutic process. The therapeutic outcome is correlated with the skill of the therapist, the therapeutic alliance and the client’s willingness to participate in the work.
The best way to find out if therapy with someone works for you is to have the first session. At my practice, treatment begins at the first meeting.
Respect for our cancellation policy will help therapists maintain our reasonable fees for those needing psychotherapy. Time is a limited resource.
Time is reserved just for you when you book a slot. You will be invoiced the full amount if you do not attend a session that is not cancelled within 48 hours before the session time. Having to pay for a last-minute cancelled slot is not by any means a penalty.
Couples' therapy can benefit your relationship:
The premise of my couples work is to provide a secure space and time for couples to connect with themselves and their partner in such a way that both find peace in whichever paths their relationship leads them towards.
It depends on the client’s resources: their time, money and interest.
It depends. If you come for therapy to solve a particular issue, i.e. getting over a relationship breakup, or dealing with job stress, therapy ends when the solution is in sight.
For treatment of symptoms like anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, eating disorders and addictions -- symptoms that seriously interfere with daily functioning, health, sleep and work, effective therapeutic work happens over months.
Most clients continue having sessions because they realize that psychotherapy is a good resource for finding their ground. They use their sessions as a inter-psychic reset button.
It depends on the severity of the issues experienced by the individual, their attendance, and their motivation to work through these issues during and after sessions. Consistency, patience and compassion for oneself brings good results.
I work with every symptom defined by the DSM by providing the 'set and setting' and expertise to help clients find their way.
Those who not want to come in the first place. Please do not coerce or force your friends or family members to come for therapy. Educate others about therapy by all means, and let them make up their minds.
Psychotherapy is unlike medical treatment. Transformative work has no true endpoint. As a client you will decide when to have the final session, and we can also plan the ending. When the client or therapist decides that the therapy has come to an end, there will be a final session (or two) where we make a wrap-up. This session is a beneficial one, from my experience, where insights and experiences are re-visited and integrated.
This depends. Many couples in Singapore prefer to see the same therapist individually so that they can process their personal issues on the side in a familiar space. For these clients, we are aware that the individual work is also an extension of the couple work. I will refer the couple or individual to my colleagues in situations where there is a possibility of conflict of interest, which may manifest in various forms.
"I've found an inner peace that was there in me all along."
"I've never said this to anyone."
"I wished we had come here earlier. It would have saved us a lot of fights."
"I feel safe, now."
"Last night I slept."
"Nobody ever told me that I was okay. I'm okay."
“Something seems to have lifted.”
“I can look at my past-self with fondness.”
