Gestalt therapy and EMDR offer ways of working with childhood trauma and other overwhelming experiences. Trauma can leave lasting marks on how we think, feel, and relate—often without us realising it.
In therapy, we move carefully and at a pace that feels manageable. Using a Gestalt approach, we stay grounded in the present while gently bringing unfinished or fragmented experiences into awareness, so they can be integrated rather than re-lived.

I am a certified Integrative Gestalt psychotherapist and counsellor based in Singapore. I hold a doctorate in Psychotherapy Science from Sigmund Freud University, Vienna.
Before transitioning into mental health, I had an established career in food and beverage technology, building on my background in Biochemistry from the National University of Singapore. That earlier work still shapes my thinking around systems and adaptation.
My journey into psychotherapy deepened during the refugee crisis in Austria, where I worked with asylum seekers and trauma survivors. Those encounters—often across language and cultural divides—revealed that healing happens through genuine presence, not perfect understanding. My doctoral research explored this: what actually occurs between therapist and client that creates change.
This work continues to shape how I approach trauma, belonging, and the therapeutic relationship itself.
Psychotherapeutic Approach
Psychotherapeutic Approach
Psychotherapeutic Approach
My work is grounded in Integrative Gestalt Therapy. Rather than manualising and assessing, this approach responds to who you are and what you’re ready for. Gestalt therapy places emphasis on awareness—what you notice, feel, and experience in the present moment—and how change often begins through real contact, not techniques.

The work draws from psychoanalysis, phenomenology, Eastern philosophy, body-based approaches, and psychodrama.
I work with attention to context—personal, relational, cultural, and social—supporting changes that feel grounded and can be carried into everyday life.
