Mental Health Professional Services
I offer individual psychotherapy and counselling sessions, each lasting 45–50 minutes. My clients come from diverse backgrounds, ages, and cultures, all sharing a common desire to reach their fullest potential, rediscover inner peace, and thrive.
My psychotherapy sessions focus on relationships, offering couples therapy that addresses the specific dynamics of today’s post-pandemic world. I approach each couple with respect for their unique differences, fostering growth as individuals and partners. Drawing on my experience in a 20-year cross-cultural relationship, I bring depth and skill to this work. I’m here to help you and your partner cultivate a connection rooted in trust and admiration for each other.
You will receive a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and readiness. Integrative Gestalt Therapy draws from diverse influences, including psychoanalysis, Eastern philosophy, phenomenology, holism, bodywork, and psychodrama.
Similar to dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), it encourages the experimentation of new behaviours and attitudes. Like Systemic Family Therapy, it addresses the client's family system. Inspired by Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), it emphasises emotional connections. At its core, Gestalt Therapy engages with "contact," a process that ignites healing in psychotherapy.
The Gestalt philosophy of change helps clients fully integrate new experiences, fostering lasting, meaningful transformation.
I provide psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, OCD, burnout, work stress, compulsive sexual behaviour, gender identity, trauma, dissociation, sleep issues, chronic pain, substance dependency, disordered eating, and relationship challenges like marriage, parenthood, and divorce.
"In my practice, I’ve seen how transformative it can be when clients dare to embrace vulnerability—not as weakness, but as a path to rediscovering their inner strength. It’s about finding wholeness not in perfection, but in the cracks where light gets in. It’s about feeling connection even in the depths of loneliness. True change, I believe, doesn’t come from trying to fix ourselves, but from summoning the courage to simply be who we are. This is the journey I am honored to support my clients on every day."

I returned to Singapore before the pandemic, and I am glad to be back.

Gestalt therapy is a powerful approach to healing childhood trauma. It offers a safe space to process adverse experiences, contextualise the past, and find peace in the present. Trauma, as defined by the American Psychological Association, involves distressing events that leave lasting impacts on emotions, behaviours, and overall well-being. Through Gestalt therapy, clients can address these effects, fostering healing, growth, and lasting change.

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.”
