My approach
I believe everyone possesses the inherent capacity to thrive, navigating life's challenges and achieving their full potential. However, when familiar coping mechanisms falter, seeking external support becomes essential for restoring emotional and mental well-being.
Professional Commitment
I am committed to ethical practice, and I am a registered counsellor and a clinical member of the Singapore Association for Counselling. My experience extends to working with the expatriate community, as well as the local community.
The Power of Therapy
Therapy offers a unique opportunity for self-discovery. It allows us to pause, explore hidden aspects of ourselves, forge new connections, and rewrite personal narratives, uncovering deeper meanings within our experiences. Just as allegories illuminate abstract ideas, therapy helps us move beyond surface-level interpretations, accessing profound and transformative insights. My role is to provide clients with practical tools and professional perspectives, empowering them towards personal growth and positive change.
Creating a Safe Space
I understand the courage it takes to seek help and share vulnerabilities. I prioritise creating a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space for my clients. Embracing diversity and inclusion, I welcome individuals of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and religious backgrounds, serving both local and expatriate communities. I offer sessions in person and online, catering to older adolescents and adults.
A Holistic Approach
Drawing inspiration from C.G. Jung's wisdom, "Learn your theories as well as you can, but put them aside when you touch the miracle of the living soul," I approach therapy with both expertise and open-mindedness. While the mind's adaptive capabilities are remarkable, they can sometimes lead to counterproductive behaviours. I believe that true transformation occurs when therapist and client explore the client's experience with curiosity and without preconceptions. Therefore, fostering a strong therapeutic alliance is paramount.
Tailored Therapy
Recognising each individual's unique history, struggles, and coping mechanisms, I utilise an integrative approach. Grounded in Person-Centred Therapy, I incorporate elements of behavioural therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and psychodynamic experiential models such as Internal Family Systems, Chair work and Parts work.
I offer therapy in English and Italian.
Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in the financial sector in London, Hong Kong, and Sydney.
