A Collaborative, Holistic Approach to Counselling and Therapy for Adults, Couples, and Families
My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience. It draws on contemporary Western psychological and counselling approaches, while also respecting Eastern perspectives on relationship, balance, and inner awareness. These ways of understanding inform how I think about growth, distress, and change—not as isolated problems to be solved, but as experiences shaped by context, relationship, and meaning.
As a first-generation immigrant, a partner, a mother of two adult children, and a daughter to ageing parents, I have lived through multiple roles and transitions that often overlap rather than unfold neatly. I have also experienced a significant career transition, moving from a global corporate role into mental health work. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how identity, responsibility, and meaning evolve across different stages of life.
Through these transitions, I’ve come to appreciate that growth often includes both loss and possibility, clarity and uncertainty. Even when we are capable and functioning well, the emotional complexity beneath the surface can be significant—especially when professional demands, relational responsibilities, and personal values intersect.
This personal journey informs how I approach both life and therapy. I believe meaningful support honours context, respects effort, and allows space for reflection rather than urgency. Growth often comes not from fixing ourselves, but from understanding what we are responding to, softening our relationship with pressure, and moving forward with greater balance and care.
