My Story
My journey into the field of mental health began with a desire to support and guide individuals navigating through different stages of life. Over time, I have come to realize how easily our emotion can be overlooked or brushed off in the rush of daily responsibilities.
As a counsellor, I have provided counselling to children, youths, individuals from diverse and complex backgrounds. I aim to create a safe and nurturing environment where clients can reconnect with themselves, uncover their strengths, gain new insights and explore their experiences without judgement.
Some therapeutic techniques used but not limited to are - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Based Therapy, Narrative therapy, Choice Therapy Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing to support clients in growth.
Building Legos is one of my favourite hobbies. It’s best to build them at night after a long day at work as it helps me to de-stress.
Tip: Vibing with your favourite playlist in the background will make you super relaxed.
