How do I know if psychotherapy is right for me?

If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling with something that affects your daily life, therapy can help. You do not need to have a diagnosed condition or be in crisis. Many people start therapy simply because they want to feel more like themselves. The free discovery call is a great way to see if we are a good fit without any commitment.

What happens in the first session?

The first session is about getting to know each other. We will talk about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any questions you have. There is no pressure to share everything at once. We go at your pace. I will also explain how I work so you know what to expect.

How much does a psychotherapy session cost?

A standard 60-minute session is SGD 160, and an extended 90-minute session is SGD 220. The first step is a free 20-minute discovery call, so you can see whether we are a good fit before committing to anything. Subsidised rates are available for up to 5 sessions if you are facing financial difficulty.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. Sessions are available in person in Singapore or online via Zoom or Google Meet. Some clients meet in person, some fully online, and some mix the two depending on their week. All you need for online sessions is a private space and a stable internet connection.

Can sessions be conducted in Mandarin?

Yes. Sessions are available in English, Mandarin, or a mix of both. You are welcome to use whichever language feels closest to what you are trying to say.

Why Work With Me

I Understand the World You're Navigating

From boardroom to therapy room, I speak your language.

After spending over a decade in the finance industry, navigating high-pressure sales roles, managing teams, and experiencing burnout firsthand, I know what it's like to feel disconnected from yourself while trying to keep everything together.

This isn't just empathy from textbooks. I've sat in those meetings, carried those KPIs, and felt that pressure. Now I help others find their way back to themselves.
