Decipher Counselling Art Therapy Studio offers creative, justice-oriented therapy for people dealing with experiences of invalidation, including any and all underrepresented communities. This may include processing trauma, navigating identities, life transitions, and power differences. We aim to create a space where people of all intersectionalities can feel like they belong.

My approach to counselling is a psychodynamic, person-centred, and trauma-informed approach.

We are spiritual beings experiencing life in human form, but the challenges of our human condition can often overwhelm us. Spirituality involves reconnecting with our true nature as spiritual beings and pure awareness. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, helps us heal and release the burdens we carry throughout life, while also fully embracing our human nature. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, career changes, life transitions, or struggles in relationships, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we will uncover your inner wisdom and resilience.

We are not always aware of just how much of our life is impacted by our childhood. Because of this, we don't realize we are surviving with the limited resources afforded to us in our upbringing to avoid facing the deep emotional betrayals and abandonment that has framed our negative view of self, others, and God. You're unsatisfied with your current life, and something is nagging at you. Depending on our experiences, there may be this constant stirring in you that is hindering you from living the life you were made to live. Things can change, and you can thrive!

Grief is a natural response to loss, which may include a range of emotions such as sadness, anger, guilt, longing, and often involves adjusting to life without the presence of what or who has been loss. Grief is also a highly individual experience, with no set timeline or "right" way to grieve. However, if you are struggling to cope with your loss, I am here to guide you through your journey of grief, helping you navigate the complex emotions, coming to terms with loss and finding ways to integrate it into your life.

You might have been putting most of your energy and simply trying to get through the day for a long time. Being overwhelmed by fears, exhaustion and emotional isolation has become your norm. You have tried hard to change but have not been able to make it last. Escaping might give you relief but you know it is not a permanent solution. You tried to be seen but only part of you was accepted. You have pushed anger away and it came back even stronger. However, deep down, you know you are more than your pain. You have not given up yet as you are still seeking. You are yearning to live your life vibrantly.
