I provide short to long-term psychotherapy treatment to adults (18 years/older). I have special interest in depression, anxiety, high sensitivity trait, life transition, grief/loss, trauma, self-esteem issues and migration. I work collaboratively with my clients to find more clarity and confidence in navigating their challenges. I offer them a safe space to work things through with the primary aim of empowering them to discover their inner roadmap to healing. In my practice, I strive to help my clients to foster a positive connection with themselves, and to tap into their unique strengths to overcome their difficulties.
I am trained in relational psychodynamic psychotherapy. I believe in delving into our past experiences to uncover and understand the unconscious behavioral patterns that are no longer serving us in the present. With more self-awareness, we will gain increased freedom from our past, see more possibilities for the future and stay more fulfilled in the present.
I am originally from Malaysia and migrated to NZ in 2012. Having lived in different countries, navigated different cultures, and gone through some major life transitions myself, these experiences shaped my interest and empathy as a psychotherapist. I offer sessions mainly in English but could supplement with Chinese (Cantonese & limited Mandarin) and Malay.
