Online Counselling for Singapore
I believe there is no ideal client. But one that has pain or a struggle hidden behind a facade that society had dictated in terms of the individual roles we need to fulfill in our lives. Hidden behind the "shoulds" and the "musts". All people really yearn for is for someone to hold a non-judgmental space for them to voice their unsaid thoughts and emotions, to feel heard, respected, connected, seen, felt and significant.

While many of us may consider counselling because we have some form of crisis or are stuck somehow, I believe counselling is for anyone who wants to know more about himself or herself. At its core, counselling is more than just helping someone get through a particularly difficult period of time or over some challenging issues. Counselling is about bringing you to an awareness of the what and why you are, the way you are. As Carl Jung said, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

Individuals and couples who worked with me usually expressed relief because they found someone who can finally help them make sense of their distress and pain without feeling judged. Their goals usually centered around being liberated from their distress (e.g., anxiety, depression, self-doubt, anger) so that they can maximize their potential and not just live but live well.

In-person Singapore or secure video.
You’re high-functioning, yet internally, you’re trapped by hyper-criticism and the weight of "doing enough." In a world where emotional suppression is the norm, you’ve mastered performing while carrying the silent exhaustion of burnout, familial friction, and impossible standards. You need more than just "coping skills". You need a grounded space to untangle the roots of your overwhelm. My goal is to help you move from chronic overcommitment toward genuine agency and self-trust. We start with a human-to-human connection, to find a balance between your drive and your well-being.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind (Quote Fritz Perls). Gestalt therapy has the flexibility in its approach to help hold space for the whites/blacks and greys of life. Together, therapist and client can journey to help you deepen your own perspective of yourself and better understand how you function as an organism/environment field - a biological, thinking, feeling being - and do both inner, and relational work to support you with the challenges that present themselves in your life at this given moment.

I believe that each one of us has an inbuilt potential to lead a happy life in all circumstances. But many times because of increased stress and tension in life (either due to workplace or family issues) we find it difficult to access that potential within and thus, we suffer from different health problems. My passion is to help individuals & couples come out of their problems & rediscover happiness in their life. From my personal experience of 8+ years, I can confidently say that taking help during the difficult times and using the psychological services can save an individual from many personal and professional problems.

Most importantly many of my clients truly want to feel seen, supported, and gently guided back to a sense of self. They long for a safe, empathetic space to process, grow, and find their way forward with more confidence, resilience, and emotional ease.

Online Counsellors
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
