Supporting you and your loved ones with Psychotherapy and Counseling in Singapore. Gestalt therapy is an effective treatment for overcoming challenging psychological, personality and relationship issues. Gain emotional resilience and essential skills through these sessions and attain mental wellness for life.



Your therapy sessions are designed to be holistic, experiential and motivating. Each session is tailor-made to suit your needs. Sessions involve psycho-education, free associations and many opportunities for experiments with thoughts, behaviors, body movements and ideas. As the therapeutic process unfolds, I may incorporate the use of creative media like art and music, dreams and body work to sharpen awareness. My work centers around your therapy goals, and your search for answers and resolutions to often difficult questions.

What is Psychotherapy?
“Therapy” is from the Latin word therapīa, from Ancient Greek θεραπεία (therapeía, “service, medical treatment”), from θεραπεύω (therapeúō, “I serve, treat medically”). It is an attempted remediation of a health problem following a diagnosis, usually synonymous with treatment.

“Psychotherapy” is the treatment of the emotional, physical, relational aspects (i.e. the bio-psycho-social parts) of an individual through the treatment of the psyche.
There are many different psychotherapeutic methods. I am a fully accredited gestalt therapist with IGWien, Vienna. I train with gestalt therapists from Europe and America. I am also an active researcher in gestalt psychotherapy.
