Your journey into self-transformation has already begun when you started thinking about your own needs, desires, and wellness. Counseling is the next step in the process, where you work with a qualified mental health professional who assists you in this journey.
Counselling is not only for people struggling with mental health distress but also for people who want to thrive.
The process of counselling leaves one with increased self-awareness, an improved relationship with oneself, and also provides a space to process life incidents that are unconsciously keeping one stuck.
I adopt an integrative approach, addressing both mind and body to facilitate change for clients. Specializing in trauma-trained therapy, my depth-oriented practice integrates Attachment Theory, Relational Gestalt, and Somatic Psychotherapy. Please find below how I use the therapies in my practice:
Trauma-trained - Understanding struggles of the individual in the context (micro & macro systems) of their lived experiences - wounds encountered, support available, and how they have impacted the nervous system. Working on the trauma directly for the purpose of integrating the deeply ingrained physiological and psychological responses that result from unintegrated trauma. Facilitating this process in a sensitive manner to avoid retraumatization.
Attachment Theory and Relational approach - Exploring the quality of relationships one has experienced in their life. Understanding how these experiences have left imprints that continue to influence one’s relationship with themselves and others.
Depth-oriented - This involves exploring the unconscious, bringing to light parts of the self that have been hidden, and integrating them over time.
Somatic therapy - Working at the body and nervous system level to help understand and navigate the imprints of past experiences that are held in the body. Here, I work with the sensations and emotional energy of the past held in the body and empower the client to integrate and move through these sensations.
Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.

We launched TheMindClan.com because we know firsthand how challenging it can be to find support for ourselves and our loved ones. We know that experiences of neurodivergence (like dyslexia, ADHD, autism, etc), or being from a marginalized community (LGBTQIA+, etc), can make it especially challenging to find support.
We understand the overwhelming feeling of scrolling through endless lists, wondering whom to trust, and not knowing what to expect.
If you appreciate our mission of making mental health care accessible and inclusive, and would love to bring this to your organization or collaborate with us, we'd be delighted to hear from you!
