As humans, we are hard-wired for connection.
In daily life where small talk is the norm, my work as a counsellor allows me to experience intimate, authentic, deep and meaningful human connection on a daily basis. It is a privilege to be let into someones internal world, and to navigate the more raw aspects of what makes people human, together.
Through this journey, it is so heartwarming to see small moments of joy, healing, laughter, celebrations, and glimmers of hope.
Counselling allows me to be in touch with our shared humanity is such a wonderful way, and for me that is most exciting.
My wish for our relationship is that you can come as you are and express yourself wholly. On my end, I work to create a space that is safe for you to do this. A non-judgemental, attuned, empathic and relational space.
I will not position myself as the expert of your life. You live your life everyday, and I meet you for just one hour a week. I would love for us to be collaborators in your healing journey. I wish for us to have the relationship where you can freely say, ‘Can we do more of that?’ ‘This is not working for me!’ ‘Today I just want to vent, I’ll learn that skill the week after’ ‘Last session helped! Let’s pick it up from there’.
I’ll take my cues from you, and I will check-in often to ask you what you need from me.
I work using Systemic Family Therapy and Person-Centred Therapy. I am trauma informed and affirmative in my practice.
Systemic Family Therapy essentially aims to understand our family system and how that impacted us. It maps out family dynamics to uncover patterns we unknowingly learnt as children or patterns that are reinforced as adults in the family. Once we identify the roots of these internalised thoughts/behaviours and why they are not serving us anymore, we can begin to tweak them.
Person-Centred Therapy provides an environment (between the client and therapist) in the here and now that allows change to happen. It is a safe, healing, equal relationship. This includes but is not limited to genuineness, unconditional positive regard, and empathy.

We've developed a curation process over 7+ years, which allows us to carefully curate each inclusive and affirming mental health provider listed on our platform.
We have come a long way since we started in 2018, and have been adapting our curation process every day. From the time a therapist or support group reaches out to us, it takes about 1 - 2 months to complete the process.
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!
