Why they became a therapist.

"I became a therapist initially out of interest in the subject. Over time in my practice, however, my vision as a therapist has become more enhanced. I feel more anchored and am humbled by what I learn from my clients every day as I work towards providing the best possible help for my clients."

What they'd like a client's first session to be like.

"The first session is an opportunity for both the clients and the therapist to know each other well. Finding the right therapist is a trial and error process and I hope for my clients to be able to evaluate and understand whether I would be able to fulfil their expectations in the therapy space. I provide my clients with a framework of my therapy process in the first session to keep them informed about what to expect in the sessions."

How they make their practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx.

"I believe that the onus of information lies in me rather than expecting my clients to educate me on their specific needs and concerns. I have undergone training on queer affirmative counselling practice run by MHI, which has helped me hold an affirmative framework towards psychotherapy."
