Hi, I’m Joyce, a Registered Counsellor with the Singapore Association of Counselling. My journey into mental health began through personal experience; as the eldest of four, I watched my brother navigate depression, which inspired me to help others find hope and healing.

I believe that life is best navigated together. Over the years, I have worked with clients through challenges like depression, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and life and career transitions. My experiences studying overseas and working in the non-profit sector have taught me that every person’s story is unique. I strive to create a safe, friendly space where you can explore your feelings, understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours connect, and begin to rewrite your internal narrative.

When I’m not in session, you might find me enjoying the outdoors—whether I’m at the beach, playing ultimate frisbee, scuba diving, or exploring interesting topics online. 

In sessions, my goal isn’t to “fix” anything but to walk alongside you as we explore your experiences together. Sometimes, just having a safe space to reflect can make all the difference. If that sounds like something you’d find helpful, and want to find out more,  feel free to reach out!
