My experience spans student counselling, career guidance, clinical and mental health counselling, as well as psychometric testing and analysis, with a focus on adapting to diverse learning styles. Our approach blends evidence-based practices with empathy and understanding. We don’t see therapy as “fixing problems,” but as a journey of growth—one where you feel heard, valued, and empowered.
