Anxiety Counselling & Treatment
It is estimated that 6% of the Singapore population suffer from some form of anxiety disorder or panic attack.
Anxiety can feel like you’re always worrying, fearful or stressed. Your body goes into the “fight or flight” response so you might feel uneasy every day with the inability to concentrate. The worrying can be over situations or issues that other people don’t seem to be as bothered by. You might worry about work constantly even when you’re not working and feel anxious over small events.
Symptoms of anxiety disorders can include insomnia, overthinking, panic attacks, nightmares and night sweats, lack of appetite or rapid weight loss, breathlessness, headaches, nausea, jaw pain, chest pains and tightness in the chest, stomach pain, numbness or restlessness
Many anxiety triggers are related to stress. Anxiety counselling can help you understand why you are feeling the way you do and explore your worries and fears. You learn more about the thoughts, feelings and behaviors behind your anxiety, and develop strategies to manage the symptoms of anxiety.
We may also use deep relaxation techniques to help you learn to calm the thoughts in your head so you can concentrate better. You learn to balance your thinking so you are not plagued by constant worrying.
Anxiety Therapist
I am a registered counsellor with the Singapore Association of Counselling and accredited coach by the International Coaching Federation with a Masters in Professional Counselling from Swinburne University (Australia).
I specialise in working with executives and entrepreneurs to make them better professionals and partners while working through issues such as stress and anxiety. When you restore balance in your mental health, you can be more effective in prioritizing your responsibilities while improving your productivity and building stronger working relationships that benefit the people around you.
I can work with you in a relaxed and confidential environment in my clinic at Tanglin Shopping Center or online in the privacy of your office or home. Flexible time slots including evening hours are offered to fit in with your busy schedule.
I have over 10 years of experience in helping executives struggling with mental exhaustion and burnout to regain their lives again. I guide individuals to identify key stressors and learn new skills to minimize their impact through evidence-based treatments.
My approach is direct and compassionate and I sometimes use humour in the counselling process. 9 out of 10 clients found that they quickly regained clarity, confidence and motivation after the first counselling or coaching session with me.
