Hello! I'm Andrea, a Counsellor in Training at IASH.SG.

​​

Before embarking on my transition to become a counsellor, I worked in corporate, where I led mental health and wellbeing initiatives for employees. But even with this support in place, I continued to see employees burnt out, overwhelmed, and emotionally distressed.

My own lived experience with emotional and mental health struggles also made me realised that deep inner work is essential to bring lasting healing and transformation.

Our emotional world, when left unacknowledged, can sometimes become a roadblock to our growth. I am passionate about helping you gently untangle those inner complexities so you can heal, thrive, and live in a way that feels true to who you are.

​

My Approach

If you are here, it likely means you have been carrying a heavy emotional weight by yourself for a long time. You may be feeling stuck and uncertain on how you can move forward.

During our sessions, we will unpack how you came to carry this emotional weight through gentle explorations of your past and tuning into your thoughts, emotions and physical sensations with curiosity, acceptance, and self-compassion.

​

Our work will also involve charting steps you can take to move towards a future or a version of yourself that you desire through alignment and grounding on values that matters most to you and drawing on strengths that already exists within you.

​

Counselling can feel intimidating but I cherish your brave decision to seek support. I welcome you as you are, whatever your religion, race, sexuality, or whether you are neurodivergent or living with a disability. This is a space where all parts of you are seen, respected, and valued.

You don’t have to struggle alone anymore. Let us work together to restore the peace and clarity you deserve in your life. 

Some of my lived experiences which might resonate with you:

Clinical depression, anxiety, finding one’s identity, emotionally abusive relationship, childhood emotional neglect, work conflicts
