Hi, I'm Lin.

Hi, I’m Lin, a Registered Counsellor :)

Someone who is willing to walk alongside you when you need emotional support.

My approach to counselling aligns with the belief that everyone has a right to their feelings.
Having been through quite a fair bit in my life, I know life can be tough at times. What is ‘normal’ to some may not be ‘normal’ to everyone, and what is considered a ‘given’ may be a ‘privilege’ for others.
If you are feeling lost, anxious, overwhelmed, or helpless, and need someone to go through this journey with you, I am willing to do that. I believe you have the capability to overcome the obstacles you are facing now.
Together, we will validate your feelings, seek clarity, explore different perspectives, and work towards helping you feel more empowered and capable of change.

Why speak to me?

Being a wounded healer, I know how difficult things can be.
Sometimes, we find it difficult to share with our close ones how we feel. We are worried about being judged, dismissed, labelled, or told what to do. At times, we feel that we are adding burden to their lives by sharing too much.
I will listen to you with an open mind, validate your feelings, empathise, and support you emotionally.

I have helped people manage their emotions, navigate challenging situations, and learn to cope with various issues, including:

Low self-esteem, self-doubts or anxiety.
Relationship issues, whether in romantic, work, friendship, or family contexts.
Traumas – childhood or bad experiences.
Major life changes.
Asperger's syndrome.
Negative or intrusive thoughts.
Feeling lost while trying to please others.
Interpersonal and communication problems.
Couples and marital issues
Difficulties conceiving, pregnancy complications, or child developmental issues.

Client Reviews!

“Lin is everything we hoped for in a counsellor. We experienced her warmth & authenticity through her interactions with us. This made us feel comfortable and safe very quickly.

Couple therapy requires plenty of skills, including being able to maintain a fair balance & hold space for both parties.

During our counselling sessions, we felt that this is something Lin does superbly well & we never doubted that she has our best interests at heart.

Lin is extremely perceptive & client-centric. She captures the essence of how we feel, reflects it back to us accurately & is very skilful in drawing out the root of our issues. She is non-judgmental, often expressing curiosity & providing validation.

Lin is also professional, as demonstrated in the way she upholds client confidentiality, seeks consent & remains respectful at all times.

We are thankful to have her as our counsellor & have benefited greatly from her support. (FYI, this was not written by ChatGPT & it is our sincere testimonial for you, Lin!)”

“Lin has been very helpful so far. I particularly liked our latest session when she got me to pen down my thoughts so I can differentiate between my triggers, my emotions and my thoughts.

She's patient. She pre-empts what I might think or feel before she proceeds so that I'm more mentally prepared for what she will ask me to do.”

"I am truly thankful that I found this counsellor at a time when my world felt like it was crumbling. Lin is very kind and understanding, and is able to succinctly analyse my thoughts and feelings with a lot of patience.
She helped me to confront my fears and to move on with my life in a more positive way. I feel more confident in living my life more bravely and authentically. Thank you Lin! :)"

"It was a great experience going through therapy with Lin. She has provided a safe space for me to talk things out and helped me to process my emotions better. I am now more aware of how i feel and getting better at navigating and dealing with my emotions."

"Lin is a very kind, patient and supportive and counsellor and has helped me manage my mental health a lot over the last year, thanks for all the support! :)"

"I am very satisfied with my care from Lin. Even though I come in and pour my heart out haphazardly, she always lays out a plan for me to work on. As much as I like the structured solutions, I also appreciate the time she takes to help me acknowledge and process my emotions. Lin has truly made a change in my life that would not have been possible without her. I am grateful for our sessions."

If I had to describe her, she was... AMAZING.

Somehow, I felt that personal touch when we first met, and she managed to help me and my wife with guiding questions to open us up so much.

Right after the first session, I (not sure about my wife) felt so much more connected to my wife and the understanding between us became even deeper.

I told my wife: 'I wanna continue with this until our relationship is close to perfect'. That's how much this lady, Lin, has helped me in my relationship.

And she isn't a time watcher, she makes you feel like you're in a peaceful, comfortable and most importantly, safe zone to share. That's the most important thing that I feel is crucial for her clients to have.

I have nothing but praises for Lin, the list can go on but I have to end somewhere. Thank you Lin for all the advices, and sharing with us how we can better work on our relationship.
