I'm Valerie, a Counsellor in Training at IASH.SG.​

​​​​

I hold a Bachelor of Social Sciences (Sociology) from Nanyang Technological University and am currently pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling Psychology. I believe that many of our experiences—and the challenges we face—are deeply shaped by our circumstances and that which is beyond our control.

Even within these constraints, I believe we can find meaning, clarity, and resilience. I hope to journey through these changes with my clients, providing a space where they feel seen, heard, and emotionally supported.​

​

​

Why speak to me?

​​

I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental, and warm space where you can express yourself freely. Whether you’re going through uncertainty, transitions, or simply seeking to feel understood, I believe that support—even for the smaller struggles—can make a meaningful difference.

Therapy with me is about being present with you, wherever you are in your journey, and helping you reconnect with your own voice, values, and hopes.

 

My Approach

 

My primary modality is Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), which places great importance on the therapeutic relationship, empathy, and authenticity. I also hold interests in art therapy, narrative therapy, and existential therapy, which I may draw upon to deepen the exploration of your lived experience, values, and the meaning you make of your story. Together, we can co-create a space that supports your healing, self-awareness, and personal growth.
