Hello. I'm Wen Bin, a Counsellor in Training at IASH.SG.

Finding someone to talk to about what's actually going on - the stuff you don't say out loud -- is hard. There's pressure in finding the right person: someone you can trust, who won't judge, and who genuinely understands what it's like to be stuck.

I entered the mental health space as a client first. I know what it's like to carry shame, to lose confidence in yourself, and to feel like there's no way forward. I've been at rock bottom — depressed, hopeless, unable to see a way out. Counselling didn't fix me overnight. But it helped me rebuild, piece by piece.
 

That experience is why I do this work. I believe people are more capable than they give themselves credit for — including you.

A bit about me

 

I'm completing my Master of Counselling through Flinders University (ECTA) and seeing clients at IASH as part of my training. Outside of sessions, I'm at the gym, on a run, or planning the next mountain to hike.

 

I believe physical health and mental health are part of the same conversation. Getting outdoors and disconnecting from the noise is one of the most grounding things a person can do. I also read widely on philosophy and existential ideas — not as an academic exercise, but because I think the big questions matter more than we admit.

 

My approach, I show up genuinely, without judgement, and I don't pretend to have all the answers. I draw on CBT to help untangle thought patterns that keep you stuck, and values-based work from ACT to help you figure out what actually matters and take real steps toward it.

You set the pace. We don't go anywhere you're not ready to go. But I'm also not here to just nod along — when something's worth naming, I'll name it. That's where the real work happens.
