Approach : I am predominantly trained in relational psychodynamic psychotherapy. The focus of psychodynamic psychotherapy is to expand your self-awareness. It is achieved through understanding how the conscious and unconscious aspects of your mental life could influence your experience and behaviour. With more self-awareness, you will gain increased freedom from your past, see more possibilities for the future and stay more fulfilled in the present.
In my practice, I adopt a relational and collaborative approach, supporting my clients to find more clarity and confidence in navigating their challenges. I believe in delving into their past experiences, especially their early life encounters, to cultivate a deeper understanding. By fostering a positive and deeper connection with their personal history and themselves, and by tapping into their unique strengths, my objective is to empower my clients to discover their inner roadmap to healing.
Background and Experience : I am originally from Malaysia and migrated to NZ in 2012. Having lived in different countries, navigated different cultures, and gone through some major life transitions myself, these experiences shaped my interest and empathy as a psychotherapist.
I have experience working in a range of settings, including the AUT Psychotherapy Clinic and the AUT Integrated Health Clinic, a mental health helpline, a respite facility and a residential behavioural intervention programme.
