About Me

This child psychotherapist offers a compassionate, competent approach, drawing on nine years of experience with children and their parents. Holding a Masters in Counseling, they create a secure space. Here, young clients feel safe to express big feelings and make sense of their experiences. Parents also gain practical ways to support their child's emotional well-being. Families find a trusted guide for navigating life's challenges together.

Approach

At my sessions in Singapore — available in English and Tamil, and online — I focus on creating predictable, calm rhythms that help children feel safe to explore difficult feelings. Through play, gentle assessment and close collaboration with caregivers, I follow each child’s lead while offering practical strategies parents can use between meetings. Pacing is attuned and deliberate, with short check-ins and small, achievable steps so progress feels tangible. This way of working often helps families navigating trauma, grief, behaviour or adoption-related transitions.
