My interest in psychology emerged when I started to notice that me and my sister have a completely different set of the way we see ourselves, others, and the world even though we grew up from the same family. With the curiosity, I started to embark in psychology, hoping to get a better understanding about human behaviour, mental processes and the scientific aspects of the human mind.
After I graduated, I worked as a customer service executive to enhance my communication skills and problem-solving abilities. After working for a year as a customer service executive, I decided to explore the mental health field by working as a client coordinator in a private mental health counselling centre.
The biggest takeaway from this job was the ability to assist clients in making decisions on how to access therapy services. I learned to actively listen to clients’ needs and purpose for seeking therapy and provide them with the necessary information and appropriate recommendations.
Also, throughout my daily interaction with clients in the centre, I noticed that most clients were more worried by the ideas that therapy by nature requires them to be open, honest and vulnerable which does not come naturally for so many people, and that inspired me to pursue Masters in Counselling to get a better understanding of what is counselling and therapy to help more people feeling safer to come in for their first session.
While studying for my masters, I took the opportunity to reach out to a counsellor to deal with the unfinished business of my past as I would like to be more in charge of my own life, less defeated by undesirable events, and better able to create for myself the kind of life I want.
From my personal counselling sessions, I experienced the struggle in showing up in sessions as I denied that I was hurt inside, which allows me to later realise that the desire to seek professional help requires a great deal of courage and determination towards growth and change.
Because of such experience, I learned the importance of creating a safe space for clients to be seen and heard, and I believe the importance of supporting clients to feel that they are not alone in their struggle.
As a therapist, I hope to provide a gentle, safe, respectful, empathic space for you to become curious and empowered to reach your full potential through connecting your mind and body and equipping you with the inner resources you need for a greater understanding of yourselves.
当我开始注意自己和姐姐尽管同一个家庭长大却有一套完全不同的方式看待自己、他人和世界时,我便开始对心理学产生了兴趣,并开始涉足心理学。
我希望通过此科系更了解人类的一些心理现象、意识和行为的科学。
学士毕业后,为了提高自己沟的通技巧和解决问题的能力,我选择在一家私人心理治疗中心担任客户协调员,更多的接触心理辅导或咨询方面的专业知识。
工作最大的收获是学会“倾听”,聆听来访者寻求治疗的需求和目的,再做有效地讲解治疗的服务与适合的治疗师。经过我与来访者的互动中发现,寻求治疗最担心说保持开放、诚实和脆弱的自己,也启发了我攻读辅导硕士学位,以更好地了解什么是辅导和治疗,以帮助更多人知道寻求治疗是安全的,无论第一次来治疗的你。
借着攻读硕士期间,我通过一位治疗师来处理自己的未竟事宜。第一,透过治疗的体验明白来访者的感受。第二,透过治疗帮助自己认清失去的掌控,减少被不愉快的事件打败,并且能够更好地创造自己想要的生活。从自己的个人治疗中,我经历了自我的挣扎,否认内心受过的创伤,这让我意识到寻求专业帮助确实需要很大的勇气和决心才达到成长和蜕变。自己的经历让我了解来访者需要一个安全的空间和被听见。这重要性让来访者感到自己不是一个人面对困难,我会陪同你一起面对。
我会提供一个温和、安全、尊重和同理的空间,让您更好奇并充满力量通过身心的疗愈和自己连接,能发挥自身的资源和潜能创造自己想要的生活。
