My journey into counselling wasn’t a straight path, but rather a compelling exploration fueled by a deep desire to connect with and support others. Although this path was challenging, it has proved invaluable for my work as a counsellor. It taught me the value of creating space for every part of the self to be heard, embracing and working with these aspects rather than against them. And all the while, it fostered a genuine sense of deserving. As your counsellor-teammate-partner-in-crime, I bring this experience to our work together and am here to support you through your own unique journey.

Being a Filipino who’s attended many gatherings in her lifetime, I view our sessions as a metaphorical potluck. Just as a potluck brings together a diverse array of dishes, a counselling session invites you to bring your own unique experiences, and emotions to the table. In this setting, there’s no pressure to present anything perfect—Just like a potluck where the variety of dishes is cherished, your thoughts and feelings are welcomed and valued.
