our story

Gentle Mind started from my own experience sitting on the other side of the room. Years earlier, working briefly in an institutional setting, I saw how it was possible for people to feel unheard, how a session could pass without them ever feeling truly understood, even when nothing was technically “wrong” with the process. When I sought therapy myself, I felt that same gap of a hard time finding a therapist I clicked with, not knowing what to say, and worrying whether they could really relate to me. So i decided to build a counselling practice in Singapore that feel warm, unhurried, and free of agenda.

Since 2018, we have supported individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, stress, burnout, periods of transition, uncertainty and personal growth.

our approach to counselling

At Gentle Mind, we are dedicated to providing ethically responsible, and the highest standards of counselling and psychotherapeutic care.

Our practice is rooted in the belief that every individual possesses the resilience and inner resources that they can tap into.

We draw from evidence-based therapeutic approaches and years of clinical experience to tailor our counselling approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each client. Our work is highly collaborative. We may offer perspectives, questions and gentle challenges to support the process, while respecting your individuality, autonomy and capacity to make choices about your own life.

Each client is approached with empathy, respect, and genuine care.

Meet Our Counsellors

See if we are the right fit

We understand the decision to start therapy can be difficult and daunting, so we hope to answer any questions or uncertainties anyone may have about the process of counselling by offering a 20 minutes free no obligation consultation.

This short consultation will also provide the opportunity for you to meet with the counsellor of your choice to determine if the therapist you meet is a good fit for you.

We treasure the trust placed on us, and are committed to ensuring the safety and privacy of our clients.

There is no obligation to continue with a full counselling session.
