Hi, I’m Jeanette – counsellor and psychotherapist at The Mind Collected.

What I specialise in: 

I employ an eclectic blend of therapies tailored to each person’s specific needs and challenges. My mission is to guide individuals in embracing all facets of themselves, recognizing that there are no inherently "bad" parts within us—only aspects that may be misunderstood.

I specialize in assisting individuals dealing with a spectrum of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship issues. Additionally, I offer support in enhancing communication and assertiveness skills for clients seeking improvement in these areas.


Who I work with: 

Born in Malaysia, educated in London, and now residing in Singapore, I understand the complexities faced by busy professionals, global citizens and third-culture kids. My experience as a managing director and personal trainer has also attuned me to the challenges that individuals face in finding work-life balance.

Whether you're navigating the demands of a fast-paced corporate environment, setting boundaries, working on improving communication, or figuring out your identity in a new cultural context, I am here to provide support tailored to your unique experiences and goals.


WHAt TO EXPECT

I believe in a client-led approach, where your narrative takes center stage. Sessions are collaborative, ensuring you have an active role in shaping the therapeutic process. While I prioritize creating a comfortable and safe space, it's important to acknowledge that there may be challenging moments. I am here to support you through these moments when you are ready to face them. Your story, your voice, and your comfort are at the forefront of our work together.


mY PROMISE

Unconditional Support: I approach our sessions without judgment, committed to assisting you in achieving your desired outcomes. I firmly believe in being the ally everyone deserves, providing unwavering support and ensuring your story is not only heard but understood.

Collaboration and Empowerment:Your active engagement is vital in our therapeutic collaboration. I offer a range of evidence-based options, approaches, and practices, allowing you to set the pace that suits you best. Your autonomy is a priority – you decide the speed and direction of our journey. I firmly believe in your self-awareness, empowering you to play a central role in the decision-making process.

Nurturing Connection: In my practice, I deeply value the power of genuine connection. I openly encourage clients to speak their minds, fostering an environment where all voices are heard. It is my commitment to construct a safe and open space, ensuring a conducive atmosphere for therapy and your personal progress. Your thoughts and feelings matter, and I am dedicated to creating a space where our communication is not only comfortable but instrumental in refining our therapeutic journey together.
