About Gavin
Counsellor / Psychotherapist
-
I offer individual counseling, psychotherapy, and consultation within a safe, supportive, and compassionate space.
My approach is centered on building a genuine, caring relationship, helping clients gently explore the psychological challenges they face—whether related to emotions, behaviors, thought patterns, or relationships that shape their lives in the past, present, and future. Together, we’ll journey through your unique experiences to uncover choices and possibilities that can lead to personal growth and a more fulfilling, meaningful life.
I take an integrative approach, drawing on evidence-based therapies like person-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, existential therapy, narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing, to provide support that truly resonates with your needs.
I am also a registered provisional clinical member under the Singapore Association for Counselling.

Aside from being a Counsellor / Psychotherapist, I am currently working full-time in the Learning and Development space and has been in this field for more than 10 years with different MNCs. I have led and launched significant learning and people initiatives, such as Leaders Sharing and Support Circles, to encourage authentic conversations around work and life challenges and to provide emotional support.
In my leisure time, I enjoy exercising, spending time with my family and friends, practicing photography, and learning about history and psychology.
