Powering Up to Face Upcoming Challenges

I am very grateful to Joseph who has been a wonderful pillar of support for me since December 2019.

It took me months before I could take the first step to seek professional assistance again. Not only do I need a counsellor who is experienced in workplace issues and personal development, but also someone who could really understand me and recognise what I need even when I couldn’t find the right words.

It helps that the team at Singapore Counselling Centre is so helpful and responsive in making the earliest possible appointment for me despite a short notice. The centre is professionally-manned and I do not feel like I am being judged or made uncomfortable.

During the sessions, Joseph always listened attentively to what I had to say. He is encouraging yet genuine with his feedback in a positive and assuring way. He does not sugar coat his words but rather, he shares practical feedback that could really help me to overcome or resolve painful episodes.

Being an idealist workaholic, I have high expectations of myself and those around me. This is a double-edged sword that may not sit well with most people in my current work environment. Joseph aligned my thoughts to the real world and helped me understand how I can strive forward. After all, everybody goes to work with different agendas. I accepted that not everybody is single-minded or motivated enough to give their best each time. He is very generous in sharing nuggets of wisdom in psychoeducation which is useful for me to learn more about my condition (mild depression, burnout and anxiety) and how I can better cope with it.

I may not be 100% there yet, but I certainly feel more empowered to navigate and face upcoming challenges knowing that I am well supported.

Thank you Joseph for navigating life challenges with me at my darkest hour.
