Anxiety and Depression

If you are experiencing symptoms like low mood, low motivation and overall low sense of confidence/worth in yourself and your life, you are not alone. Overthinking or catastrophizing can limit how we can live our life to the full extent, I help clients understand their triggers, protective mechanisms and individual circumstances to build effective coping styles to better take care of oneself.

Relationship Issues

Quality of our interpersonal relationships significantly impact the quality of our life. Given the stress and pace of life, our personal relationships can sometimes become neglected. I bring in an emotionally focused approach using Gottman Methods to help couples move through three phases of relationship therapy - The Discernment Phase (Is this for us?/Is this still worth it?), The Skills Building Phase (Repair from hurt and ruptures using tools to communicate and de-escalate conflicts) and The Lived Experience Phase (put into practice and experience satisfaction)

Stress and Adjustment

I recognize the impact of daily life hassles as they top up existing challenges which could be more chronic in nature. With a better understanding of how we tick, how we process our emotions and think through challenges, we can gain greater control over our stressors and find helpful ways to deal with them. It is helpful to take this approach when dealing with personal stressors or workplace challenges like emotional exhaustion and burnout.

Imposter Syndrome

Finding who we are in the context of personal and professional life as well as what others think of who we are can be a complex problem to solve. Often in the context of workplaces, you may find yourself not fitting in quite right or not being able to demonstrate your full capacity. Some of the reasons can lie outside of you - the way your job is designed, the team dynamics or the overall company culture. Some of these can also lie within you - the role models and beliefs that we have grown up with. In our therapeautic work, we gain insight into themes like perfectionism, unrelenting standards and self confidence to build ways to strengthen our self concept to succeed at work.

Job Loss and Redundancy

Given the changing economic headwinds, redundancies are unfortunately becoming more commonplace in big & small organizations. A break in this psychological contract between the employee and the employer can be emotionally damaging and shake up one's sense of identity. It can also take a toll on the dependents of the employee who has been let go. In our therapy sessions, we deconstruct it from processing what this change means for you, how it impacts your life and career progression, process complex emotions of anger, loss and grief while preparing for change. A sliding fee scale is also available at Flannel Psychology if your role has been made redundant.
