"To simply say that Michael Chin is an exceptional counsellor would not do justice to his compassion, his empathy, and his skill as a counsellor. It is no exaggeration to say that Michael saved our relationship, as he helped us to navigate the pitfalls of being with another individual. He taught us how to openly communicate with each other, deescalate and tr..." Read more

Before counselling, I was more withdrawn due to my anxiety and aggressive when loved ones converse with me. Fion helped me untangle my psyche until I could see crystal clear what..." Read more

"As someone who was joyful and energetic, a divorced family who were abusive and torn broke me. A friend of mine then introduced me to therapy and taught me the importance of prioritising my mental health and most importantly myself as a person. I was referred to Michael who was an awesome counsellor who really listened and asked the right question to got m..." Read more

Her innovative approach, using the concept of various parts within myself (anger, happiness, sadness, etc.), allowed me to have meaningful conversations with each "part" or aspect. Valerie guided me through a journey of self-discovery, helping me understand the under..." Read more

"I've struggled with bipolar disorder my whole life. After a major breakdown, I had to overcome my trauma before I could even start my road to recovery. It took 5 years to get back to a sense of normalcy, and I can honestly say Fion really helped with that whole ordeal. Therapy is a two-way street, but once you are willing to try, Fion's honestly really good..." Read more

"Fion helps to hold space for all the difficult feeling emotions and trauma. She slowly dissect it and address issue by issue. She does not rush it or schedule session too close to each other, which allows us to release and let emotion sink in then address the next. Only after 3 sessions, I felt a significant change in my life and things has change for the be..." Read more

The only reprieve was distracting myself with YouTube and games. Fion has been very supportive and has demonstrated her understanding of my troubles and inner conflicts. She always sounds back to me what I said to..." Read more
