Pronouns: He/Him
Clinical Counsellor
Hi, I’m Alvin, a counsellor based in Singapore.
I have over six years of experience supporting adults through the less visible, yet deeply felt challenges of life—burnout, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and the gradual sense of losing touch with who you are or what you need.
Many of the clients I work with are professionals who are used to "keeping it together." They often seek support not because things have fallen apart, but because something quieter has shifted and their usual ways of managing have stopped working. I also specialise in working with men who may find it difficult to seek support, caregivers used to putting others first, and individuals navigating complex family or relationship dynamics.
I came to this work through my own understanding of what it means to struggle; that lived experience makes this more than just a job for me. I genuinely enjoy the process of journeying with people through difficult times, and I don't believe in rushing toward a resolution.
My approach is person-centered, meaning I meet you where you are and help you make sense of patterns that may have been running in the background for years. I aim to be direct without being prescriptive, creating a space that clients often describe as safe, reliable, and unhurried.
Outside the therapy room, I find restoration in hiking and being in nature. I bring that same spirit of slowing down and being present to my work, helping you develop a clearer sense of yourself so you can move forward with confidence.
