Ms Lilian Ong

Registered Counselor

“I help people navigate life more effectively, heal and grow from past wounds, and overcome current challenges. Whether you are a young adult adjusting to the realities of work and independent living, a career-minded individual trying to prevent burnout, a parent juggling multiple demands and wondering if you are doing enough, or a lonely soul carrying the weight of intense emotions, I can provide a safe, supportive space for you to rest and recover, gain new insights and skills, and move toward a more fulfilling life.”

About Me

With over 20 years of counselling experience across both the public and private sectors, I offer personalised, insightful, and compassionate support. My approach is person-centred, drawing on evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness. Together, we'll explore your strengths, build on your existing capacities, and develop practical ways to navigate life's challenges more effectively. My aim is to support you in moving towards healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.

Approach

In our sessions, we'll take time to understand what's going on beneath the surface with curiosity rather than judgment. We'll also focus on practical ways to care for yourself, cope with difficult emotions, and navigate everyday challenges. I offer in-person sessions that move at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we'll notice patterns, explore what has and hasn't been helping, and try simple strategies and exercises to support healthier habits, strengthen daily routines, and create meaningful change over time.
