Mrs Margilyn Villarosa

Licensed Professional Counselor

“A Counsellor that listens with the ear of the heart. Believes in the innate capacity of a person to overcome difficulties and achieve a more meaningful life.”

About Me

This counsellor offers a deeply empathetic space where you can feel truly heard. They believe in your innate strength, guiding you to navigate challenges and unlock your potential. Sessions centre on listening with the ear of the heart, helping you find clarity. This approach is ideal for anyone seeking to overcome difficulties and cultivate a more meaningful life.

Approach

When you arrive with whatever feels heavy, I attend with wholehearted listening that shapes gentle curiosity and steady pacing. In Bacolod City or online, in English or Tagalog, sessions move between focused reflection, small experiments to try between meetings, and practical check-ins that help steady mood, relationships, and identity exploration. I gently invite collaboration, sometimes supporting advocacy or linking you with community resources as needed. This way of working tends to suit adolescents, couples, and community members seeking steady, compassionate progress.
