With a passion for integrative healing, Michelle blends evidence-based psychological approaches with holistic mind-body practices.

Fluent in both English and Mandarin, Michelle brings a deep cultural awareness to her practice, especially attuned to the experiences of clients from diverse backgrounds. She fosters a warm, respectful, and safe space where individuals and couples feel genuinely seen and heard.
In her work with couples, Michelle treats the relationship as the central client, guiding partners to align their values, strengthen communication, and rebuild emotional intimacy. With individual clients, she supports personal growth by enhancing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience, particularly in areas such as anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, identity, and transitions.
In addition to her therapeutic work, Michelle is deepening her expertise in integrative health and wellness. She is currently completing specialised training through Harvard Medical School in Nutrition & Wellness Expertise Certification. She believes in a holistic and sustainable model of mental health—one that connects emotional wellbeing with lifestyle choices, nutrition, and embodied practices to support long-term, meaningful change.
Michelle has over a decade of experience studying Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and meditation. She strives to integrate mindfulness, compassion, and presence into her counselling work. Her integrative approach is dedicated to helping clients reconnect with themselves, restore balance, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.
