Carol Goh Professional counsellor, therapist, and coach in Singapore With over 18 years of counselling and therapy experience under my belt, I have provided professional counselling services for youths, adolescents, adults, expats, couples and families. I specialise in uncovering the root cause of presenting issues, facilitating growth from the ‘inside out’, that is, facilitating inner change leading to outer change by focusing on the ‘root cause’. I have worked with diverse segments of clients ranging from those suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, self-harm, eating disorder, to anger issues. I have also worked with many married couples facing marital and relationship issues. Having successfully helped many of my clients to recovery and regain mental wellness, the key lies in identifying some common core debilitating sources that are fueling such behavioural issues. As a psychotherapist I believe problems must be worked through therapeutic healing of the inner self or else they remain forever a barrier to living an effective and successful life. Through non-judgemental approach I want to know your story and life challenges and eventually work towards helping you to feel empowered.
