Shirley Woon
“You are not stuck; you are just committed to a certain style of writing that you have enjoyed in the past. However, change is a constant in our lives. What used to work in the past, may not work now.
Whether you want to rewrite your story, edit your story or to create new patterns in your life, I would like to listen to your story.”
Clinical Experience
My experiences include helping individuals, married couples with married life issues, parent and child relationships, people who have been incarcerated, and individuals who struggle to live healthy mental and emotional life, among others.
I adopt an integrative approach when helping my clients. Instead of asserting strict adherence to one school of thought, I make use of elements from a range of therapeutic techniques, with the goal of establishing a course that is personally tailored to my clients. I believe that each person that comes is a unique individual.
Clinical Specialties
My clinical specialties are anger management, anxieties, depressive moods, self-worth, mindset shift, pre-marital & marital concerns, pre-natal, pre-parenting & parenting concerns, family relationships just to name a few. I also work with individuals who may not face any challenges but just want to have a strong mental health.
Supervising, equipping, and sharing my knowledge with new counsellors/therapists is what I do too.
