“When I first started seeing Xinyi, I’m not going to lie—I felt like I was drowning. Between the anxiety and depression and just trying to process past trauma, everything felt like a lot. I was struggling with my gender identity and body image, and on top of that, burnout and ADHD made it feel like my brain was constantly short-circuiting. It was hard to show up as a leader or even just feel okay in my own skin when my family dynamics were so heavy.

Working with Xinyi has honestly been a game-changer. She didn’t just give me generic advice; she helped me figure out how my own brain works. We tackled the executive dysfunction that used to make me freeze up, and using things like time-blocking actually helped me get my life together.

The best part was having a space where I could finally be comfortable with my queerness without feeling judged. Xinyi was basically my lifeline during the high-stress stuff, like Student Council elections and the chaos of Sec One orientation. Therapy became the one place where I could let out all the anxious and depressive thoughts, so they didn't have to explode elsewhere. It’s helped me realise I don’t have to carry everything by myself.

I feel so much more ready for whatever comes next because of what we’ve worked on. I’m really looking forward to continuing this with Xinyi and "future-proofing" my life ahead. I want to get better at navigating relationships, whether it’s with family, friends, or my ex, without my anxious attachment and "big overthinking" taking over the driver's seat.

I’m excited to keep hacking my ADHD so I can stay on top of things without burning out again. I know I’ll still need leadership advice and help reframing things when life gets messy, but I feel way more confident now. I used to feel like I was just trying to survive the day, but through my therapy with Xinyi, I’m finally learning how to actually lead my own life and be proud of who I am.”
