My Therapeutic Journey

“I am in therapy to learn social and communication skills, improve my self-esteem, and have better perspective-taking, especially in my interaction with peers. These are essential skills that I require specific coaching in given that I have autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Xinyi has provided me with a conducive space to focus on self-development in a positive manner, which allows me to recognise and build on personal strengths, thereby improving my internal self-image and self-worth. Through the therapeutic and expertly-guided self-discovery sessions, Xinyi has not merely encouraged but has also facilitated constructive conversations and the development of insight without an air of condescension or sanctimony. This partnership has proved constructive as I feel safe and able to discuss issues without fear of receiving peremptory replies and imperious tones as would normally be heard in other discussions with adult or authority figures.

I am looking forward to more emotional discovery in a guidance-oriented space in which I can express and untangle issues of personal concern without pressure and in a genuine, non-judgemental manner.”
