Reaching Out For Professional Help Is Key

counselling and therapy for anxiety issues

Reaching out for professional counselling and therapy is an extremely courageous step one can take to improving one’s life and well-being. This applies to cases of specific emotional, psychological or mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger management, grief and loss or compulsive behaviours. The same is true of broader issues such as identity crisis, life transition challenges, family or relationship struggles or the confusion of navigating through particular experiences in life. If you are facing similar struggles, we want to help you in your journey on your way towards refocus, renewal and rejoicing in your life.

With more than two decades of experience between them, our team of counsellors and therapists are well-placed to work with individuals, couples and families towards greater self-discovery, deeper personal and interpersonal understanding, healing, compassion, growth and empowerment to live the life one desires.

Respecting Your Individuality and Uniqueness

At In Focus, we recognise and respect that everyone is unique, so is each person’s story, experiences and situation. Our counselling and psychotherapy services are client-centred. Our counsellors and therapists believe in working collaboratively with you to help you understand your own story and experiences to better manage your situation and struggles, while keeping in sight the bigger vision of what matters to you.

Besides providing that safe, compassionate and empathic environment, our counsellors and therapists draw on a number of professional counselling and therapy approaches, skills and experiences in the field to best serve you and your needs. Our counsellors will work with you to help you grow and thrive by :

  • Better understanding your emotional struggles, including your feelings, thoughts and action, and their underlying reasons;
  • Discovering ways that work for you to gain more effective control of your life; and
  • Developing meaningful plans towards your goals and put them into action in a way that brings you closer to what you want, including your important relationships.

What Is Counselling and Psychotherapy?

Counselling is talk therapy treatment that focuses mostly on specific life issues such as adjustment to changes, emotional or mental health issues, employment issues, and marriage or family issues. Such adjustment, development, or situational concerns are relatively brief and short in the treatment.

Psychotherapy is talk therapy used when dealing with “deeper” issues, most commonly where past experiences are causing on-going distress and interfering with life satisfaction. In psychotherapy, the work focuses on addressing these past experiences that still impact the present, and the client focuses on ways of being in the world and relating to others beyond specific issues they face in life.

Master of Guidance and Counselling (MGC)

Counsellor Masters in Guidance and Counselling (MGC), James Cook University Bachelor of Arts (Psychology), University of Buffalo New York State

I have always had a keen interest in working with children and youth. I find it fulfilling and meaningful to be working, supporting and guiding them, and I now have more than eight years of experience in this area. After graduating from the University of Buffalo, New York State with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, I started working with children and youth with Special Needs in early intervention. From my interactions with my clients over these years, I have come to see that being able to provide the emotional support that they and their families need is very important.

Being diagnosed with dyslexia and tactile defensives (Sensory Integrative Disorder), I remember the unconditional and judgement-free support I received from families and friends that got me through the various challenges. Therefore, I aim to offer the same unconditional support and judgement-free interaction to all my clients. Through my personal experience, I understand how crucial it is for individuals to develop a strong emotional foundation and a support network, especially those in similar circumstance. Therefore, I strongly believe in journeying and supporting individuals through stressful times, and in working with their loved ones through the strengthening of the bonds within the family unit.

I am trained in the major counselling and therapeutic approaches and also in Choice Theory Reality Therapy and Behavioural Therapy. My work is informed by Person Centred Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy. Beyond children and youth, I have counselled clients in other settings and age groups including young adults and families. I am particularly interested in supporting people in building resilience and skills to cope with stress, anxiety adjustments and overall socio-emotional needs. Given my own personal and work experience, I firmly believe that everyone deserves a chance in a fulfilling life. To better support my clients, I am currently pursuing my certification for Choice Theory and Reality Therapy after obtaining my Masters in Guidance and Counselling at James Cook University.

Evelyn Rochelle Koh

Senior Principal Counsellor, Counselling Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor

Master of Social Science (Counselling), CTRTC, EFT, EFCT
Clinical Supervisor & Instructor (Senior Faculty of William Glasser International & William Glasser Institute, Singapore)

Certified Human Behaviour Analyst (DISC)
Certified PREPARE-ENRICH

I developed a passion in counselling when I started out as a school volunteer counsellor working with youth. I saw the transformative power of the counselling relationship on the youths in school and even later in life beyond school. This was a life changing experience for me and I was spurred to setup my own private counselling and psychotherapy practice in 2004. That was a time when there were few counselling and consultation services in Singapore. Since then, I have been working with youths, couples, parents, working adults on their emotional issues and mental health and well-being through counselling and psychotherapy for over 20 years.

Beyond helping my clients within the counselling room, I believe in tapping on the multiplier effect to bring healing and strength to individuals, and relationships between couples and within families. I thus expanded my work and I now devote a large portion of my time towards raising the skills and competencies of the helping profession through lecturing, training, clinical supervision and consultancy services.

My area of passion and specialisation is Choice Theory, Reality Therapy, Lead Management (CTRTLM) because it is highly empowering. I thus find great joy in training counsellors, therapist, social workers, coaches, leaders and managers in this area.  I am also trained in Emotion Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy and Gottman Couples Therapy and my work is also informed by therapeutic models such as Positive Psychology, Humanistic Therapy, Experiential Therapy and Systemic Family Therapy.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with organisations across different sectors, ranging from Youth Centers, Family Service Centers and Specialist Centers to the Health Promotion Board (HPB) and Ministry of Education (MOE). The latter two involved projects where I was able to share my passion for helping youth in Singapore. With the HPB, I helped develop the Peer Support Program for youth and conducted training for youth leaders from tertiary institutions and for those involved in the online peer support network “Youthpals”. With the MOE, I conducted cluster training for school counsellors and teachers on counselling and therapy skills to better help our students.

It is also my firm conviction that all situations of loss and pain can be opportunities for deep healing, growth and connection. I have thus been committed to providing regular training on the topic of “Grief and Loss” to social service practitioners through the Social Service Institute (SSI).
