I've been through quite a bit searching for a therapist whose techniques work on me. It's challenging as I felt it depends on the therapist's approach and how they are able to build a trusting and safe environment. It is important that a therapist is able to provide a safety netting, 'pulling' you back in time when he or she spots me drifting away during, in between and after sessions.
I was really fortunate, blessed and honoured to have met Anthony. Among the therapists I've met and attended their therapy sessions, he is one who is selfless, willing to guide me through the process, take time to explain some of the medical terms, and also ensure that I'm aware of the techniques he intends to use. He also gives me homework before and after sessions to keep me prepared. Not only did I learn about the treatment (EMDR) he is providing to me, but my wellbeing also improved after a few sessions.
I feel that his presence, passion, attentiveness, caring and nurturing nature and also sincerity and readiness are some of his traits. Apart from these, his experience is something that helps me to bounce back safely from each session.
Anthony has helped me resolved some of the past issues I've been struggling for years. It feels like he has saved my life and lifted me to where I should have been. The next time if I ever need to seek professional support, he will be the first on my list whom I would think of going to. Likewise, if anyone were to ask me for a recommendation, it would be Anthony.
Yes, and it is important to also be patient and compassionate towards yourself :) It's not easy but with Anthony, I feel I'm in safe hands. Thank you Anthony!

I have been a client of Anthony’s for over a year. Anthony is very approachable and relatable, which puts me at ease, and I feel comfortable sharing whatever is on my mind. I have a history of depression and anxiety and Anthony’s techniques have helped me understand the causes and triggers, and we talk about possible solutions as well. I think therapy is an important part of everyone’s self-care journey - I highly recommend having a chat with Anthony to see how he can help with your mental health journey.

"With a career changed in my mid-40s, I met with tons of challenges at work. I started to doubt my abilities, capabilities and experiences which I have accumulated over the 20 years. Just when help seems far, I chance upon the career counselling services provided by Psykey. Anthony was extremely patient with me. He allowed me to express freely on my pain point, and I felt extremely comfortable during the sharing session. At the end of the session, I have a clearer understanding of my strength and weakness and a better idea of how I can cope with the challenges faced at work. The session has also allowed me to get a good overview of the kind of job that I would thrive in. I will definitely do a follow-up session with Anthony for the other services that he provides and I strongly encourage those with similar issues like mine to try out a few sessions with him."
I had the opportunity to have Anthony as my Clinical Supervisor during my practicum as I learn to become a counsellor. He is a dedicated supervisor who was always ready to invest more hours in helping me with my learning journey.
Instead of just playing his role as a clinical supervisor, Anthony takes this role to the next level of being a trusted mentor towards me. In my journey, I personally struggled with a lack of confidence in my learning journey and life in general. Not only did Anthony helped me with focussing on the tasks I had difficulties in, but he also took the time to get to know me on a personal level in his own remarkable way. He has positively changed my perception of my lack of self-confidence and the critical views of my abilities. Little by little, he had helped me to remove my personal barriers, and I found myself being more effective as an individual training to be a counsellor.
As a supervisor, Anthony showed dedication and kindness in effectively helping me learn. He took the extra effort to understand what my learning style is and cater his coaching to suit my style. Besides this, Anthony shares not only many useful books related to counselling but also books that help me see myself in a more positive light.
Anthony’s dedication in his coaching and heart to bring out the best in a person in a way that is supportive, non-judgemental, and passionate is one that I have not come across. Anthony’s sincerity and genuine care towards the people around him is palpable. If you are looking for a person who coaches with his heart, cares for your learning growth, as well as your growth as an individual, look no further because I assure you that Anthony is the man to look for.
I got to know Anthony while I was doing my CTRT certification. I find him very patient, helpful, and ethical while he was helping me in my certification. I decided to ask him to be my supervisor after I finished my certification. Our Supervision sessions were very useful and helpful, which enable me to gain new knowledge after each session. What worked well for me was Anthony was never judgmental, and that was important to me.
"As a counsellor, Anthony is able to identify his client's needs early in the process. This allows him to plan effective sessions that align with your goals, I have observed how he uses counselling tools that he specialises in (CTRT and Narrative Therapy) that enable clients to reach these goals well and fast.
As an associate, Anthony has also provided emotional and instrumental support in a social setting.
As a professional counsellor, Anthony combines his precise clinical skills with an endearing personality to achieve the best goals for his clients. As a friend and a registered social worker myself, I am able to identify and appreciate his skills as a counsellor and emotional companion. As a client, you would be able to benefit from his clinical skills as well as short term to long term support.
