Life Transitions Counseling and Therapy in Singapore for a Meaningful Career
What does it mean to be authentic at work?
You’ve been assigned to take on work that is, for lack of a better word, lame.
You’re tired of spending time on illogical tasks but hey – it is what it is, right? This job offers a beneficial means to an end. It’s a trade-off you chose.
Still, you struggle when work that doesn’t make sense to you comes your way. There is a hierarchy to observe. There are only so many ways to relay objections politely.
So you pick your battles and stay silent. You want to respect power structures and play the part.
But you wonder if there may be a way to be a top performer and still feel like yourself.
Through Existential Therapy, our life transitions counseling invites you to consider that we have multiple selves, rather than one True Self.
Our sessions will guide you to navigate the tensions of your different selves and having (and using) your voice in collectivistic Asian workplace cultures.
Life Transitions Counseling can support you with:
- Navigating challenges with more intentional awareness
- Understanding work-induced anxiety
- Identifying the next steps forward amidst uncertain futures
- Holding and unpacking paradoxical emotions
Life Transitions Counselling for Expats
Was it a mistake to leave everything behind?
Migrating to a foreign land can be physically and emotionally exhausting.
Leaving behind everything you’ve known – your family, friends, the familiar comforts of your home – is a painful and difficult process. Starting from scratch in new cultures and ways of life can be scary and isolating.
Even with the freedom and opportunities for growth through migration, it takes courage to make the decision to migrate and strength to navigate the challenges that come with it.
Through Existential Therapy, our life transitions counselling helps unpack why you, like so many others, have chosen to be foreigners. This journey often involves addressing relationship challenges as you rebuild connections in your new environment.
Learn to navigate the human needs for both a familiar home environment and the desire for new experiences beyond economic migration and simple wanderlust.

- Fulfill your individual potential in a foreign land
- Renew your relationship with freedom and independence
- Be open to new experiences in the mystery that is life
