Daniel's approach is practical, relatable, and refreshingly honest. He understands the Singaporean context deeply — the pressure to perform, the weight of family expectations, the "always-on" culture that leaves little room for rest. He uses EMDR to help clients process the experiences that fuel their burnout and self-criticism, while Solution-Focused Brief Therapy helps them build concrete steps toward a life that feels like their own. His clients describe him as "the older brother who actually listens."
He offers in-person sessions in Tanjong Pagar and telehealth across Singapore.
