Gordon is a registered counsellor and clinical member of the Singapore Association of Counselling. His passion for counselling was shaped by years of work across non-profit organisations and healthcare services, where he witnessed the power of reflective, compassionate conversations to help individuals, particularly those underserved to reclaim their voices and reimagine their futures. These early experiences instilled in him a deep belief that healing begins when people feel truly heard, respected and understood.

With training and practice across both pubic and private sectors, Gordon has worked with a broad spectrum of therapeutic approaches and client concerns. This diverse exposure reinforced his view that therapy is never a one-size-fits-all process, but a deeply personal journey requiring flexibility, curiosity and sensitive attunement to each individual's unique story

As a trauma-focused counsellor, Gordon adopts a compassionate, collaborative and exposure-informed approach in supporting individuals through trauma-related concerns. Apart from his training in Schema Therapy, TF-Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Walk & Talk Therapy, he also specialises in:

  • Chair work for unfinished intrapersonal businesses and parts.
  • EMDR for PTSD and trauma-related concerns.
  • Complex mental health conditions such as Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Personality Disorders, Depression and Anxiety.
  • Major life transitions, workplace stress, academic pressure and burnout.
  • Self-esteem, identity and existential challenges.

Grounded in authenticity and guided by a strong belief in human resilience, Gordon strives to create more than just a counselling space - he offers a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to take the lead in their healing journey. His role is not to direct nor prescribe, but to walk beside each individual with presence, curiosity and care, ensuring that every step forward is shaped by the client's pace, voice and hopes for change.

Beyond his clinical practice, Gordon extends his commitment to accessible care by serving on the committee of a non-profit organisation, where he continues to advocate for mental health support that is inclusive, compassionate, and available to all.
