I came to Clarity Singapore feeling extremely unstable, I didn’t know what I wanted or needed. I just felt sad and wanted to escape reality so bad. Then I met my therapist and she has been so, so amazing in this journey. She was very patient with me throughout and was able to draw out a lot of strengths in me throughout the entire process. She taught me a lot of relaxation techniques to ground myself and made me realise a lot of things that I never thought I would realise. She helped me grow a lot personally and I’m eternally grateful to her.

I have a sounding board, someone to talk to and who was able to help me re-assess my perspectives and identify my blind spots so that I can get rid of negative thought patterns. This is my second time at Clarity Singapore. I appreciate that it provides affordable mental health care because something as critical as mental health should be accessible to more people.

Taking the first step is always scary, but I'm glad I did and Clarity Singapore has provided me with a safe space to do so. The therapy sessions were tailored to my needs and helped me cope better with situations back home. My therapist was patient with me and helped me understand myself better. She also taught me various techniques to calm myself/cope with different situations at home and work. She also offered to speak to my mum to address the concerns that I had. Through the sessions, I not only understand myself better but my mental health is also in a better place and my life has improved. I wish to thank Clarity Singapore and my therapist.

My therapist was kind, understanding and professional. I am grateful for having learned skills that have helped me cope with the various situations and mental states that I face, learn self-compassion, how to interact with others and manage my emotional state. It has not always been an easy journey, but I am thankful that I have been making progress – which is the most important thing!

When I came to Clarity Singapore (at a friend's recommendation), I was severely traumatised. By that, I meant I couldn't go a single session with my therapist without some kind of heavy sobbing involved. I was being traumatised on a weekly basis by my parents but going to therapy gave me the strength and willingness to establish boundaries and cut off my abusers, both familial and relationship-wise. Back then, I was very depressed and at some point, considered killing myself.

My therapist taught me coping techniques and provided a sympathetic listening ear for my troubles, and that told me that I was worth something and that I wasn't unreasonable or crazy for wanting not to put up with abuse. Now, about a year plus after I started therapy, I'm much healthier, more confident in my ability to establish boundaries and live in a place where I feel respected and happy. While I wouldn't say that I do not have bad days (mostly at work), I can confidently say this is the happiest I've been in my (very unhappy) life.

The regular check-ins [with my therapist] helped me to be positive and changed my negative thinking. It was very helpful to see that my thinking was skewed and that it had led to much of my stress. I still have to practise as I have a habit of worrying excessively about future events. I also found the EMDR therapy useful for some memories that have troubled me deep down and were the root of some problematic beliefs I had about others. I like many of the coping techniques taught throughout my sessions, even though I was sceptical at first. I definitely feel much more positive day to day now than before I began my journey with Clarity Singapore.

I am deeply grateful for having met my therapist at Clarity Singapore in this lifetime — I often think if it was not for her, I wouldn’t be here today. The sessions with her and having her support have contributed greatly to my self-growth and -development, knowing that there's someone who has my back, believes in me and never judges my thoughts, actions and feelings. Once again, I thank my therapist. I want her to know that she has made a difference in my life and that her positivity will always inspire me to do better, knowing that I can be better.

Therapy with Clarity Singapore has helped me feel more confident about myself, being equipped with the mental toolkit. The complete honesty exercise from the mental toolkit has helped me during times when I feel overwhelmed. Therapy has also helped me stop my negative automatic thoughts and manage the symptoms of schizophrenia.

I was the one patient who had the highest number of sessions with my therapist. She didn't give up on me. It was a journey that has helped me improve and start performing daily activities, like going out or even just going to the bathroom. I would use the methods and skills that my therapist has taught me to do whenever I am in an unsafe or uncomfortable situation. I would definitely recommend my therapist at Clarity Singapore to my friends and family.
