Counseling Perspective

Client Testimonials

A pair of black quotation marks on a white background.

Irene has been able to apply her knowledge that are specifically relevant to my situation and has taught me a new meditation technique. It has enabled me to get restful sleep each night that I'm reducing my melatonin intake. Hypnotherapy has helped me to realise self-discovery, empowering myself to find out what I'm going through in my life. I'm able to pinpoint the trauma from childhood which had deluded me with self identity issues. I am more aware that I can face such dissociation again in the future. Nonetheless, I have also begun to accept that my mind and body will know how to heal and embrace uncomfortable feelings as lessons of life.
