Caroline Ho

I started my career in the banking sector and a personal experience changed my perspective of what I wanted for my career. I witnessed how counselling helps one to manage emotions and challenging periods of our lives. That is the point where the decision to be accredited as a counsellor was made. This lead me to join a non profit organisation where I supported clients facing different life stressors like relationships or work issues and suicide ideation. As your counsellor, my approach will be empathic and person-centered and will work with you to do manage the difficulties you are facing. I am also a Provisional Clinical Member of Singapore Association for Counselling.

What are you most excited about within the evolving mental health landscape?

Focus on mental health has brought a lot of attention in recent years and it is long overdue. I am delighted to be part of this evolving landscape as it is a clear signal that people who experience certain form of mental challenges in their lifetime should feel safe and okay to seek counselling. It should not be seen as a taboo or a sign of weakness.

What do you do to continue learning and building competencies as a provider?

I see this practice as a journey of continuous learning and growing. I take pride in this growth by attending courses and counselling summits, interacting and engaging with practice experts to constantly broaden my perspectives. This is a very important process as it helps me gain exposure and knowledge which means I continue to up-skill myself to better help my clients.
