Rediscover Your Inner Compass

About me

Hi, I’m Sapna — a counsellor and psychotherapist based in Singapore.
My path into therapy wasn’t linear. After over 15 years in the finance world, I took a step back to reconnect with what truly mattered: supporting others in a meaningful and personal way.

Born in the UK to Indian parents, who were born and grew up in Africa, I was raised across multiple cultures. I have lived on three continents and now call Singapore home. As a third culture kid, expat, and mother, I understand how identity, belonging, and change can shape our inner worlds. These experiences deeply inform my approach—one that is attuned, inclusive, and grounded in the belief that healing begins with being seen and heard.

I’d love to share more of my story—and more importantly, walk alongside you in yours.

My Approach

I take a holistic, person-centred approach that is grounded in cultural sensitivity and respect for each client’s lived experience. I’m committed to creating a safe, inclusive space where individuals from all backgrounds feel seen, heard, and supported.

Based in Singapore, I offer in-person sessions locally, and also work with clients around the world through secure online therapy. This flexibility allows me to support individuals navigating life transitions, identity shifts, or emotional challenges—wherever they are.

Drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities, I tailor each session to meet the unique needs, values, and preferences of the individual. I work predominantly with adults and adolescents navigating life across different backgrounds and life experiences, addressing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, and unhelpful thinking patterns.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and deeply attuned to the nuances of identity and culture—supporting clients to move through difficulties, reconnect with their authentic selves, and grow into their full potential.

Therapy Approaches can include:

• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

• Solution Focused Therapy (SFBT)

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Mindfulness practices

• Clinical Hypnotherapy

"Sapna has been so patient with me — never dismissive, never pushy. She really listens. And she respects all my boundaries, which is such a big deal for me. I've shared some of the most vulnerable parts of myself with her, and I never once felt judged or unsafe. I'm really grateful I found her again. She's made this space feel like somewhere I can slowly figure things out without fear."

"Our sessions helped me to reflect on what is truly important to me and that in turn helped me to move towards building a life that is more aligned to my values. Sapna was patient, gentle and i felt really safe to express my thoughts and feelings. She also provided actual tools that i could use outside of sessions, which were really helpful!"
