The Therapist
Hi there! I'm Lela, a passionate therapist with 15 years experience with neurodiverse infants, children, adolescents and adults. I specialise in challenging behaviours, non-functional communication, various developmental delays and diagnoses. I have worked with persons with ASD, GDD, ID, ADHD, MD, DS, SPD, OCD, Kabuki syndrome, and those at-risk.
I have also supported families, caregivers, seniors, educators, and healthcare professionals in these areas: stress, fatigue, burntout, relationship issues, identity, grief, trauma, and emotional well-being.
It is my calling to support you in your journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment.
Supporting Your Journey
Engaging in meaningful conversations with your trusted confidants, reading self-help articles, and dedicating time to self-care are incredibly beneficial. Allow me, a credentialed and registered therapist to also walk with you on this transformative journey, guiding you towards a brighter life.
As a dedicated mental health professional, I strive to delicately unravel the intricacies of your thoughts and emotions, facilitating a deeper exploration and understanding of your inner self. I strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment for you to share openly and without judgement. Let me help you re-imagine your life.
Professionalism And Experience
Growing up in a multi-cultural society has given me the opportunity to experience various cultures. Moreover, as an avid traveller who’s passionate about experiencing and understanding cultures, I'm more accepting of others. I practice cultural sensitivity; I respect, understand, and value varied opinions, perspectives, and principles.
With extensive experience in working with persons of all ages, from various walks of life, and a vast history of client success, my holistic approach will help you and your loved ones attain healthier well-being through cultivating an empowered sense of identity, alignment, and self-regulation. Let my knowledge and lived experiences help you heal, grow, create the life you imagine, and get a renewed sense of self. Allow me to embark on this journey with you.
