Avis Fontaine is Taibeet Mind's Lead Mental Wellbeing Counsellor. Avis provides personalised Mental Health & Wellbeing Counselling to individuals (adults, seniors and students), couples and families, by helping them with a wide range of issues including Anxiety, Stress, Burnout, Grief & Loss, Depression, Work Struggles, Career Changes, Relationship challenges, Marital & Divorce issues, Body Image Issues and Life Transitions.

Avis has a particular interest in helping her clients build personal resilience, self-empowerment, self-confidence, and stronger and more harmonious marriages and relationships. She also has a special interest in coaching to empower clients to realise their full potential.

Having achieved her goals in her business life, she left the corporate world in her 50s, to pursue Professional Counselling: she wanted to help people with their life and mental health challenges, to help them enhance their mental wellbeing and achieve a happier and healthier life.

Sometimes we feel weighed down and thrown out of balance. Avis believes that with some help we can have the weight lifted and balance restored in our lives.

Avis uses a Client-centred Customised Eclectic Approach: this approach involves combining counselling techniques drawn from different evidence-based counselling modalities to develop an intervention most suited to the client’s specific needs and goals. Her approach draws on Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) and Solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

She is described by her clients as warm, empathetic, non-judgmental, easy to talk to, good listener, respectful, calming and perceptive. These qualities enable clients to easily open up to her and in that process gain invaluable insights into their struggles.

Her Counselling Clients enjoy working with her because she is mature, experienced, trustworthy, professional, organised and helped improve their lives with her intervention methods. Her broad life experience has been an invaluable resource in her counselling work with clients. Avis is very international and is sensitive to a diverse range of cultural backgrounds and issues, having been to over 20 countries in the last 30 years, and having lived in Singapore, Australia, the UK, France and Switzerland. She is adept at and very comfortable with interacting with a wide spectrum of people, young and older: from CEOs, business professionals and young executives, to homemakers, seniors and students.

Avis is a former C-level Business Executive with a successful 30-year corporate career, in which she held senior positions in industries spanning Technology, Marketing, Education and Retail.

Feedback from some of Avis' Clients:

University student with anxiety:
“Avis is a great counsellor who goes beyond my expectations…She is also empathetic and non-judgmental, always encouraging me to speak my thoughts without pushing the narrative or concluding it carelessly. Also, she was able to structure a few goals and kept track of them weekly. This allowed me to feel engaged and motivated with a direction in my life without feeling like recurring problems in my life are unsolvable. I am grateful to Avis for her help, and will gladly say that she has greatly improved my life.”

Female in early 40s with psychological and emotional abuse issues:
“I met Avis during the darkest times that I had experienced in my life. From the onset, she was able to create a safe space for me to open up and share my fears, anguish and inhibitions. While she heard me patiently, she didn’t let me wallow in my misery. She let me grieve and express my loss and pain but also showed me ways to cope and heal…I was unable to identify anything positive or beautiful in my life condition. It was Avis who helped me shift my focus and acknowledge my achievements and blessings...Avis has been most instrumental in creating this new and better version of myself.”

Couple in their early 50s:
“Counselling has helped us both immensely to work through issues we couldn’t on our own. It helped us confront issues and emotions we were sometimes avoiding. It enabled us to reflect on issues and gain a different perspective. We also found ourselves more ready to share our thoughts and feelings with each other.”
