Wholehearted Therapy and Counselling

Yi Shan is a very sincere and meticulous Therapist. Her methods of using a scale to assess the level of trauma before and after each session is useful to help the client translate intangible emotions into a tangible scale so that we can monitor our progress.

The MEMI sessions were fabulous and especially helpful. After each session, I would feel a headache and be very tired. But as I get enough rest, i will heal and emerge stronger. Within 3 sessions, I was able to heal my childhood and early adulthood trauma and return the level of trauma to a safety zone. Gradually, my reliance on psychiatric medication also reduced. I would recommend Yi Shan to anyone who has a genuine and open attitude towards getting their trauma healed. More...

The experience with Yi Shan has given me a new perspective to trauma release and I am glad that it can be done in a gentle and respectful way like Yi Shan did. More...

My experience:
It is extremely different from what you'd expect a therapy session to be. Comes off very spiritual but she uses the term metaphysical. It's basically manifesting and detaching yourself from your trauma to allow yourself to heal without the burden pulling you down.

But it doesn't solve anything. Your issues will still be there, nothing she does will directly help you figure out logically how to move forward...the answers/clarity you get are internal and it'll be loudest during and after this session.

You might feel awkward or weirded out during the session but if you really want to just feel better and in a more controlled yet peaceful state with yourself, your body and soul, then she will help a lot.

After a session with her, i genuinely feel better...a lot more calm and grateful and in control of my reactions and actions. But, again, my issues are still there, they still linger and crave to be resolved. The difference is that I can do things I need to do without feeling too drained and like as if I am being held at a chokehold where I really wouldn't have any energy because I would be thinking about my problems 24/7.

100/100% worth it and it is an entirely new experience in itself. Don't come expecting to talk about your issues. Just know that you will feel lighter, more confident, and just overall better by the end of her session.

She is an extremely sweet person herself. More...

I'm glad to have Yi Shan as my therapist. She exudes warmth, calm and a playful spark which makes me feel at ease to be myself and go with the flow. Experiencing therapy is different from reading about it. I'm thankful to have given myself a possibility to heal through therapy with Yi Shan. Thank you, Yi Shan. More...

Did MEMI ( Multichannel Eye Movement Integration) for my trauma release. Highly recommended to anyone doing trauma work. A chance to hop out of flight or fight zone. better regulated nervous system as I started working with her. Yi shan is very well versed in TRE (Trauma Releasing Exercises) somatic body based practice. She guides and explains patiently. Warm and empathetic. Takes her time and creates a safe space. Therapist bingo! Really helped me in my mental health journey. More...

I have seen Yishan for a few months and I am truly thankful to have met a therapist like her. Not only is she warm, patient and a good listener, I also gain a lot of insight after every session. She is very scientific in her approach and does not engage in mere “chit chatting”. I also did MEMI with her as I was going through relationship trauma and I experienced significant improvement. If you are looking for a therapist, I would highly recommend Yishan. I feel her sincerity and care in every session and always look forward to seeing her. She also had fantastic work ethic and responds promptly. More...

Yi Shan was an incredible help to my mental health. She is very clear on her session goals and outlines the journey she wishes to take with you. Her in-depth knowledge of neuroscience helped me understand why I was feeling or behaving in certain situations. Her gentle approach to tackling issues made it a safe space for me to open up and be honest with myself. It wouldn't hurt to add that her charismatic and humorous nature takes off the pressure of opening up. I came in with the intention of sharing all my problems and hoping to find a solution to everything that was bothering me. However, she carefully extracts powerful experiences and teaches me meaningful skills and lessons that I can apply across different aspects of my life. She gave me the power to overcome my present and future obstacles with great stability and peace. More...

Yi Shan was recommended to me by my usual therapist and I was really looking forward to starting my sessions. I was easily triggered by things in life due to difficult periods in my life and felt that it really hindered me. Yi Shan's work comprises of many exercises we can do from day to day anywhere we are. I have benefitted a lot from regulating my nervous system with her sessions. I noticed how I reacted or rather, responded to stress differently after just a few sessions. I made better cognitive decisions because I was more emotionally regulated. Thank you for supporting and understanding what I was going through and most importantly, the useful exercises that made me respond differently and how it improved my life overall. 🥰 More...

Yi Shan has changed my initial impression of Therapy. Her approach to tailor to my interest in science has helped me better understand what I was going through. This helped me to start the healing process and to also understand that I had a part to play in my own recovery.

Yi Shan also has given me a few exercises that have helped in reducing my stress. Specifically in my case, I felt that she has already went above and beyond with an issue that I was facing and I cannot thank her enough for her help. More...

First time starting a therapy and I am glad I did it with yi shan. She is dedicated to her profession and adopt both humanistic and scientific approach during her sessions. Apart from using neuroscience to help you understand yourself better, she also teaches you ways to help cope and improve your overall mental well being. Appreciate her transparency when it comes to the number of sessions required and she is very considerate of your limitations and concerns. It was a truly pleasant experience to work together with her! More...

Very understanding and respectful counsellor. Makes me feel heard and shared exercises that helped me :)

I saw Yi Shan for my very first experience with therapy, with the only connotation of what therapy is like coming from what I've seen on TV. However, Yi Shan's approach is nothing like. She values transparency, open communication and prioritizes your comfort level and wellbeing, ensuring you are ready before getting you to share any traumatic experiences. Her methodology revolves around helping you understand biological reactions towards stress, giving you a heightened awareness around your emotions, and thus better control of them. Her work does not only leave a positive impact, but a lasting one as well. More...

Yi Shan is a great, no BS counsellor. She used the intro session to make sure I understood what I’m getting and helped me to understand the framework she’ll be using to approach our sessions.

She is warm, friendly, doesn’t judge and more importantly, her demeanour really puts me at ease which helped me in openly sharing.

Subsequent sessions were also very helpful in giving me perspective and actionable steps in what I needed help with.

It’s my first time engaging a counsellor and I’m glad it’s her. More...

Love working with Yi Shan as she gets me. She explores with her clients and would lead me to think, opening new perspectives. Highly recommend!

Yi Shan is an amazing counsellor. She is extremely kind and creates a comforting experience which makes it easy to be vulnerable in each session. I always felt at ease and most importantly, not judged in any way. I really appreciate my time with Yi Shan and benefited in gaining clarity and closure. More...

Yi Shan was referred to me and I had a couple of sessions with her, which I found that some of the techniques that was taught to me is useful. Even prior to signing up with her, I had an introductory call in which I found her to be very thorough in her explanations and is a very considerate individual. Would highly recommend her. More...

Worked with Yi Shan over 2 sessions and she was able to surface areas I need to focus on to get better and checked in on my well-being after that. She was strategic in giving me handles to ensure that I maintain my current state of mental health. Absolutely glad I was recommended to her when I needed help. More...

Yi Shan is naturally gifted, talented and a very empathetic therapist. Her beautiful and calm demeanour provides calmness and strength. Her energy is simply sparkling with pure love and joy. She could immediately identify emotional gaps and weaknesses and deepen her work with techniques that efficiently help to overcome emotional barriers. Breaking through these barriers is tremendously transformational. Not only it brings great relief and closure, it gives hope that's eventually leads to inner peace, strength and happiness. That's my personal invaluable experience which gives me an immense breakthrough. Thank you Yi Shan for selflessly caring for your clients. You’re a beautiful star 🌟🌟🌟. More...

I've enjoyed working with Yi Shan - she has helped me reframe and approach different issues I've brought up by tapping into both physiological and cognitive methods. I am grateful to have been paired with her. More...

Yi Shan was a very warm counsellor who taught me several tools to show myself more self-compassion and to feel safe when I am experiencing anxiety. She went the extra mile to share resources on the tools with me after the session as well. Thank you Yi Shan! More...

Shan is an excellent counsellor, she helped me get back on my feet when I was one of the lowest points in my life.

She is empathetic and uses different frameworks to help you make sense of situations. She takes her time and really puts in effort to work on deep rooted issues. Coming from a couple of counsellors, I have not seen someone put in the dedication to help me get through as much as her.

Definitely a strong recommend. More...

Yishan has been instrumental in guiding me to gain valuable insights and a deeper understanding of myself during our sessions. The comfort I felt while talking to her, akin to a conversation with a supportive friend, made the experience even more enriching. Yishan's willingness to go the extra mile in providing assistance and guidance truly sets her apart. I appreciate her efforts and the positive impact she has made on my journey of self-discovery. More...

Shan has been wonderful to work with - she is very intentional with the sequencing and goals of a session, but also flexible to attune to the needs that arise in sessions. Shan’s primary focus is that you are comfortable and feel like what happens in sessions are helpful. She’s empathetic and also practical, which helps me feel like I know what to do going forwards, and also why I’m reacting in certain ways. More...

I have been seeing Yi Shan for some individual and couple sessions. She has helped us as individuals and as a couple tremendously by diffusing conflicts in our marriage, mapping out our emotions so clearly and helping us to understand why we feel the way we feel, as individuals and as a married couple (with kid). Through understanding these dynamics we were able to isolate and work on our areas of concern. During sessions, it is evident that she is an expert at what she does; I/we feel unjudged and heard, and at peace usually by the end of each session. My sincere and heartfelt thanks to her for giving both me and my partner the courage and tools to accept our differences and work through our conflicts with positivity and hope, especially when we felt so hopeless to begin with. :) More...

Yi Shan is skillful and knowledgeable. Able to connect and help you transform fast. If you are looking for a humanistic and effective therapist, I will recommend her anytime.

I'm so glad to have Yi Shan referred to me as my therapist. I've learnt to understand myself better and worked collaboratively to create a concrete strategy map to help me overcome the issues I faced for a long time. Her neurobiological explanations of my past actions have been especially relevant and helpful. Would highly recommend her! More...

Yi Shan was a great counsellor! After every session i had with her, i felt relieved and always learnt something to reflect on. My sessions with her greatly helped me & definitely made a huge impact on my life. Yi Shan is an outstanding individual & i wish great success to u always! Thank you :) More...

Yi Shan has been an absolute gem in my healing process. Her approach to therapy is the perfect blend of holistic care and structured guidance.

I won’t lie and say that I was comfortable at the start, but Yi Shan exuded a calming energy that makes you feel comfortable opening up. She was really attentive in listening to my experiences on a deep level without any judgement.

What I love most is how Yi Shan connects the dots between theory and my personal life. She’s not all about abstract concepts, but she gives practical advice that I can actually use in my day-to-day.

Yi Shan also adopts a gentle approach to healing. She creates a safe space where you can explore your emotions without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

I can't thank Yi Shan enough for the positive impact she has had on my life, her gentle approach to healing, attentiveness and the practical advice she offers makes her an ideal therapist for those that would like to start their healing journey. More...
