Prisilla spent more than a decade in the corporate world hosting major events in the Middle East, China and South Korea. She witnessed first-hand the effects of uncared mental health on otherwise physically healthy people. The realization spurred her interest to navigate to the mental health industry. She is proficient in counselling with English and Mandarin-speaking clients. She works with children and adults on emotional, behavioural, relational, and parenting issues. Her therapy works pivot on trauma (specifically attachment trauma and trauma-related issues), mood swings and self-esteem issues.
