Tricia Lim

Throughout her career as a Marriage Therapist & Counsellor, Tricia has the privilege of journeying with countless couples to overcome their challenges or navigate difficult life transitions including adjustments, parenting and infidelity. Seeing her clients gain breakthroughs in their relationships and find renewed hope for their futures together keeps her motivated and going.

Tricia has also worked with many individual clients - both adults and youths - struggling with a variety of issues involving romantic, social or familial relationships, confidence and emotion handling which typically stem from low self-esteem and self-image.

For individuals, she works with them to gain insights into their feelings, thoughts, beliefs and behaviours, so that they can gradually develop a healthier sense of self and relationship with others.
