Hi, I am Yvonne.
I'm glad you're here. I work with people through times of change, and this is a bit of my story.
In my early twenties, I left home in Singapore and moved alone to Europe. What followed was a long process of rebuilding across countries, cultures, and stages of life. Over time, I came to understand that identity is not something fixed or inherited once and for all. It is something we shape, thoughtfully, more than once in a lifetime.
I first completed a Bachelor in Computer Science, but soon realised it was not the career I wanted to build. I then pursued an MBA as I was drawn to the business side of things, entrepreneurship, and the question of how ideas become real. It was a path that led me into nearly two decades in the corporate world, and later into my own candle business.
For much of that time, I was working across borders and cultures in demanding global environments where clarity, adaptability, and emotional self-management were part of the job. For a long time, I valued the challenge, the pace, and the diversity of the work. But eventually, I realised how draining and unsatisfying corporate life had become, and I made a conscious decision to pursue work that felt more meaningful.
I then trained as a Master Coach in NLP techniques and as a Mental Health Coach, and later completed my Master’s in Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London. These studies gave form to what I had already observed: that the way we think, feel, and decide under pressure can be understood, refined, and changed.
My Approach
In our one-to-one work, we look at what is draining you, what is keeping you stuck, and where you have lost contact with your own direction. I help you examine your situation clearly, so you can respond with more intention and less self-criticism.
Together, we work with the real material of your life: your choices, your boundaries, your patterns, your next steps. The work is reflective, but it is also practical and grounded.
It is a confidential space in which you do not need to perform, explain yourself away, or make your experience smaller than it is.
My intention is that, over time, you feel more steady inside your own life again. That your thinking becomes clearer. That your direction feels more like your own. That you are no longer just managing the noise around you, but moving through it with greater clarity, self-trust, and agency.
Why Work With Me
Because I can look at your situation from more than one angle at once.
My background spans technology, business, psychology, neuroscience, and mental health coaching. That means I do not only think in terms of feelings, nor performance or productivity. I also look at structure, patterns, behaviour, pressure, and meaning together.
That matters because the people I work with are usually dealing with more than one problem. They are capable, but misaligned. Clear in some areas, exhausted or confused in others. I help them see the pattern underneath that, so they can stop treating every symptom as separate.
I also bring years of real-world experience across corporate and startup life, entrepreneurship, and major personal transitions. I have moved across continents, started over, lived across cultures, and known what it means to rebuild when a familiar life stops fitting. That combination helps me hold the emotional truth, the structural reality, and the practical next step at the same time.
If this feels uncomfortably close to the truth, that is usually a sign that this is the right conversation to have. A first conversation gives us space to look at what is not working, what needs to change, and whether working together would be useful. It is free and without obligation.
Why I Do This Work
I do this because I believe people deserve a space where they do not have to minimise what they know or explain themselves perfectly in order to be understood.
So often, the hardest part is not that something is wrong. It is that something no longer fits, and you have been trying to make it fit for too long. I want to help people meet that moment with clarity, care, and enough steadiness to move forward.
That, to me, is meaningful work.
