“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” — Carl R. Rogers This belief in acceptance and relational safety is the heartbeat of my practice. I am Esther Sylvia, a Counselling Psychologist (M.Sc.) and member of the South Asian Association of Transactional Analysts (SAATA). My professional journey has been shaped by diverse experiences, from supporting survivors of domestic violence and burn injuries at PCVC to working with children with learning difficulties. These roles taught me the profound resilience of the human spirit and the necessity of a safe, non-judgmental container for healing. When I’m not in the therapy room, you can find me tending to my plants, spending time with dogs, or getting lost in a good book.
