CLEARER MINDS
Dr. Serene Teh
What some clients say about their experiences of working with me
"I’ve been seeing Serene since last year. She has given me insights, tools & techniques that make sense to me & my life. I’m still learning to apply them, small steps at a time, but I feel that with continued effort & trust in myself & Serene, I will continue to move forward to a better personal place."

"I have been working with Dr Teh for the over 3 years and my quality of life has drastically improved since my first session. I’ve seen improvements in every aspect of my life from my career, relationships, family dynamics and daily routines. I trust her judgement and expertise completely as her advice and strategies have always turned out right. Working with Dr Teh has been the best decision I have ever made and I can't recommend her enough."

"I was recommended Serene Teh by a coworker years ago and was pleased to find that Serene's guidance was more grounded and more honest than other therapists yet still considerate of my feelings. Knowing when to challenge me and when to support me is a delicate balancing act and she hasn't gotten it wrong yet. I've always appreciated Serene's more direct approach and will continue to use her services. I've experienced other counsellors before that I have felt disappointed with as they seem only there to console you and don't help you discover the potential cause(s) of your problem(s). Those counsellors are usually well intentioned, but I sometimes walked out wondering if I had just paid for the equivalent of an expensive pat on the back. I always wanted to feel I was getting results from what I was paying for. I don't expect to be a completely changed person after a session or two, but I do want to develop through life and feel I am learning about myself or others.
I want to get something out of a therapy session. Even if it only hits me much later in passing and I realise - "hey- that relates to what we talked about before...". The rewards from a therapy session aren't always evident immediately, but facing issues with Serene has proven to be an effective and empowering experience for me.
After feeling trapped within layers of what all my friends said was an insurmountable problem, I didn't know how to handle the pressure anymore. I needed somebody to help me navigate through a confronting and conflicting work situation without just walking away. Serene's counselling and guidance helped me understand other individual's potential perspectives that had been murky and all the factors contributing to my problems.
I have seen Serene for sessions when I have needed to for over a few years now. In my more heavy and emotional times, she has reeled me in to accept what I can and can not control or change. Her grounded viewpoint and approach supports me, brings to light the real options and helps me find a way forward when I am struggling."
