From overwhelm and self-doubt to clarity, self-trust, and emotional ease.

Hello & Welcome

I’m Star, an experienced counsellor offering online therapy to adults in the UK & overseas. Outdoor counselling is also available in Warwick, UK.

I support clients from all walks of life, but my lived experiences have inspired me to focus on helping adults from multicultural and international communities, including Adult Third-Culture Kids, Expats, Repats, and individuals in intercultural relationships.

Having walked a similar path, I understand that while our life experiences can be rich and colourful, they may also bring hidden challenges that create internal conflicts and lead to unhelpful coping mechanisms.

You may be feeling all kinds of ways right now. I remember this journey well. I offer a free 15-minute intro chat, please email me any questions you may have.

I wish you the best and hope I can support you on your journey.

What’s impacting your life?

  • Patterns of overthinking, overgiving, and burnout

  • Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm

  • People-pleasing, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome

  • Difficulty setting 'relevant' boundaries 

  • Resentment or imbalance in relationships

  • Persistent guilt and shame tied to your past or identity

  • Low self-trust & self-esteem leading to self-doubt

  • Inner conflict around identity, belonging, and cultural/familial beliefs 

  • Unspoken grief and invisible losses

  • Struggles with family obligations and cultural expectations

  • Uncertainty about life transition

You’re not alone. These struggles don’t define you, and you don’t have to navigate them alone. Let’s untangle them together.

How can I help?

My clients often describe feeling lighter, clearer, stronger, and more empowered after our work together.

What you can expect from our work together:

  • A space where you don’t have to hold it all together. You won’t be judged for being too emotional, too guarded, too much, too complicated, or not enough.

  • Clarity on why you feel the way you do—and where those patterns came from. A deeper sense of self, rooted in who you are—not just who you were expected to be.

  • Compassionate support as you get to know the different parts of you, and reconnect with the ones you’ve had to hide, silence, or avoid.

  • Practical tools, so you leave our sessions with insights and strategies you can actually use and are relevant to your life—if that’s what you’re looking for.

My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and culturally sensitive. If you’ve learned to minimise your feelings to get by—this space is for you. You don’t have to keep doing it all alone.
