Trainee Counsellor
Master of Arts in Counselling
(Candidate, TCA College)
Sebastian is dedicated to supporting youth and young adults, creating a safe and empathetic space where they feel heard and understood. With over 14 years of combined experience in leadership, youth development, family life support and para counselling, Sebastian has helped youth and young adults navigate their challenges.
Sebastian lived and worked in Nepal for 14 years, where he experienced earthquakes and the challenges of working cross-culturally. Before moving to Nepal, Sebastian served in the military, where he learnt to navigate the challenges of working in highly confidential and high-stress environments. His experience in the military trained him to connect empathetically with others, and these skills continued to be honed when he and his family lived and served in Nepal.
Sebastian is married and has three young adult children. His experience raising his children cross-culturally and helping them adjust successfully when the family returns to Singapore in 2020 has enabled Sebastian to support and counsel third-cultured youth and their parents. Sebastian’s experience in helping individuals and families in transition and his current role in working with seniors and families motivated him to further his studies in counselling so he can continue to provide customised support to individuals and families in various stages of life. Sebastian is committed to providing a secure base as he helps his clients navigate their journeys with confidence and clarity.
