From a young age, Nur Adilah has been able to see how mental health issues affect individuals’ abilities and spirits to perform their best. Not only does it impact the individuals themselves, but also those around them. She believes that every individual has their own potential to achieve their goals or aspirations, but due to mental health issues, the direction towards achieving those aspirations may become obstructed or lost within them. She aims to provide guidance to help anyone in need reach where they want to be and unleash their potential.
She works with individuals of various ages, dealing with various types of mental health issues, and assists women who have experienced domestic violence and sexual abuse. She has experience working in hospitals and corporate settings in Singapore. She utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and is a level 1 Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) practitioner. She strives to integrate therapy techniques that are suitable for each individual.
A particularly meaningful experience for her (despite being in the early stages) is when clients share positive changes even though the improvements may seem ordinary, such as “I got ajob interview”, “I took five minutes to do my school assignment”, or “I feel better than last week”. It shows that they are trying to do their best for themselves. She hopes to do her best to help you towards where you want and need to be, and to become the person we never knew we needed. She is also interested and hopes to learn and become an expert in Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE), especially to help adults who have experienced sexual abuse in childhood. “Fa inna ma’al ‘usri yusra; So verily, with every difficulty, there is relief. [Surah Ash-Sharh 94:5]”
