A LIFE OF CURIOSITY & DISCOVERY
Seeing the world. Exploring the self.
Photography, poetry, coaching and counselling — four expressions of one personal journey.
01 / THE VISUAL WORLD
Photography
Self-taught and photographing across the globe for more than three decades, my work is driven by curiosity, spontaneity, and a belief that everything has visual beauty to offer. A purist, I capture and present what I see without any embellishment or editing. I mainly use film and a single lens.
I have successfully exhibited and sold my works, supporting charities with the proceeds and garnering generous press reviews.
02 / THE WRITTEN WORD
Poetry
I have written poetry since my early adolescent years. At one time, I was influenced by the Surrealist school, but I soon adopted the same philosophy that later guided my photography: being true to myself, my feelings, and my thoughts, and presenting them raw and without window-dressing.
I gathered all my writing while I was unemployed and recuperating from injury. The resulting book, ‘You, and Others’, was published in 2021 at the Singapore Writers Festival.
03 / PERSONAL GROWTH
Coaching
During one of the periods of unemployment in my career, I used the time to study and get credentialed as a Coach. I have been practicing on the sidelines ever since as an Executive and Life Coach. I have liberally used my work and life experiences in helping my clients define and resolve their problems.
My practice has picked up since my forced retirement in 2021, and I continue to govern it with my clients at the centre.
04 / UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE
Counselling
A lot happened in 2021! I decided to change my career and direction in life by moving up the intervention scale to the next natural level above Coaching. Getting a Master’s degree proved to be challenging but also very fulfilling at my age! Subsequently, through a lucky break, I got accepted at a counselling firm where I practice.
At Incontact, I practice as a Counsellor and Coach, changing hats as required by my clients. As always, I try to be authentic and keep my clients at the centre.
05 / Thoughts & Reflections
Blogs
Occasional thoughts on counselling, life and the wider world.
These may extend from counselling to geopolitical topics
