Listening Ear Counselling and Consultancy Pte. Ltd. Reviews

Karl is an amazing counsellor who will has helped me so much in dealing with my anxiety. Beyond just talking, he has many years of experience and has utilised many techniques to help me process many of my issues and I have never felt better in years. Highly recommend for anyone searching for an experienced counsellor who can help you feel much, much better!

I thought therapy was only for people who aren’t in control of their lives and frowned upon it, but I was so wrong. I gave therapy with Karl a try, and he allowed me the space to explore myself while empowering me to face my inner suppressed feelings. I never knew I needed it, until I tried it. I convinced myself that I didn’t need it so much initially that I created such a barrier around myself. Thank you Karl for breaking those down with me. I really appreciate it, and although it was a mere 90 minutes first session, my quality of life and thoughts have been dramatically improved. Definitely wouldn’t be my last. I appreciate it so much, thank you again!

I have been seeing Karl for over a decade, and throughout this time, he has consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism. His non-judgmental, accepting approach has made a world of difference in my life. Unlike some past experiences with other practitioners, I always felt safe and respected in his care. Karl takes confidentiality very seriously, and his sincerity has helped build a deep sense of trust. Over the years, we’ve addressed a range of challenges, and he has been instrumental in helping me face them without ever feeling alone. He has a firm understanding of boundaries, which has taught me the importance having my own personal space and self-care practices. One of the things I value most about Karl is his dedication to his work. He has trained in multiple therapies, enjoys studying and learning, and integrates them seamlessly with an eclectic style that he adapts to meet his client’s needs. I highly recommend Karl to anyone seeking a compassionate, and trustworthy therapist.

Karl has really helped me open up, and get to know myself better. Through his sessions I’ve had epiphanies, learned tools to handle past emotions, reflect, process, discover and overall learn to be a better version of my self. I particularly enjoy Karl’s approach of incorporating laughter, his own personal feelings and honest thoughts within sessions, which really make it a comfortable and safe space. Thank you Karl! For helping me find the courage to be myself.

Mr karl is only one Who can understand you He always like to be with you You can really say ,he is a back bone for his clients I know him since 2012 Really a GEM PERSON He make you free from all yours worries I am ending But there is no end from His side Thank you Mr Karl to stand beside me and show me each path of my life

I am incredibly grateful to have found Karl as my therapist. From the very first session, I felt a sense of safety and comfort that allowed me to be vulnerable and courageous in addressing my emotional traumas. Karl’s patience and support have been invaluable, and he has guided me through the process with great care. He not only listens but also equips me with effective techniques and knowledge to manage and work through each of my emotional challenges, one step at a time. As a result, I’ve discovered a newfound sense of peace and courage within myself. I’ve learned to identify and process my emotions in a healthier manner, and I no longer feel as burdened or repressed as I once did. I highly recommend Karl to anyone seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable therapist.

More interested about the money than helping.

Karl has been persistent, patient and most importantly has a keen ear which listens to the finest expression, tone change in addition to literally listening to what one is saying. He identifies underlying concerns which might have developed over many years sometimes forming years which has led you to the situation. He gives you a different and fresh perspective with a solution oriented mind to view yourself. I am grateful to him for helping me identify my patterns which have formed over decades. He has helped me identify trauma and self belief issues which is important in my healing journey. He understands different culture and hence makes the conversation relatable with full understanding of where one is coming from. Do recommend him to anyone looking at solving oneself and dealing with multiple overlaying feelings, emotions and situations. Karl - forever grateful and more power to you!

At different points in my life, Karl has been my individual therapist, as well as my couple’s therapist. In times of extreme duress, he has helped me find solid ground, and enabled me to gather a pool of resources that has reframed my experience in a way that facilitates agency, rather than overwhelm. These sessions have a gone a long way in managing anxiety, BIG FEELINGS, and generally, creating a truly loving and meaningful relationship with myself. In couples-therapy sessions, Karl has helped facilitate listening, identifying core needs, and holding space for both people. It is difficult work, but Karl’s calm demeanour, humour, and non-judgement makes the journey a lot less daunting. His range of approaches – from somatic therapy and EMDR to narrative practice -- is another facet of his therapeutic skills that I deeply appreciate, one that accounts for the needs of my body and mind. I am grateful for his presence in my life.

I don't really write reviews, but I think this is important. To provide context, therapy has never been something I truly considered. In fact, I shied away from it. In addition to this, it is important for you to know that I never write reviews. Seriously, the number of reviews I have written is likely in the single digits. So, with that, here's a review of Karl. If you are on the fence, go see Karl. You won’t regret it. Even if it’s only for a couple of sessions, you will quickly know if his style is right for you. What is Karl's strength? He has a natural gift, which he has further honed, of being able to connect with anyone by being authentic, vulnerable himself, and an incredible listener. He then has a knack for applying his years of experience to what you are specifically going through, allowing you to discern the right next steps for yourself. In so doing, you build your own personal internal working model that you can grow and develop as you move forward with your life. And I don’t say this lightly. I believe that a truly effective therapist will make themselves obsolete. They are so good that they teach you how to sustainably and consistently be responsible for your emotions and, ultimately, yourself without the need for professional support. And this is exactly what Karl does. I could say things like: he helped me figure out how to think about my emotions as information, enabling me to use them as an internal sustainable compass. Or, that he helped me identify my true, unacknowledged fears that were influencing my actions. Or even, that he helped me start to understand my unconscious thoughts by providing mechanisms to uncover them. Instead, I’ll leave you with a Carl Jung quote: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." Karl can help you take control of your fate.

Karl has been invaluable as a marriage counsellor and individual therapist, helping me get through some truly difficult times. His kind and empathic approach is truly supportive. He's helped me see things in my marriage and my life with new eyes and presents a different, more grounded perspective that I have been otherwise unable to access. His insights, recommendations and techniques to help ground me and center myself especially when things seem most fraught are incredibly useful and I find myself returning to them time and again. He's an expert at establishing a safe space to explore my inner landscape. Highly recommend for marriage counselling / individual therapy.

I’ve been in therapy with Karl since April 2020. For the first time in my life I felt totally accepted by another human - this happened in a very professional setting but with so much compassion and care. ( I’ve been to both in person sessions with him as well as zoom meetings.) Each session is like untangling a new knot/loop of my mind. Karl is authentic and shows his human side which makes him relatable. I’m a yoga teacher and through learning to love and accept myself I’ve been able to hold space and serve my clients and students in much better capacity. I’ve also had the opportunity to integrate philosophies in to my day to day life. Karl has knowledge on spirituality, philosophy and at the same time is updated with the modern day world. This helps in integrating the inner work into my everyday life. Thank you Karl for being not just a therapist but also a guide and inspiration to me ❤️🙏

I really appreciate working with Karl. He had so many insights to help me deal with work frustration, challenges with my kids and re-evaluating how I communicate my feelings to do so effectively. He has resources to share so you can do your own research and homework and has a very helpful way of reframing issues so you can see things in a different light. I am happy to learn to deal with frustration and stress in a healthy way. I am better able to support my family and friends in their challenging times, which is nice and important. You are never too old, too broken or too late to do something to improve yourself and for me, Karl has been very helpful in improving my communication, stress management and processing challenging emotions.

We have had the pleasure of working with Karl for our daughter, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very first session, Karl has made her feel comfortable and heard, creating a safe and supportive environment for her to express herself. Karl is incredibly patient, understanding, and skilled at what he does. He has a remarkable ability to connect with young adults and truly understands their unique challenges and needs. His approach is both compassionate and effective, providing our daughter with the tools and strategies she needs to navigate her emotions and build resilience. We've seen a significant positive change in our daughter's behavior and outlook since she started therapy. Her confidence has grown, and she is better able to manage her anxieties and emotions. This progress is a testament to Karl’s dedication and expertise. We are deeply grateful for the support and guidance he is providing. He has been a crucial part of our daughter's development and well-being, and we highly recommend him to any parent seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist for their loved ones. He has also consulted with us as parents as relationships are always a two way process. Thank you, Karl for all that you do!

I have been with Karl for years now and I can safely say he is absolutely incredible. He combines so many forms of therapy - and is constantly learning and evolving, there is no judgement and righteousness- only empathy and love . He has helped me and so many of my friends immensely. Love you Karl !

Karl is the right person to help with everything that you’re going through in your life, no matter good or bad. Every session always a comfortable and positive one. He never judges and is encouraging. He is very professional and well prepared for each session. Everybody needs a Karl because he heals just the right way that you need :) Highly recommended!!

I have been visiting karl since 4 years now. He has been a blessing in our lives. Things which I never knew about myself was brought out in-front of my eyes by him. I really appreciate his technique and his knowledge on the subject. He is the one other person after my husband who baptise me for all my secrets . I can write more and more about karl but I would like to say if any of you are looking for relationship counselling and personal counselling there is non then karl.

I came to Karl on my lowest point that I really feel lost with my triggers. In only first session he helped me to go through that anguish, he is attentive, very compassionate and never judge, and I feel so much better after only one session. The exercise he gave me was incredibly helpful in handling my trauma that I really feel my hurting heart became open and compassion towards my self and the triggers. Really grateful I choose Listening Ears.

I have been taking a therapy with Karl since 2023 and the more I educate myself on mental health the more I fall in love with Karl’s ways. ❤️ Never heard advice, opinions, judgements, what to do, and what not to do from him and still he has successfully accommodated a platform for me to express authentically and learn more about myself and mental health through genius psychotherapy and such bodyworks as if some ancient healing is happening on you. ❤️‍🩹 If I was at the bottom last year then I can say I am more accepting, respecting and confident about myself now. 🥹 If you looking for a version of you that can sail through most uncomfortable, impossible and unsafe environments easily and if not easily, will have a tool to manage the same then having Karl as a therapist for exploring each and every aspect of life would make your journey more fun, smoother and wiser. 😊 Most of us prefer offline meeting when it comes to therapy but Listening Ear Counselling being in Singapore and I’m based out of India so I I had to do it online and my experience was as comfortable and intimate as offline. 🙌

I was very sceptical about therapy being online. I was very new to the process and didn't know what I could expect. CoVID did move everything online. Karl instantly put my mind to ease from the very first session and took away all my scepticism by the end of the first session. Karl is witty with his humour, resourceful and informed on anything you want to talk about, professional and punctual, most importantly he's empathetic and doesn't believe in any labels. Karl is amazing at setting very healthy boundaries so you know what to expect. My journey to know myself and love myself has been an adventurous one. I have been able to overcome a significant amount of my body image, self-care, childhood, marriage/relationship, business and parenting issues with the help and counseling from Karl. I would always want to work with a professional who never stops learning and always pushing their own limits. Karl is someone who's always upto date on the developments in the mental health eco-system. His dedication to the profession is inspiring. A therapist can't carry you in your journey. They can only walk with you. I'm so glad to have found Karl to walk with me.
