In our journey to be emphatic counsellors, we need a guide who can steer us in the right direction, with compassion and professionalism. Reena Goenka, as a supervisor, is that person!

A person who is patient, knowledgeable, skilled in a variety of therapeutic approaches, Reena provided insights that helped me tremendously in my learning journey. Her ability to look at a case, weighing in the many facets beyond what was said, demonstrated her remarkable expertise in the field – she always set to explore deeper meanings and emotions.

Reena’s teachings and guidance taught me a lot about being an empathic and ethical counsellor. This made a real difference to the way I approach client work, especially when dealing with complex cases.

Letter of Appreciation

As an intern working towards professionalism in the field of counselling and psychotherapy, I am required not only to do the 100 practicum hours but to also seek for clinical supervision from an accredited clinical supervisor.

I feel very fortunate to have been assigned by ECTA to Ms. Reena Goenka as my clinical supervisor. Not only I am a Transactional Analysis (TA) enthusiast, I am also working in majoring in this psychotherapeutic framework in my counselling journey. Having been assigned to learn and to be supervised by Reena have been very helpful not only for my growth as a counselling intern, but also been benefitting to my growth as a TA Practitioner to be.

Some of the notable professional values I would like to commend. Reena has always been very patience, kind, and generous to me whenever I was asking a lot of learning questions. Perhaps I might have even been a little annoying as a young student but she was able to handle it well and guided me with empathy, gentleness, and wisdom. She is very knowledgable and competent especially in the arena of TA, EMDR, Hypnotherapy, and overall as a professional counsellor/psychotherapist and a clinical supervisor, in nurturing and helping me to reflect my counselling works.

Reena is also currently a president of the Transactional Analysis Association Singapore (TAAS). She has also conducted and facilitated several webinars that have helped me in my TA journey. Such as: “Contracting for Change” on 20th June 2020 “Working with Somatic Process in Therapy and Counselling Settings” on 2nd July 2020 “Understanding Depression with TA Lenses” on 16th August 2020.

Personally, I have heard many positive feedbacks about Reena from other professional peers. We all agreed that anyone wishes to be trained as a competent professional counsellor,

especially as a TA Practitioner, Reena is a highly recommended clinical supervisor!

Thank you Reena! You’re a great blessing and I am fortunate to be basked in your wisdom.

Reena is one of the best supervisors I had. She is very knowledgeable, passionate and compassionate individual who cares about imparting her skills on junior counsellors. She is well- versed in EMDR therapy and has taught me some valuable techniques to use with clients. Highly recommended if you are looking for a clinical supervisor.

I have had the privilege to experience Reena as both my Group Supervisor during my Masters at ECTA and one-on-one for individual supervision.

As a Group Supervisor, Reena allows the group to set our supervision goals. She is conscious when allowing sufficient time for cases to be presented. With her rich experience, she gently teases out info of each case, urges each presenter to provide his view, intervention and treatment plans.

As a Counsellor, I have benefited richly from Reena’s experience, generous sharing and guidance. I am truly grateful to be mentored and supervised by her.

Thank you for your excellent supervision. I am amazed at your generosity, patience, kindness, diligence, inspiration, commitment and support that you have provided during my internship counselling journey. You make me realize that I have more ability than I think I have, challenged me, pushed me, believed in me, help me grow consistently and constructively to do better and led by example. Thank you again!

I recently completed a 3-month counselling session and as a first-timer in counselling, it's tough to gauge the effectiveness, but overall I had a positive experience.

The sessions were a safe and supportive space where I was able to work through some personal challenges and gain a better understanding of myself. The counsellor was kind, attentive, and really listened to what I had to say.

I felt heard and validated, and I appreciated their expertise and guidance. While it was sometimes difficult to confront certain issues, I ultimately felt a sense of growth and progress by the end of the experience. I would recommend this counselling session to anyone looking for support and self-discovery.

Thank you, Reena! It was a great experience receiving supervision from Reena as a trainee counsellor at Insightful Counselling. I thoroughly enjoyed the supervision hours. Every session, as the site's name suggests, was genuinely insightful. I took away so much from this learning journey, such as the working knowledge, opportunities to reflect on my biases, different counselling approaches, aligning my perspective with my abilities and the proper application/importance of micro-skills. I look forward to continuing this relationship in the next step of my education.

I am very thankful to have Reena as a supervisor. Her generous, open, warm nature made it so comfortable for me to open up and share my worries, thoughts and doubts. Her calmness and reassurance assured me that I was in good and capable hands. I look forward to our continued meetings and values the wisdom that I know she will impart.

Thank you for being a remarkable mentor and contributing so positively to my journey. Thank you so much 🙂
