You Deserve to be Loved and to Live a Meaningful Life
Dr Aevent Koh Kian Seng
“Love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire,” wrote Viktor Frankl. Indeed, most of us seek to do what we love, to be with those we love, and to love who we are. While finding love can be difficult, it is never impossible. But are you moving in the right direction?
Even in our darkest moments, we can find meaning by recognizing that our freedom of will can never be taken from us. It is through this will to find meaning within ourselves that we ultimately create the meaning of our lives.
Personality
- Friendly, Humorous, Introspective & Encouraging

- Believes that a meaningful life is a journey to experience, not an achievement.
My Style & Professional Counselling Approach
Existential Psychotherapy & Logotherapy
My approach is grounded in Existential Psychotherapy and Logotherapy. I work from a simple truth: there’s no single “right” way to live. But we struggle when we feel stuck being someone we’re not, or when we can’t reach for what truly matters to us. That’s when we lose touch with ourselves and the meaning in our lives.
Therapy, in my view, isn’t about fixing you or asking you to give up what’s important. It’s about understanding why you feel trapped, anxious, or lost—and finding a way forward that honors who you really are. We can’t change the past, the actions of others, or every circumstance we face. But we can change how these experiences live within us and influence our story of life.
In our sessions, we will first journey together into your subjective world. We’ll explore what you yearn for, who you truly are, and the psychological and emotional struggles you face. My first priority is for you to feel profoundly seen and heard. From that foundation, we will then work to reconnect you with your authentic self and discover actionable steps to build a meaningful life—without sacrificing your core values.
We only get one life, and my goal is to help you write a meaningful story with yours. You don’t have to be defined by the wreckage of your past. Regardless of the storm you’ve weathered, you can take charge and become the author of your own legacy.
Are you writing a life story you are proud of?
