Welcome to ReNyou Counseling
Rooted in the grounds of empathy, compassion and authenticity, ReNyou Counselling incepted in June 2024 is a space where every individual is guided to “Relive - Recover - Regain - Renew” their empowered selves.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, we're here to provide the support and guidance you need to achieve your goals.
Our Vision & Mission
Our Vision
"Relive - Recover - Regain - Renew"
At ReNyou Counselling, we believe in the idea that healing is a process by:
- Reliving the stories that shaped you—with safety, not shame.
- Recovering from pain, patterns, and past wounds.
- Regaining your strength, clarity, and sense of self.
- Renewing your life with purpose, peace, and empowerment.
Your healing begins here—with room to feel, and guidance to grow.
Our Mission
At ReNyou Counselling, we see a future where mental health care is not a right reserved for the privileged, but for all as a basic entitlement.
We aspire to make counselling universal, within reach, and free from stigma for all, irrespective of background or situation. We believe in dismantling financial and social barriers that impede people from accessing help.
With empathetic, person-centered care and creative therapeutic techniques, we support people to heal, recover, and reclaim their inner strength. Our mission is for a society where mental wellness is the norm, care is at hand, and everyone has the chance to live a meaningful, purposeful life.
