About Paul Tiu, RGC
My name is Paul Oliver TIu. Being the youngest among 4 siblings, I was left to be alone at home since I'm too young to join any extra activities aside from regular schooling. Growing up not knowing how to socialize with others or even understand social norms, I was embarrassed and shamed whenever there were social or family gatherings I blundered in. These incidents inspired me to seek help in educating myself and further understanding human dynamics. This also became my motivation in helping others. I am married with one daughter. With my experiences in counseling and in life, I can relate with individuals at their different stages in life.
My Approach to Therapy
I am a good listener and empathize with others. However, I can also be direct in pointing out issues that need to be dealt with. I can pace myself to how fast or slow improvements a person can handle. This is because I believe with a certain level of self awareness paired with appropriate tools, a person can face challenges in life and gain necessary skills to overcome them. I will journey with individuals through their highs and lows, celebrating successes how small they be.
