Biodata
Capriole is a trauma-informed therapist. After more than 10 years in clinical practice, she continues to be inspired by the indomitable and resilient human spirit. She believes that relational damage is the core of trauma and therefore, relationship is the core of healing trauma. Essentially, the quality of the therapeutic
alliance is crucial in facilitating clients reconnect with themselves and restore inner equilibrium, which in
turn, help generate choices and decisions better aligned with their emotional compass.
Capriole views therapy as a mutual collaboration – where clients embark on a personal journey of healing, discovery, and empowerment, with her as a co-traveller. A proponent of trauma-informed psychotherapeutic
approaches, she believes these provide a comprehensive and integrative framework with which to
understand the complexities of trauma and human nature. Accordingly, she is particularly passionate about
working with clients with Trauma-related Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorders, and
Personality Disorders.
Capriole’s past clinical experience encompassed postings in Kuala Lumpur General Hospital, as well as, spearheading the Clinical Psychology Unit in Klang General Hospital. The acquired exposure has enabled
her to relate well to a diverse spectrum of clients. Academically, she has previously lectured at UCSI
University. Currently, she supervises peer psychologists in addition to her private practice. She speaks fluent
English and Malay, and is conversant in Cantonese and Mandarin.
