ABOUT JEANNETTE QHEK

Jeannette

Hi! I’m Jeannette, the Founder of Chill By Nette. I am a psychotherapist/ counsellor, speaker, wellness content creator, an INFP, Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), a sister, a daughter, a well of curiosity and creativity, and an adventurous seeker. I also believe that humans are more than these labels that we attach to ourselves.

Having navigated my own mental health struggles, including episodes of grief, loss, and an identity crisis in my teenage years into adulthood, I hold the belief that each individual’s cultural context is distinctive.

My mission is to understand each individual within their unique context, journeying with them to achieve their goals in an inclusive environment for growth and healing.

To me, life is a journey of constant recovery and re-discovery. I believe in the importance of finding balance between taking care of our personal well-being and striving towards our full potential in life- which often comes hand in hand. Whenever in doubt, one’s well-being always comes first.

Well-being is about being able to live in the present moment by feeling connected to the self and showing up authentically to others. It is the foundation to becoming our best selves and cultivating healthy relationships in different aspects of our lives.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

E.L, 31 yo, Undisclosed

Session Type: Chill Therapy

When I was searching for a therapist and came across Jeannette’s profile, something just clicked.. I intuitively knew I wanted to work with her.

From the moment I stepped into that first session, I had a good feeling that something positive would come out of it. Over the course of five months, even though it was just eight sessions and about ten hours in total, the journey we shared was truly meaningful.

Jeannette created a safe space for me to express myself, and in that space, she helped me reconnect with my authentic self. Her support, encouragement, and guidance through tough emotions and challenges made all the difference.

Thank you for being my cheerleader and helping me navigate this process. I’m grateful for the journey we’ve had so far, and I know it’s not the end.

Session Type: Chill Therapy

Counselling has greatly improved my ability to cope with anxiety. Jeannette is patient and understanding in helping me with my issues and she is very knowledgeable as well. She is able to listen to my problems without judgement and provide me with useful advice to cope with them. Overall a pleasant experience.

Alyssa Lenny, Year 3 Polytechnic Student

Session Type: Chill Workshop

I attended a Strengths Workshop that Jeannette had conducted at Republic Polytechnic where she instilled a changed perspective in the way we see and what we know about strengths. The workshop made me realise the importance of not only working on our weaknesses but also the strengths that we had already acquired in our daily lives.

What I really loved was how engaging she was throughout the entire workshop by constantly encouraging and giving each of us the chance to share our own experiences and views. She also explained everything well. Despite the workshop being after school, I felt energised the entire time just by participating and listening to her 🙂

Furthermore, she had set a 14-day challenge for us to do if we wanted to and she did and continued with the challenge together. Sometimes, she even replied to what we had written to encourage and motivate us further. That challenge gave me the habit of reflecting on my day and feeling accomplished when I noticed how I use my strengths to help myself grow and also help the people around me everyday.

Also, since I knew Jeannette before the workshop itself through her TikTok Chillbynette and being a part of her Chill Community, Jeannette has helped me out a lot and I feel that both in person and online, she gave the same awesome vibe! 😀

My experience with Jeannette was really wonderful, she takes time to listen about my issues and experiences in sessions, apologise if she did any wrong, and change methodology if needed. Really knowledgeable and friendly.

Session Type: Chill Therapy

Ms Jeannette had went above and beyond while I was in therapy sessions with her. I was initially apprehensive about starting therapy but she had created an environment which made me feel extremely safe and comfortable in sharing with her my thoughts and experiences outside of therapy. She was very welcoming and I felt no judgement from her whatsoever. I had managed to pick up plenty of skills that I can utilize outside of therapy from her. I will be continuing my therapy sessions with Ms Jeannette and I highly recommend her to anyone who would like to start therapy 🙂

Session Type: Chill Community

I’ve been following Jeannette’s Chill By Nette for a while now, and I’m consistently impressed by her approach. She adeptly discusses #selfawareness, #grounding, and #emotionalregulation through bite-sized videos that are accessible to anyone. Her content exudes a laid-back, modest, and homey feel, instantly putting audiences at ease.

One particular video that stands out to me is “What do you do when things start to get overwhelming.” As a creative educator, I frequently encounter young professionals in the creative field who struggle with feelings of overwhelm and the risk of burnout. What they don’t need is a know-it-all offering motivational speeches.

When a Chill by Nette video appears in my feed, it’s always a welcome reprieve. Jeannette’s content provides a refreshing break from the usual noise.

Session Type: Chill Community

Thanks CBN and the close community for this challenge. Although I had joined late something that I learnt from previous challenges, AMAs, chill circles is to prioritize my own wellbeing over other things. Over the past few months I have decluttered my digital processes, limited my information intake from social media (hence my absence from the AMAs) held my space and basically put myself first which was something that was really difficult for me to do the last time. I am grateful for the community for reading my sharings, cheering me on with your emoticons.

CBN, this is a really nice and cozy community that you’ve created and I am grateful for all of your sharings as well, or just by being here, you have shown your support. So thank you.

Thanks @Chillbynette for organizing the challenge. I personally enjoyed it throughly – primarily for reflecting on my own and what I wanted for the day and secondly for reading other people’s challenge. Finally, I have picked up a healthy habit. 

I am so grateful to everyone in this group chat for motivating me to be part of this challenge. 

I have enjoyed it so much that I am going to keep on and noting down my desires for each day in my journal. I feel it’s a healthy habit to pick up. 

May all of you have a great month of January. 🙏

Jeannette is very patient with me, understanding my emotions, and what I’m going through and feeling. She feels and connects with me deeply, asking insightful questions that help me uncover why I feel uneasy in certain situations. With her guidance, I have been able to face and figure out my issues, traumas, and wounds, and learning to feel, and cope with them. She’s great. I’m really thankful for the help she given me and helped me grow and gain a deeper understanding of myself.

I love having Jeannette as my therapist. She’s the best. I’m always looking forward to our sessions a lot. She makes me feel happy and valid.. always hyping me up when I tell her something. The way she talks always calms me down a lot. She gives off so much friendly vibes that always makes me comfortable to talk to. Even during our sessions, she makes sure I’m comfy. Always willing to go to the extra mile for me.. I’m really thankful for her. I’m so happy she’s my therapist.

Honestly I was always sceptical about counselling based on prior experience. Counselling Pers and Jeannette have been pretty good at proving me wrong and frankly I have seen a difference in myself. There isn’t any fairness in quantifying how much but a difference is a difference nonetheless which I am beyond grateful for. Jeannette has been a constant for the past few sessions and she is genuine about the kind of service provided. She goes the extra mile and understands how best to provide to my needs. Thanks as always Jeannette!
