ABOUT JEANNETTE QHEK
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
T.O, 33 yo, Finance Services
Session Type: Chill Therapy
Jeannette helped to guide me through an extremely turbulent and emotional month of my life. I was feeling confused, torn, and heartbroken, but Jeannette provided me with a non-pressurised and supportive environment for me to share, process, and overcome these emotions.
She gave me space to feel heard and validated, and helped me to reframe my thoughts in a constructive way, which I’d not have been able to do without her.
I’m wholeheartedly grateful for Jeannette’s support and couldn’t recommend her highly enough to anyone that is going through a difficult period of their life.

S, 37 yo, Director
Session Type: Chill Therapy
This is my first time engaging a Counsellor regarding clarity on personal relationships
I engaged Jeannette as
– She was of similar age to my partner
– I wanted a neutral professional perspective
– Similar Academic Backgrounds
– We do no have overlapping networks
As such, I believe she will be able to relate to me better.
Jeannette creates very comfortable and professional sessions which helped me express my thoughts and emotions better. This enabled me to understand myself at a deeper level and hence make wiser choices on my relationship and also communicate better to my partner. The sessions gave me clarity in my thoughts.
The 3 Biggest Takeaways for me personally are
– Focusing on being the Best version of oneself (In A Relationship)
– Separating Business from Relationships
– Communicating better with my Partner at all levels
Jeannette is someone empathetic, genuine and professional.
Will definitely recommend her ⭐️

My heart is grateful, for having found the right person at the most crucial point of my healing journey.

A.G, 29 yo, Legal Counsel
Session Type: Chill Therapy
I am so thankful to have met Jeannette as my first therapist. I’ve read online that it is often hard to find the right therapist from the get-go but I could click with Jeannette since our very first session! She always creates a safe nurturing space for me to share my concerns without any fear of judgment, so it has not been difficult for me to open up to her. She is also a great listener who just “gets it” and I always feel seen and understood during our sessions.
I am not sure what “magic” Jeannette does but I often leave sessions with new perspectives on my problems, which has been so insightful and beneficial. I also appreciate that she makes the time to assign me homework (because work done outside of therapy is just as important as therapy itself)! It’s been 11 sessions of therapy and the impact it has had on me is immense.
I’ve learnt so much from Jeannette, ranging from techniques to cope with my struggles, to developing a deeper understanding of myself. Mostly importantly, she helped me realise over time that I am stronger and more capable than I give myself credit for. Thank you Jeannette!

L.L, 35 yo, Professional Service
Session Type: Chill Therapy
Really appreciate all the support that I have received from Jeannette during a difficult period of my life – she really helped me to organize the chaos in my head with various life-altering events happening at the same time to help me get to a point where I could slowly digest everything that was happening, recognize how I felt about things and figure out how I wanted to react.
She was very patient with me through this process, and her open, non-judgemental and friendly approach allowed me to open up to her and allow the process to happen – I’m still working through the process, but I feel a lot more empowered and focused on what is important now – and I’m so grateful that I went through this process with her.
Thank you very much Jeannette.

R.L, 49 yo, Regional Head Director
Session Type: Chill Therapy
My journey with you through counselling is the most profound and transformative experience I’ve ever had. From the cozy confines of meeting rooms, you helped me explore the universe within me. We began with preparation, like adventurers setting out into the unknown, to make sure I had the mental fitness and safety measures before exploring uncharted emotional landscapes. There was no map, no timetable, because this journey wasn’t about reaching a destination. It was about the experience of discovery, of feeling, of being. You have been my guide, showering me the beauty within and around me. At times, you were like a distant North Star, shining from afar, gently pointing the way. Other times, you rode with me, sailed with me, flew with me, diving and paragliding through the peaks and valleys of my inner world. Always with kindness, empathy and encouragement.
This journey has awakened something within me – a deeper awareness, a more conscious way of living. I’ve learned how to truly connect with my emotions and to be in touch with the feelings of others. More importantly, I’ve learned how to take care of myself mentally, and in doing so, how to better care for the people around me. There’s still so much more to explore, but I am embracing this newfound understanding with gratitude, curiosity and love.
Very simply, I want to thank you.

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.

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! 😀

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 🙂
