Claresille Ladao

I am a Registered Psychometrician and Registered Guidance Counselor with over nine years of experience in the field of psychology. Currently, I serve as a psychometrician at Ateneo de Manila University and as a Resiliency Coach in Mindnation, where I continue to hone my skills in psychological assessment and counseling. Beyond my institutional and clinical role, I actively engage in conferences, workshops, and paper presentations to uplift others and promote psychological awareness. My clinical focus includes working with individuals on relationship issues, self-esteem and identity development concerns, and those experiencing anxiety, depression and life transitions. I take a collaborative approach in counseling, where clients are encouraged to explore strategies that help them cope, while I guide and support them with care and professionalism. I highly value empathy, practicing with an open mind and a deep respect for my clients’ perspectives, free from bias. One of the most meaningful aspects of my work is supporting clients during their most challenging times and witnessing their transformation into stronger, more self-aware individuals. My mission is to create a safe, affirming and empowering space where individuals can grow and embrace their authentic selves – free from judgment and stigma. I am deeply committed to understanding each person's unique experience and making mental health services accessible. As a mental health professional, I am also committed to continuous personal and professional growth, while maintaining my own emotional and mental well-being to better serve those who seek support.
