April Adao

April Adao

Counsellor and Psychotherapist

Our Experiences are our Pearls.

April has rich experience in conducting psychoeducation and first aid to an audience of both adults and/or teens, estimated at more than 3000 and counting which led her to work as a psychosocial program developer and become part of a known international top leading non-profit organisation in providing free comprehensive cleft care, known as, Smile Train, of which in 2022 paved the way for her to become a member of their Global Psychosocial Task Force. Her experience with Smile Train taught her that life is precious in whatever stage one may see themselves in. April is trained in trauma informed practices, understanding trauma in early childhood development, psychological first aid, and mental health for higher education and healthcare. She leans toward Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in guiding and helping clients become fueled for their healing and recovery. 

April beams working with anyone who wants to create opportunities for changes in their lives. April believes that learning, unlearning, and relearning our experiences (pain and suffering to name a few) are essential keys to healthy well-being. She believes that like pearls, we can create our own experiences and add them to our luster, or the term used to how a pearl reflects light back. April’s family motto is “Create every tiny victory” because they believe that anyone is capable of creating small successes in their lives.
