Reframing perspectives for a meaningful and purposeful life, and overcoming its challenges.
Blending evidence based approaches like CBT, ACT, Exposure Therapy and the Gottman Method, I select and adapt tools to fit each clients unique needs. Always holding my clients in “unconditional positive regard”, I help reframe challenges and uncover solutions often hidden in their subconscious. I give candid, but empathic and non-judgmental feedback to build trust in our partnership. I like to use humour when appropriate to foster a comfortable and safe environment.
Having lived and worked in seven countries, including Singapore, UK and India, my life’s journey has enabled me to be equally comfortable with all nationalities, races, ethnicities, religions, genders and sexualities. As a therapist, it gives me a particular advantage when working with expats and mixed couples.
As a trained psychotherapist and executive coach, I seamlessly navigate between coaching’s forward focused approach and counselling’s exploration of deeper challenges. This unique integration allows me to provide clients with holistic support, tailored to their evolving individual needs - from achieving immediate goals to uncovering and resolving underlying root causes.
Using 3 decades of insight into corporate dynamics and managerial challenges, I have coached leaders and managers for 11 years to be effective in three dimensional relationships and improve efficiency. I excel in clarifying confusion and conflict in career choices and transitions. All reinforced by an understanding of differences in workplace cultures (India, UK, Singapore).
I dedicate time for pro bono coaching and counselling with charitable organizations, developing leaders at the grassroot level.
I have lived in seven countries and travelled to over ninety. An exhibited photographer and published author, I also enjoy diving, motorcycling, reading and cooking. Singapore is home, but the world inspires me.

Dev is an inspiring leadership coach who has made a critical impact on my change management journey.

His unique ability to balance empathy and constructive feedback created a safe and supportive environment for me to explore my challenges and aspirations. With his coaching, I have managed to improve the quality of my engagements, strategic thinking, and team collaboration. I highly recommend Dev to anyone seeking an inspiring leadership coaching experience. His dedication, wisdom, and passion for empowering leaders have made a significant difference in my life.





I had the fortune to be able to be coached by Devendra over a period of 6-8 weeks. During our sessions, we discussed particular areas and situations that were blocking my career path. Through a series of 1-1 sessions and exercises, Devendra was able to identify solutions and steps for me to take to avoid internal career politics whilst also helping me analyse my key strengths and objectives. It was extremely useful to leverage Devendra’s experience and insight, especially in the world of banking and finance. He helped me to take a step back from the immediate office environment, evaluate my career goals in a clear and concise way and build a set of achievable objectives.





Devendra possesses significant perseverance and persuasion skills, listens intently but in a relaxed manner, and has over the years develop a critical questioning ability which enables the coachee to get to the problems. I found it easy to recommend three of my friends to him for coaching guidance.





My coach has gained my trust and given me motivation to uplift my morale towards work.





Absolutely fantastic. Deep insights and very approachable. Highly recommended.





Crossing paths with Devendra has been one of the best things that happened to me and through his advice-filled sessions, he put me in the right mindset to navigate a challenging phase, shortly after graduating university and beginning full-time employment while juggling a pandemic. After every session, my levels of motivation, energy and determination were at their peak. Not only are the tools he provided central to how I now approach my time but also helped me gain the right perspective to live life to its fullest. Devendra listens carefully, pays considerate attention to what is said in-between the lines and personalises his teachings to suite the student. Once again, thank you Devendra for offering your time, it is an honour to know you.
