About Resurgo
Resurgo means to “Rise Up Again" in Latin.
Resurgo was founded by our founder, Anand Vijakumar, in 2022.
After experiencing various therapy providers in his journey to heal from trauma, depression and anxiety, Anand found that there is a wide spectrum of therapy services and learned that the high cost of such services robbed many of the chance to rise up again from their challenges.
After the long and arduous recovery journey, Anand was inspired to start Resurgo to bring therapy and coaching services to those who need it at an affordable rate.
Resurgo aims to reach out to anyone from all walks of life and countries through its online counselling and coaching services.
Many who face crippling mental health, relationship or youth related issues have tried various services in the hope of getting better.
However, most services tend to be not time bound and drag on for years without a clear prognosis.
In Resurgo, therapy and coaching services are time bound which allows you to set achievable goals and attain it within 5-6 months.
This allows you to carry on living the best version of your life after the end of our intervention.
About Our Founder
Anand Vijakumar started his career as a social worker. He specialised in working with individuals and families who were experiencing family violence. As his career progressed, he focused on building his knowledge and skills set in working with clients who have experienced trauma. Apart from family violence cases, Anand specialised in working with clients who are homeless and experienced the trauma of losing their homes due to relationship breakdown, poverty and mental health struggles. Anand also worked with clients and youth with incarceration backgrounds. In his work with this population, Anand advocated for equal rights and second chances with prospective employers and assisted them to attain stable housing. Anand also worked on research studies to increase awareness on the impact of trauma on adults and youth who are incarcerated.
Anand has extensive training and practice experience in areas such as trauma, mental health, coaching and mentoring. He also has a post-graduate certification in clinical and casework supervision. He is a certified trainer and has conducted various workshops. He is also one of the few trauma systems therapy practioners in Singapore. With his expertise as a trauma trained practioner, Anand also utilises strengths-based systemic interventions in his practice. His interventions are crafted by comprehensive assessments and are evidence-based to maximise results.
Anand’s approach to therapy is heavily influenced by his encounters with various therapists and psychologists in his road to recovery. Anand experienced challenges in finding a suitable therapist that was able to help him and faced multiple challenges due to high costs and seemingly never-ending nature of conventional therapy. However, this journey taught him many valuable lessons and inspired him to help those who are experiencing similar challenges in their lives. As a survivor of depression and trauma, Anand believes that there is always light at the end of the tunnel and everyone has the strength to rise up again. His mission is to be a beacon of hope and journey with his clients.
