Welcome

I'm so glad
you're here.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Director at The School of Positive Psychology in Singapore. Over fifteen years I have worked across psychiatric hospitals, outpatient programs, university clinics, and private practice in Melbourne, Singapore, and internationally. I now see clients online - which means wherever you are, we can work together.

My training spans the full range of evidence-based approaches: CBT, EMDR, Schema Therapy, ACT, DBT, and trauma-informed and somatic methods. I have supervised and taught clinicians at Masters and Doctorate level. I bring that depth - all of it - into the room with each person I work with.

Registered Clinical Psychologist endorsed by the Psychology Board of Australia. Board-Approved Supervisor. Member of the Singapore Psychological Society. What I offer is serious clinical expertise, and a genuine commitment to doing the work well.

My Approach

The heart of the work

I absolutely love the work I do - and deeply respect the courage it takes to begin therapy. Every client brings something unique, and I meet that with presence, care, and curiosity.

I create a safe and attuned space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Together, we'll gently uncover root causes and work with evidence-based approaches that support meaningful, sustainable change.

Many of my clients have told me that therapy feels like just the right mix of safety and challenge - where they feel understood and encouraged, but also gently guided toward meaningful change.

"Healing happens in a space where you feel safe enough to be seen, and supported enough to grow."
01

Respond more thoughtfully to life's challenges - rather than reacting in ways that leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed

02

Understand the deeper layers beneath your emotional responses, recurring thoughts, and internal triggers

03

Develop more compassionate and effective ways to relate to difficult emotions, fostering resilience and balance

04

Shift longstanding patterns that no longer serve you

05

Be more fully present - with yourself, in your relationships, and in your everyday life

06

Clarify your direction, needs, and align your life with what truly matters to you

"

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

- Carl Rogers

How we work together

All offerings are rooted in the same orientation: creating the conditions in which you can feel, be seen, and reconnect with your own authority and aliveness.

Flagship Offering

The Group
Programme

A three-month closed group programme for women in the second half of life, co-facilitated with Dr. Yvonne Sum, a published author on leadership and strategy and co-founder of a global C-suite consultancy. This is not a workshop or a course. It is a contained, relational space for real psychological work.

My work focuses on women who have spent years functioning well but living partially - and who are ready to understand what's underneath that. I help you build a life that fits who you actually are - not the version shaped by conditioning, early survival, or other people's expectations.

This programme blends clinical depth with genuine psychological work on identity, embodiment, and self-authorship. Women leave with more than insight - they leave with a different relationship to themselves.

Psychological depth - body, identity, desire, voice, values
For women who have spent years functioning well, but living partially
Closed group - same women, held space, over three months
Trauma-informed, nervous-system-aware, relationally attuned
