I’m Here to Help.

As an experienced clinical psychologist, I bring over 12 years of experience to help you enhance your psychological well-being and overall quality of life. I worked with a diverse range of clients in a number of settings, including private practices, public and private psychiatric hospitals, outpatient programs, and universities. I have been providing individual and group-based therapy using a range of evidence-based interventions.

I established a succesful private practice nestled in the heart of Fitzroy North, Melbourne, Australia. However, in 2019, I made the bold decision to close my practice and start a new chapter in Singapore. My passion for exploring diverse cultures and lifestyles led me to this exciting crossroads.

Over the course of nearly four years, I was a Lecturer at  James Cook University, Singapore, James Cook University, Singapore, where I had the privilege of guiding and mentoring students in the prestigious Master of Psychology (Clinical) program. It was a rewarding experience that allowed me to share my expertise and shape the next generation of mental health professionals.

Today, I am deeply honored to fulfil the role of the Clinical Director of Counselling and Psychotherapy at the School of Positive Psychology in Singapore. I find great joy and purpose in my role, which enables me to make a meaningful impact on the field of psychotherapy in Singapore. Simply put, I love what I do, and I am dedicated to helping individuals to progress to greater well-being, self-discovery, and self-realisation.

I am offering help for a range of issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, panic attacks, relationship difficulties, trauma, and stress. 

My Approach

I have extensive training in a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-focused therapy, Mindfulness-based techniques, Compassion-focused therapies, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). These therapeutic approaches are rooted in distinct theories and employ various techniques to guide you towards well-being. The most successful therapeutic approaches typically involve addressing thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and behaviors, both during our sessions and in the time between them.

How do I choose the way I work with you? I take time to understand you and your concerns. I listen, ask questions, explore what is working and what is not working  in your life. I ask about your goals and what you would like to change. I listen carefully to your answers to see if I can identify unmet needs, underlying emotions, and unworkable behavioural patterns. We discuss expectations, and I share my understanding of your problems and my plan on how I can help you.  I also work at a pace that suits you and regularly check in with you on the progress. Sometimes, the solution I propose can seem counterintuitive or paradoxical. For example, I might ask you to engage more with a feared situation that you are trying to avoid. I present my rationale so you can understand my suggestions. 

My aim is to assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, fostering self-compassion, building inner strength, reducing reactivity, and enhancing awareness of your inner experiences and choices. All of this empowers you to lead a fulfilling life. Ultimately, I aspire for you to reach a point where my guidance is no longer necessary.
