Ms. Huay Khem Yap, MAC
Preferred Name: Khem
About Me
I’m Huay Khem, a Singapore-based counsellor, and I’m here to support you on your healing journey, especially when things feel overwhelming, heavy, or difficult to navigate on your own.
I work with individuals and couples seeking counselling support in Singapore for trauma, childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, and personal growth. My work as a trauma therapist integrates approaches such as EMDR to support deeper healing, especially when experiences feel difficult to process through talking alone.
As a therapist, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and not judged. Building trust is an important part of the process, and I work gently and collaboratively to support you at your own pace.
If you are looking for trauma-informed counselling in Singapore, you are welcome to reach out to explore if this feels like the right fit for you.
Education & Experience
I hold a Master of Counselling (Advanced) from Swinburne University of Technology and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Singapore Institute of Management University. I am trained in a range of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, Flash Techniques, Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Family Therapy, Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy, Choice Theory Reality Therapy, Transactional Analysis, and clinical hypnotherapy (5-PATH and 7th Path Self-Hypnosis).
I have more than five years of experience in counselling.
