About Me

I am trauma-specialist and counselling psychologist based in Singapore. I practise with EMDR, Somatic Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I am also a Clinical Supervisor.

Education & Experience

My clinical work started in 2013. I am familiar with complex trauma, including dissociative symptoms. I also work with youths and adults on anger, OCD, mood disorders, and various anxiety conditions. I have been supervising /managing counsellors & social workers since 2017.

Professional & Volunteer Affiliations

My certification process was journeyed with Dr Maggie Poon Wai Ling of Hong Kong, who is an excellent clinician with expert-level experience in various modalities and assessments. I am currently receiving consultation with Dr Debra Wesselmann who has previously impacted my work with individuals facing attachment injury or complex trauma. My training in EMDR is at Masterclass level. I have also received training in various protocols including structural dissociation protocol with Dr Roger Solomon, Flash Technique with Dr Phillip Manfield, Pain Protocol with Mark Grant, and many more. I am a training assistant with Babette Rothschild. I assist with her classes on Somatic Trauma Therapy. I am also a registered ExRP therapist with the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety.
