About Our Counselling Psychologist

About Sylvia

Hi, I’m Sylvia — a Counselling Psychologist in Singapore with over 20 years of experience supporting people through life’s toughest transitions.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or navigating heartbreak, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. Whether it’s anxiety, grief, trauma, or the painful process of divorce, I offer a space where you can feel truly heard, supported, and gently guided toward healing.


I’ve Walked the Path Too

My approach is grounded not only in evidence-based therapies, but also in personal experience. I’ve been through my own journey of divorce, trauma, and loss. I understand the emotional weight of trying to keep it all together, especially when everything feels like it’s falling apart.

That experience has shaped the way I work — with deep compassion, no judgment, and a real understanding of what it takes to rebuild your life and your sense of self. Clients often tell me they feel safe, seen, and deeply understood in our sessions.


How I Work

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches — Psychodynamics Therapy, Cognitive Behaivour Therapy, Schema Therapy, IFS, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Therapy, and Hakomi Therapy,  — weaving them together in a way that fits your needs. I also integrate mindfulness, meditation and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to support deep, lasting change.

Over the years, I’ve worked in private practice, community settings, and government agencies like the Singapore Family Justice Courts. I also support clients going through high-conflict divorces, post-divorce parenting, and custody issues.


A Bit More About Me

I’m a single mum to two adults daughters. I find calm in nature, music, and meaningful conversations. I’m here to walk alongside you — with empathy, clarity, and care — as you find your way back to yourself.
