Prior to joining the clinical program, I was an associate psychologist at Rainbow Centre, where I worked with children between 7 and 12 years old with autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental conditions.

Broadly, my research interests include adverse childhood experiences and its effects on later-life psychological vulnerabilities. I am passionate about trans-diagnostic approaches to therapy and supporting clients holistically.

To recharge, I enjoy hiking with my dog, travelling and trying new cafes around the island!

When I am not studying/working, I will probably be found watching a slice-of-life television series, having a good laugh with loved ones, cooking food or attempting to learn foreign languages.

Hello, I’m Ianni! My journey into Clinical Psychology has been fulfilling, and I consider myself blessed to be here today. Previously, I worked as a Case Manager at IMH’s Early Psychosis Intervention Programme, where I had the privilege of walking with clients and caregivers through the raw, complex reality of their recovery journeys.

My background in English Literature has fueled my research interests, which includes 3rd wave psychotherapies that were shaped by postmodernism.

I maintain my own wellness through being with my loved ones, enjoying a good novel, and playing the piano!

Prior to joining the clinical programme, I worked as an Associate Psychologist at Singapore General Hospital, where I supported clients from all walks of life — from young children to older adults. My research interests are broadly related to trauma, self-compassion, risk and protective factors of adult psychopathology.

In my free time, I love to whip up a good cup of matcha (or any tea!), and also enjoy going on long walks with my camera in hand. Keeping active and prioritizing my fitness are other ways I recharge and fill up my own cup 🙂

My broad interests are in understanding and addressing the impact of early traumatic and adverse experiences on youth and young adults, and how risks and protective factors lead to offending behaviours and mental health issues.

In my free time, I enjoy running and exercising, watching movies, and travelling.

My research interests broadly revolve around mood and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, third-wave psychotherapies, and the mental health needs of vulnerable groups.

Outside of my professional life, I find joy in drawing, travelling, and watching movies and plays. I also try (occasionally with great effort) to stay active through swimming and going to the gym.

Prior to joining the clinical programme, I was an Associate Psychologist at Chen Su Lan Methodist Children’s Home, where I worked with children and adolescents in out-of-home care who had experienced abuse, trauma, and attachment disruptions. My work involved individual and group interventions, psychological assessments, and supporting staff in trauma-informed care. Before that, I was a Caseworker in the same organisation.

My research interests include the long-term impact of childhood adversity, trauma-informed interventions, and the development of maladaptive schemas and emotion regulation difficulties. I’m particularly passionate about breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and helping children build healthier relational patterns.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new art forms (especially therapeutic and expressive arts), playing the harmonium, travelling, and café-hopping. I also find calm in spending time by the water and going on walks with my goldendoodle!

I am particularly interested in researching how familial and psychosocial factors influence psychopathology in children and youth as well as exploring transdiagnostic approaches to mental health work. Spending time with loved ones and documenting memories through film photography are some ways that I stay recharged.

Before joining the clinical programme, I worked as an associate psychologist, providing psychological interventions and assessments for neurodiverse children. I also worked at the Child Protective Service, where I contributed to sector development initiatives. I also had the privilege to volunteer and support youth’s mental health in the community.

These roles sparked my passion for children and youth’s mental health. I am eager to deepen my knowledge in trauma-focused interventions, parenting, intergenerational processes, and the mental health of the neurodiverse populations.

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling and hiking, exercising, and baking.

After completing my Masters in Clinical Neurodevelopmental Sciences from King’s College London, I worked as a Psychologist in a social service organization for adults with Intellectual Disability and other neurodevelopmental conditions. Motivated by the passion to serve this population, I provided direct psychological services to address their emotional, behavioral and learning needs. I then moved on to work with preschool children with learning difficulties at a private developmental clinic in order to gain exposure working with a different population. My research interests broadly include mental health conditions in the special needs population and the effective adaptation of therapy for them. Outside of work and study, I enjoy scrapbooking and hunting for cute soft toys form all over the world.
