  Name Bio
Annemarie Goh Having worked in multidisciplinary teams caring for different populations in various settings, my current research interests lie in enhancing the work and well-being of mental health and helping professionals.

For fun and comfort, I enjoy indulging in artsy and homey activities, such as drawing, painting, knitting, crocheting, crafting, baking, and more!
Ariel Tan Hui Juan I am broadly interested in the areas of child and adult psychopathology, in relation to individuals with developmental needs and their caregivers. To unwind, I enjoy long bus rides with a good Spotify playlist.
Audrey Low Wei Yee Hi there! I'm Audrey. I love spending time with my loved ones, eating good food and dancing. Prior to starting this clinical programme, I worked as a special needs educator and then an associate psychologist serving a range of children to adults with moderate to severe autism needs. In general, I have taught individual sessions, provided assessments as well as supported behavioural and social-emotional interventions. My research interests are towards supporting children and families with psychological trauma, mood disorders and special needs. Feel free to say 'hi' if we ever bump into each other!
Au Yui Ting Chloe Before joining NUS as a clinical psychology intern, I was a behavioural therapist in an international school in Hong Kong where I worked with children with special education needs, aged 4 to 14, and gained my credential as a Board Certified Assistant Behaviour Analyst. I typically served clients with diagnoses of ASD, ADHD, and conduct disorder. I also possess a Master of Social Sciences in Mental Health (Clinical Stream) where I specialised in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from the University of Hong Kong. My clientele included adults with depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. I am skilled in delivering individual, face-to-face and/or digital/virtual interventions for both therapies. My research interests include the examination of the effectiveness of traditional and novel interventions, such as in-person versus virtual CBT, behavioural interventions, and psychoeducation, and their potential moderating or mediating factors. In my spare time, I attend dance lessons in dance studios; my interest lies in girls’ style and jazz funk and am an occasional performer, having previously performed in places, such as the AIA Carnival, in Hong Kong.
Bryan Goh Chao Yi I was a case manager at the Institute of Mental Health where I worked with individuals experiencing their first onset of psychosis. Additionally, I have also worked as a counselling psychologist at the Singapore Civil Defence Force, providing support to recruits with adjustment issues. As such, the diversity of these experiences shaped my interest in the protective and risk factors of the development of psychiatric disorders. I participate in combat sports as a form of stress relief.
Charissa Wong Hui Wen Prior to joining the Master of Psychology (Clinical) programme, I was working at a private psychology centre where I had the opportunity to work with individuals across the lifespan with various special needs and mental health concerns. As an advocate of mental health, my research interests involve finding ways for more people to seek help, such as through regular mental health check-ups. Similar to how I appreciate the broad scope that clinical psychology entails, I do not have one specific hobby but enjoy a wide variety of recreational activities including cycling, kayaking, and travelling. I also enjoy the 3 Fs - food, friends, and family!
Chloe Tay Kah Woon Before joining the clinical psychology programme, I worked with adults with mental health concerns in the social service sector. My research interests include positive psychology, stress response and coping mechanisms, psychopathology and quantitative psychology. I enjoy hiking, listening to music, and fixing Lego and Nanoblock sets in my free time.
Chua Jia Jie Before enrolling into the programme, I had worked with young persons experiencing first episode psychosis as well as their caregivers. My research inclinations lie in transdiagnostic processes in psychopathology. For example, I am interested in our emotion of disgust and its connections with psychopathology.

In our stress-laden contemporary society, I believe that mental good health necessitates effort in carving out. I particularly enjoy unwinding with a cup of coffee on hand, chatting with loved one(s) and watching the world go by as I distance myself from the hustle and bustle of our daily grind.
Daniel Tan Shi Rui I am broadly interested in areas of adult psychopathology and am excited to further explore my various clinical and research interests during and after my time in the NUS Clinical Psychology programme.  In my free time, I enjoy reading philosophy texts, and dancing.
Fauziyyah Hanani Binti Haji Abd Manap Hi 🙂 I'm an international student from Brunei. Before coming to Singapore to join the programme, I've been mostly working with adult population dealing with various mental health issues in outpatient community health centres. Broadly, my research interest lies in complex mental health issues such as trauma, borderline personality disorder, suicidality, chronic depression and psychosis. I would like to explore and learn more about effective non-pharmacological interventions that have favourable prognosis and can further improve patient's quality of life following recovery. My hobby includes reading a good book [mostly non-fiction or classics] with a cuppa hot latte while immersing myself in total quietness and solitude.

As such, my areas of interest vary from mood and anxiety disorders to psychosis. Outside my professional life, I love to cook, bake and travel. Also, I have been building on my keen interest in music through collecting vinyl records over the last few years.
Hemapriya Navaindran Working with people with special needs and psychological difficulties has always been my passion. Over these five years, supporting different profiles of clients, including children with autism and youths with addiction and trauma needs, and seeing them make gradual improvements has been extremely heart-warming and fulfilling. I aspire to continue improving my skills and competencies to provide specialised psychological support and strive to be involved in projects targeted to cultivate greater awareness and acceptance about psychological issues. Additionally, with the understanding that family and friends are also key elements in the recovery journey of the client, I aspire to educate identified groups on basic intervention techniques such that they could support effectively and reinforce concepts learnt in therapy sessions. I believe that every client is different with unique needs and in the importance of tailored intervention to support my clients effectively. My current research interests include the effectiveness of psychological interventions, the impact of interpersonal relationships on mental health and developmental disabilities. During my free time, I enjoy exercising, painting, and playing with animals.

My research interests broadly encompass (a) the effectiveness of psychological treatment on youth and adults with depression, anxiety and panic disorders, and (b) how these treatments contribute to better life outcomes. I spend most of my free time intensively maintaining a healthy work-life balance by weight-lifting, studying Russian, playing computer and board games, drinking tea, and having endless conversations with my wife about anything and everything – intensive indeed!
Leong Yee Teng Janice “What we know matters, but who we are matters more.” – Brene Brown

Motivated by compassion, my hope for entering this clinical program is not only to develop the competencies to become a skilled clinical psychologist, but also the capacity to be an attuned, congruent and humane clinician to meet clients where they’re at.

Having worked in a crisis and suicide intervention setting prior to this, I’ve developed a keen interest in chronic suicidality, complex trauma stemming from childhood, somatic interventions, compassion-focused/ third-wave psychotherapies and integrative approaches to healing.

While I’d consider myself a multi-hobbyist, I find most peace and grounding through cooking/baking, dancing, yoga and hiking in nature.

My clinical and research interests include: 1) addictive disorders and associated mental health issues, 2) the role of culture in mental illness and recovery and 3) the role of caregivers in rehabilitation and recovery. I love Pusheen, a quiet bout of night cycling as well as having deep conversations with friends about the things we care about. I also enjoy exploring the regional foods of India, and can often be found wandering aimlessly about Little India because I can’t decide what to eat.

I hope to build on my interest in mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders during my time in the programme. In terms of research, I'm curious about emotion regulation processes underlying psychopathology. On weekends, I enjoy catching up with friends and finding new places to explore together. I recharge by reading, working out, or getting an extra long night of sleep.
Low Giok Khim In my previous role at a local hospital, I had the privilege of working with youths between the ages of 16 to 30 years old, supporting them with their mental health concerns. 

My current research interest generally lies in psychopathology in adults and older adults. I am also interested in therapeutic interventions and systemic structures that can support the mental health needs of our communities.

In my free time, I find solace in taking long, leisurely runs around my neighbourhood. I also harbour an unbridled love for good green bean soup.

I was an associate psychologist who worked with male youth offenders in the community and in a juvenile residential setting, and subsequently with female youths who had experienced abuse in a residential setting. My experience working with these clients cemented my decision to pursue clinical psychology.

I recharge by taking long walks with my corgis, staying active, and enjoying cake. 

 
Moriah Lim Hui

It has been a long-standing goal of mine to work as a child psychologist. However, through my studies and various work and life experiences, I have also developed an interest in working with youth and young adults. I believe that access to mental health services should not be a privilege and I hope to be where the need is.  

I am generally interested in work involving childhood trauma and how it impacts the young adult. Prior to my Masters, I worked with children with mild to severe autism in both private and school settings. 

I enjoy going to the gym and also crafty activities like crocheting. I also enjoy listening to music and playing the piano.

I recharge my batteries through hot yoga and forcing my dog on long walks with me.

I fill my happy meter by spending quality time with my loved ones, making greeting cards on Procreate, and going on overseas adventures.
