Adjunct Senior Lecturer

M.Psych. (Clinical) (University of Melbourne-NUS), B.Soc.Sci. (Hons.) (NUS)

I began practising as a Clinical Psychologist in Singapore in 2011, after completing my Masters in Clinical Psychology with the University of Melbourne and the National University of Singapore. My practice journey has spanned depth and breadth. I have worked extensively with inpatient and outpatient tertiary psychiatric services, working with diverse and complex clinical presentations at the Institute of Mental Health. My practice has also found its way through child protection/youth offending and residential services, community services, military services, global/regional/local corporate consultancy, and private health services.

My core interest is in working with individuals who present with mood disorders. This has been strengthened over many years of practice, and shapes both my clinical and research interests. I have a keen interest in understanding the mechanisms of, and psychological treatment for mood disorders. Toward this, I have undertaken research that examined neuropsychophysiological processes in depression, examining the influence of touch on emotion and cognition. These areas continue to be of interest to me.

Working in healthcare, I have developed expertise in the creation, implementation and delivery of clinical programmes and services. Growing the field of mental health and high practice standards are areas that are of importance to me. This shapes my current commitments to education and clinical supervision, alongside a longstanding love for and commitment to clinical practice.
