Elysia is a clinical psychologist registered in Singapore, having spent years working in the government, social service and public health setting.
In her therapeutic practice, Elysia manages a broad range of mental health concerns including complex trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), depression and anxiety. Elysia has a special interest in working with people who have gone through traumatic experiences across different age ranges from children, youths to adults. She has worked with youths and adults who struggle with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Complex Trauma.
Elysia has experience in providing psychotherapy for a range of individuals depending on their individual needs. She utilises therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), Trauma Systems Therapy (TST), Attacment-Focused Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (AF-EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Triple P Positive Parenting Intervention (Level 4) for adolescents, and mindfulness-based approaches to provide an appropriate modality for each individual.
Beyond clinical intervention, Elysia views the therapeutic space as a safe space to contain and hold client’s difficulties. With openness and curiosity, she creates a safe therapeutic relationship to journey with each individual for them to live a life that is in line with their values. She believes in empowering her clients to work towards their own self-acceptance and independence.
She has experience in conducting psychological assessment for children and adolescents (e.g., WISC-V) to facilitate placement for special education.
Outside of her professional commitments, Elysia enjoys taking walks in parks, looking for good food and cherishes quality time with family and friends.
