About Me
I am a Chartered Psychologist (Division of Educational and Child Psychology, British Psychological Society) with a PhD in Psychology (New Zealand). I am an educational and developmental psychologist, diagnostician and clinician, and a lecturer. With almost 20 years of experience working with people and families with diverse needs, you can say I have been around a while!
I am skilled in the use of a wide range of cognitive and diagnostic tools. I have experience working with children with a diverse range of abilities in various countries around the world. This will be very helpful for parents with different needs and from different cultural backgrounds. I work regularly with expatriate and local families. I am conversant in English and Mandarin with a limited ability to speak and understand Bahasa Melayu.
As a clinician, I firmly believe in working closely with the child's family and other therapy providers in order to ensure a complete and consistent provision of support to the child. An honest and open line of communication between my clients and I ensure that everyone vested in helping the child is well-informed. I strongly encourage parental and family involvement in my therapy services and I am always happy to share techniques and ideas that the family can use to extend the skills learned in therapy to their wider environment.
In addition, my continued involvement in the scientific community ensures that the approaches I use to assist children and their families are based on scientifically validated methods and that my techniques and knowledge of the field is kept cutting edge.
Married to a fellow Psychologist, we have a two young boys who are the centre of our lives.
