Our Clinical Team
Dr. Heather Gan
FOUNDER; CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
Dr. Heather Gan is the founder of The Psychology Alley and a Clinical Psychologist with a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Wollongong. Born and raised in Singapore, Heather completed her clinical training in Australia and has since built a practice grounded in cultural understanding, depth-oriented psychological work, and a genuine warmth for the people she works with.
Heather's areas of clinical interest include anxiety disorders, borderline personality disorder (BPD), and cultural identity issues. She draws on an integrative therapeutic approach, weaving together Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy to develop personalised treatment plans for each client.
Heather is particularly attuned to the experiences of individuals from Asian and cross-cultural backgrounds, and is conversational in Mandarin.
