Clinical Psychology Registrar and PhD (Clinical Psychology) Candidate at the University of Wollongong based in Surry Hills, NSW.

Born and raised in Singapore, Heather embarked on her journey in psychology by pursuing her clinical training in Australia. Now a Clinical Psychology Registrar and a PhD (Clinical Psychology) candidate, she has dedicated her career to understanding and treating mental health disorders.

Heather's clinical niches include anxiety disorder, borderline personality disorder, and cultural identity issues. Her multicultural background and international training have provided her with unique insights into these complex areas. She utilizes an integrative approach to therapy, combining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Schema-Informed Therapy to create personalized treatment plans for her clients.

Her commitment to evidence-based practice and her passion for helping others have made Heather a sought-after psychologist in her field. She believes in creating a safe and empathetic space where clients can explore their challenges and work towards meaningful change.

Outside of her professional life, Heather's interests are as diverse as her therapeutic approaches. She enjoys dancing and swimming. Heather's love for rewatching "Modern Family" for the 5th time showcases her sense of humour and appreciation for the complexities of human relationships.

Heather's blend of academic rigour, clinical expertise, and genuine compassion makes her an invaluable asset to her clients and the broader mental health community. Her practice is not just about treating symptoms; it's about understanding individuals and empowering them to lead fulfilling lives.

“My goal is to help clients understand how their past influences the present, and to learn skills to create the life they want to live.”
