The Mental Health & Social Impact of the Coronavirus
Finding the Middle Path
Dr Suzanne Anderson
Psychotherapist
“Experienced counsellor working with teens and trauma as well as depression, anxiety, expat living & critical incident response.”
About Me
I guide teens and adults through the complexities of trauma, depression, and anxiety. For those experiencing expat living challenges or needing support after critical incidents, I offer focused guidance. My work provides a steady framework to process difficult emotions and build coping strategies. Clients appreciate my experienced approach in helping them find stability and renewed well-being.
Approach
Experienced counsellor working with teens and trauma means sessions move at a pace that balances safety and growth. In my Singapore practice, offered in English and online, I pair short practical check-ins with focused trauma work, adjusting rhythm for adolescents, parents and adults. We set clear goals, practise coping skills during and between sessions, and review progress so learning becomes usable day-to-day. This steady, outcome-focused way of working tends to help those coping with relocation, grief or critical incidents who want practical, reliable support.
