Ms Shee Wai Ho

Registered Psychologist

Founder, Director & Registered Psychologist of The Counselling Place. More than 24 years of clinical experience working with Expatriates & Local Professionals.

About Me

I help expatriates and local professionals navigate the unique pressures of their lives. With over 24 years of clinical experience, I offer a steady, understanding space where complex challenges can be explored. Sessions often incorporate EMDR, a focused approach to process difficult experiences and foster lasting resilience. Clients find my extensive background provides practical support for their well-being.

Approach

Years of clinical leadership have shaped how I pace therapy, combining practical focus with gentle curiosity to help you make sense of complicated experiences. Based in Singapore, I offer sessions in English and Mandarin and maintain flexible online appointments so work and family commitments can be honoured. Sessions are collaborative and structured: we set clear goals, use targeted EMDR when trauma needs processing, and I provide brief between-session tasks or assessments to track progress. This approach suits professionals facing cross-cultural transitions, grief or mounting anxiety.
