Registered Psychologist

About Me

Shermyn, a Registered Counseling Psychologist, offers a supportive space for individuals from adolescence to later life. She helps clients navigate concerns like anxiety, depression, and the lasting impact of trauma or abuse. Shermyn works collaboratively, exploring feelings and making sense of difficult experiences together. This approach helps build self-worth and find practical ways to manage stress and life adjustments. Clients seeking a thoughtful, collaborative process will find her a good match.

Approach

Sessions often open with gentle curiosity about what feels stuck now, and together we pace exploration so it feels manageable. I offer face-to-face and online appointments in Singapore, working in English or Mandarin, and I sometimes suggest brief reflective practices between meetings. The work blends trauma-informed listening, mindfulness exercises and practical coping steps—tracking patterns, grounding during overwhelm, and noticing emerging strengths. Those seeking steady, practical companionship through recovery and change tend to find this approach helpful.
