Jeanice has several years of clinical experience at the Institute of Mental Health on top of her years of service as a psychologist to Home Team Officers in the Singapore Civil Defence Force and Singapore Police Force. Her experience includes providing individual psychotherapy to adults with interpersonal and relational concerns, stress and anger management difficulties, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, mood disturbances, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and personality disorders.

Jeanice conceptualises the therapy process as a journey which she takes with her clients towards meeting their needs and goals. As a firm believer in the importance of relationships as catalysts for therapeutic change, she places great emphasis on building alliance and trust with each individual she works with. Adopting a client-centred and integrative approach, Jeanice provides customised treatment based on each individual’s unique needs. She strives to make a positive difference in people’s lives, one person at a time – regardless of their cultural or ethnic group, religious belief, gender and sexual orientation, as she believes that everyone deserves the right to mental wellness.  One of her areas of interest is in helping clients process the unresolved responses related to trauma and abuse, and work with them towards recovery and restoration of self-compassion and equilibrium in their lives.

In her free time, Jeanice enjoys bonding with her children and family as well as honing her parenting skills by reading up on related topics. 

Jeanice speaks both English and Mandarin. She is available on Thursdays and Saturdays.
