Kaiying has a broad range of experience working with both kids and adults from different backgrounds. Prior to obtaining her Doctor of Clinical Psychology in Sydney, she was working in the government sector as a prison psychologist, and her work included conducting risk assessments and group intervention for offenders. More recently, Kaiying has been working at private clinics in Singapore conducting assessments and intervention for kids and adults.

Some modalities she uses include Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness.
Kaiying has a keen interest in parenting, that is related to her personal parenting experience as a parent of two. She thus works closely with families to manage difficulties that arise. This includes helping children who display oppositional behaviours or conduct problems. This relates to her previous experience as a prison psychologist, as well as her postgraduate training in Sydney, whereby she was trained in parenting intervention that target oppositional behaviour, and conducted research in this area (Sng, K. I., Hawes, D. J., Raine, A., Ang, R. P., Ooi, Y. P., & Fung, D. S. (2018). Callous unemotional traits and the relationship between aggressive parenting practices and conduct problems in Singaporean families. Child abuse & neglect, 81, 225-234.)
Another key area of interest is helping individuals with emotional difficulties or emotional dysregulation. For instance, Kaiying uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to help individuals with borderline personality disorder or others who need help with emotional regulation.
Kaiying also practises mindfulness and regularly incorporates it in her intervention. She is trained in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and on the supervised teaching pathway with the Oxford Mindfulness Center (UK). She is also a trained teacher of Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) with the Center for MIndful Self-Compassion (US).

Ming Hui spent 20 years in the corporate world, with extensive experience in regional business planning, supply chain, HR and the oil and gas industry. When stress levels escalated to an all-time high trying to balance a demanding job with a young family, she felt lost – lost in the past, and lost in the future - notwithstanding having an on-off meditation practice then. It was only when she decided to go right back to basics, by unlearning and relearning mindfulness meditation with MBCT, that she found her way back to the present again. As Ekhart Tolle put it, “The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment.”
Ming Hui is a certified Workplace Mindfulness Facilitator and trained in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and on the supervised teaching pathway with the Oxford Mindfulness Centre (UK). She is passionate about bringing her experiences to connect with learners, helping them improve emotional wellbeing and access their inner wisdom through mindfulness.
