Welcome.

Founded by a team of clinical psychologists in 2017, The Psychology Practice (aka TPP) is a specialist psychological consultancy practice and home to popular Psychology blog, The Practice Log (PLog).

TPP started off purely as a blog and social media space aimed at providing freely accessible psychological content for our local community. The PLog chronicles interesting and important clinical issues, news and articles for public, as well as a source for therapists seeking continuing professional development. We became a clinical practice later in 2018 when TPP became a serendipitous haven for many senior-level clinical psychologists who had left public healthcare to practice in a way that we think benefits our clients best. The result is a truly safe-space for our clients and clinical team to practice the way we were trained to. We never looked back.

Today, TPP stands as a fully-fledged psychological practice serving specialist tertiary mental healthcare to Singaporeans and Expatriates across the lifespan. It exists to stir and inspire others to think about themselves and others in psychological ways. Our team is highly-trained and well-respected in our therapeutic community.

It is proudly owned and run by clinical psychologists.

What We Stand For.

The teardrop

The insignia that marks the space for The Psychology Practice is a teardrop that characterises the underlying psychological pain and struggles with living. This engenders the precursor for the practice, where all can expect to seek security and understanding, in the process of working through difficulties as they mobilise their internal resources toward self-resolution.

The Colours

The universality represented by the two colours of black and white, symbolises reversibility. This brings to mind "black and white" thinking, good and/or bad internal objects, and recognises our own internal conflicts. Ultimately, there is reference to a need to achieve some sort of balance in life, between the light and the dark, and our life versus death instincts.

Our Tagline.

"Your Needs are Kept in Mind"

Imagine an existence where your needs are undervalued and not kept in mind - it is a devastating thought. The idea borrowed from Infant Mental Health describes the importance of keeping a baby in mind as a critical factor in perinatal mental health.

"The parent's capacity to observe the moment to moment changes in the child's mental state . . . lies at the root of sensitive caregiving " (Fonagy & Target, 1997, p. 691; see also; Meins, 1999 and Slade, 2002 ). In light of theory and evidence that maternal sensitivity influences the development of attachment security (for review, see Belsky & Fearon, 2008), it should not be surprising that so does parental mentalizing (Arnott & Meins, 2007; Lundy, 2003; Meins, Fernyhough, Fradley, & Tuckey, 2001; Slade et al., 2005).

This is where we come in - keeping your needs in mind.
