Hui Fang completed her postgraduate clinical training at the National University of Singapore with a full scholarship, Healthcare Graduate Studies Award, from the Ministry of Health Holdings. With nearly a decade of experience in public mental health settings including Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) and the Institute of Mental Health (IMH), Hui Fang has worked extensively with older adolescents and adults presenting with a range of psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, interpersonal and relationship difficulties in a variety of community, outpatient and inpatient settings.

Not only does she provide psychotherapy and psychological assessment services, but she has also always been enthusiastic about improving the lives of the clients she has worked with. This has led her to initiate and to develop cognitive rehabilitative interventions for clients with issues of cognitive impairment at NTFGH in the earlier part of her career. In her previous role as a senior clinical psychologist in IMH, she has also provided clinical supervision to graduate interns and other clinical psychologists. Notably, Hui Fang is one of the main clinical supervisors to advance practitioner nurses of a two-year pilot project in which the nurses were trained to deliver cognitive behavioural interventions for clients with psychosis (CBTp). She was also invited to be a member of a specialist multi-disciplinary team for trauma-focused work.  

Whilst trained in various therapeutic approaches – Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Schema Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness-based approaches and group psychotherapy, Hui Fang tends towards a person-centred and experiential approach to psychotherapy. She is most passionate about working with individuals who are struggling with emotional or attachment injuries and relational trauma in both individual and group psychotherapy.

As a firm believer that a safe therapeutic space is foundational for the exploration and processing of difficult emotional conflicts, she strives to be an unassuming therapist and listens to her clients with empathic sensitivity and gentle inquisitiveness. She values authenticity in her connections with her clients as she journeys with them to arrive at deeper self-understanding of their emotional conflicts and to facilitate resolution of their difficulties to meet their needs in adaptive ways.

An ardent learner and a firm believer of ongoing learning, she is currently undergoing training for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and pursuing certification for EFT and group psychotherapy.
