About Me

Shirley Woon

One of the honourees in the category of ‘Career
Transitioner/Restarter’ in SG:40over40

“You are not stuck; you are just committed to a certain style of writing that you have enjoyed in the past. However, change is a constant in our lives. What used to work in the past, may not work now.

Whether you want to rewrite your story, edit your story or to create new stories in your life, I would love to listen to you.”

Clinical Experience/Approach

I have more than 10 years of experience in both professional and voluntary capacities

I provide a safe, supportive space for:
- Individuals
- Couples
- Parent-child
- Anyone seeking a better mental and emotional well-being
I take a personalised, evidence-based, integrative approach, shaping each session around your unique needs and experiences
My work is guided by
- Neuroscience – understanding how your brain responds and adapts
- Psychotherapy – I often use (but not restricted to) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-centered Therapy and Transactional Analysis. Looking at past thought patterns, creating new patterns. Extending window of tolerance.
- Coaching – taking practical, meaningful steps, moving forward to clarity and change
I believe that every person’s story matters, and I honour each individual’s journey. You share at your comfort level and timing
I am a clinical registered member of the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC, C0439)
