OH LONG YUAN

I'm an advocate for mental health and well-being, involved in crisis intervention, and currently training to be a registered psychotherapist in both Singapore and Australia, under the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC) and the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).

My future practice will be grounded in attachment theory. I will also draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy, alongside modalities that integrate mindfulness principles.
