Yammie provides warm, effective therapy for children, adolescents, and adults facing a wide range of emotional and mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. She has particular expertise in trauma and abuse recovery, emotional and behavioural difficulties, and parenting and family relationships. Beyond healing, Yammie is passionate about supporting high-functioning individuals who seek personal growth and meaningful change, helping them reconnect with their core values and feel empowered to live more fulfilling lives.
As a mother of two, Yammie is a strong advocate for women’s mental health and deeply understands the emotional challenges women face across different life stages. Her own experiences returning to studies after her first child and navigating her second postpartum period during the pandemic have enriched her sensitivity to the mental health needs surrounding pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum journey.
Driven by this passion, Yammie is a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist registered with Postpartum Support International. She supports women through the emotional and psychological complexities of womanhood, career demands, relationships, and motherhood with a compassionate and empathetic approach. She facilitates Mindfulness-based groups and workshops for mothers, recognising the power of community in fostering resilience and connection. In addition, she provides individual Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) coaching for parents and conducts socio-emotional workshops for children and adolescents to build skills such as emotional regulation, communication, and self-confidence. Yammie also delivers corporate talks and workshops on mental health, stress management, mindfulness, and psychological well-being, tailored to organisational needs.
In therapy, Yammie balances insight and change, meaning she will help you make sense of your past experiences as well as empower you to use your strengths and newly acquired skills to improve your life now. A collaborative and therapeutic relationship forms the foundation of her work. Understanding that every client’s experiences and preferences are unique, she adopts an integrated approach with techniques from diverse evidence-based psychotherapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Schema Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, to name a few, to customise an appropriate treatment and change plan for clients.
With Yammie’s compassionate and evidence-based approach, clients can expect a safe, supportive space as they work towards healing, growth, and overall well-being. Therapy is available in both English and Chinese.
Outside of work, Yammie enjoys exploring the world with her family and finds grounding in sewing for loved ones, as well as reading biographies, crime, and thriller fiction.
