I developed a passion in counselling when I started out as a school volunteer counsellor working with youth. I saw the transformative power of the counselling relationship on the youths in school and even later in life beyond school. This was a life changing experience for me and I was spurred to setup my own private counselling and psychotherapy practice in 2004. That was a time when there were few counselling and consultation services in Singapore. Since then, I have been working with youths, couples, parents, working adults on their emotional issues and mental health and well-being through counselling and psychotherapy for over 20 years.

Beyond helping my clients within the counselling room, I believe in tapping on the multiplier effect to bring healing and strength to individuals, and relationships between couples and within families. I thus expanded my work and I now devote a large portion of my time towards raising the skills and competencies of the helping profession through lecturing, training, clinical supervision and consultancy services.

My area of passion and specialisation is Choice Theory, Reality Therapy, Lead Management (CTRTLM) because it is highly empowering. I thus find great joy in training counsellors, therapist, social workers, coaches, leaders and managers in this area.  I am also trained in Emotion Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy and Gottman Couples Therapy and my work is also informed by therapeutic models such as Positive Psychology, Humanistic Therapy, Experiential Therapy and Systemic Family Therapy.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with organisations across different sectors, ranging from Youth Centers, Family Service Centers and Specialist Centers to the Health Promotion Board (HPB) and Ministry of Education (MOE). The latter two involved projects where I was able to share my passion for helping youth in Singapore. With the HPB, I helped develop the Peer Support Program for youth and conducted training for youth leaders from tertiary institutions and for those involved in the online peer support network “Youthpals”. With the MOE, I conducted cluster training for school counsellors and teachers on counselling and therapy skills to better help our students.

It is also my firm conviction that all situations of loss and pain can be opportunities for deep healing, growth and connection. I have thus been committed to providing regular training on the topic of “Grief and Loss” to social service practitioners through the Social Service Institute (SSI).

Cheryl Lee

Senior Counsellor

Master of Social Science (Professional Counselling), Swinburne University of Technology

Certified Choice Theory, Reality Therapy and Lead Management Practitioner (CTRTC)

Choice Theory, Reality Therapy and Lead Management (CTRTLM) Practicum Supervisor (Faculty of William Glasser International & William Glasser Institute, Singapore)

Registered Counsellor, Singapore Association for Counselling

In my own search for life’s direction, I discovered the call to live this life purposefully helping people experience healing and triumph even over the most trying of circumstances and human experiences. I find deep meaning in this work journeying with people in this process and helping people realise the higher potential of their life.  Conviction in this vocation led me to leave behind the familiarity of a fifteen-year career in public administration and make a mid-career switch to counselling and psychotherapy.

I obtained my qualifications in Professional Counselling from Swinburne University of Technology, Australia. I am trained in the main counselling and therapeutic approaches, with further specialisation in Choice Theory Reality Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The work I do is also strongly informed by Person-Centred Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, Systemic Therapy and Neuroscience.

Prior to practicing professionally as a counsellor, I volunteered in the social services as a counsellor. I was also a paracounsellor supporting fellow colleagues through stresses and crises at work and in their personal life. As a professional counsellor, I currently work with adults, youths and couples on issues ranging from anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity crisis, compulsive behaviours, to relationship struggles, caregiving and parenting challenges. 

I am also a faculty of William Glasser International and William Glasser Institute Singapore and take great joy in teaching Choice Theory, Reality Therapy and Lead Management ideas to all who are keen to learn, be it helping professionals or individuals just wanting to better their life and relationships. 

In my work as a counsellor, I adopt the Choice Theory ideas to help people  learn to make more effective choices towards greater empowerment and internal freedom to improve one’s quality of life and relationships. I also adopt the humanistic view that every person is different and have beliefs and desires that may not yet been uncovered or owned, leading to feelings of unhappiness and stuckness. I thus place great importance in creating the therapeutic relationship with my clients that embodies empathy, safety, authenticity and professionalism. This allows my clients to have the space and freedom to make sense of their life story, struggles and aspirations, and for us to collaboratively work towards the life they want.

I have always had a keen interest in working with children and youth. I find it fulfilling and meaningful to be working, supporting and guiding them, and I now have more than eight years of experience in this area. After graduating from the University of Buffalo, New York State with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, I started working with children and youth with Special Needs in early intervention. From my interactions with my clients over these years, I have come to see that being able to provide the emotional support that they and their families need is very important.

Being diagnosed with dyslexia and tactile defensives (Sensory Integrative Disorder), I remember the unconditional and judgement-free support I received from families and friends that got me through the various challenges. Therefore, I aim to offer the same unconditional support and judgement-free interaction to all my clients. Through my personal experience, I understand how crucial it is for individuals to develop a strong emotional foundation and a support network, especially those in similar circumstance. Therefore, I strongly believe in journeying and supporting individuals through stressful times, and in working with their loved ones through the strengthening of the bonds within the family unit.

I am trained in the major counselling and therapeutic approaches and also in Choice Theory Reality Therapy and Behavioural Therapy. My work is informed by Person Centred Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy. Beyond children and youth, I have counselled clients in other settings and age groups including young adults and families. I am particularly interested in supporting people in building resilience and skills to cope with stress, anxiety adjustments and overall socio-emotional needs. Given my own personal and work experience, I firmly believe that everyone deserves a chance in a fulfilling life. To better support my clients, I am currently pursuing my certification for Choice Theory and Reality Therapy after obtaining my Masters in Guidance and Counselling at James Cook University.
