Rebecca believes in holding life-giving space in counselling and therapy with respect for the uniqueness of each person. Therapeutic approaches are therefore adapted to fit each person, couple and family, creating space where each could tell their own stories, and be heard, not just by the therapist, but also by those who are important to them. In the process, opportunities are also created for each person to listen to themselves, foster greater self-understanding, kindness and compassion for self and other.
She has had training in social work and family and couples therapy and is mindful of attachment experiences and needs, trauma-informed approaches and taking a systemic and relational perspective in problems and problem-solving.
From 1995-1999, she worked at the Bukit Ho Swee Social Service Centre, where she was involved in the Family Learning Centre, an experimental project where low-income families facing multiple problems, were engaged in an intensive period of live-in family therapy. This piqued her interest in family therapy, and Rebecca subsequently trained in systemic family psychotherapy in 2005-2006 while working at New Life Community Services Centre where she provided social work and counselling services to the community and neighbouring primary schools.
From 2007-2021, she was at the Counselling and Care Centre where she was involved in counselling:

Individuals to enhance mental and emotional well-being
Couples with a range of issues such as marital conflicts, affairs, co-parenting after divorce, relationship difficulties and marriage preparation
Families, including families with adult children, young children and youth. Issues presented included concerns about parents’ marriage, worries about behavioural issues of their children and relationship difficulties.
She also provided consultation services for counselling work to individual social workers and group consultations for social service agencies, hospitals, and tertiary institutions. Rebecca was also involved in training social workers and counsellors in courses and workshops related to family therapy, systemic practice and clinical supervision.
