Meet Hui Wen

Hui Wen is an empathetic and collaborative therapist who believes in empowering clients to meet their own emotional needs and become their most authentic selves. Often drawing on her training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment Theory, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other person-centred modalities, she customises her work according to her clients’ unique selves and needs.

​

​She is known for her calm presence, clinical depth, and her ability to help clients reconnect with themselves in ways that feel grounded and sustainable. At the heart of her work is a simple belief:

​

most people already know what they need. What they often lose over time is a sense of internal safety — a feeling of being at home within themselves.

​

How Hui Wen Works

​

Hui Wen works with clients who have lost sight of themselves — often after prolonged stress, anxiety, or relational trauma. Many of the individuals she supports experience high levels of anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or a reliance on external sources to feel safe, regulated, or reassured.

​

Her work focuses on helping clients rebuild an internal sense of safety, rather than depending on constant reassurance, relationships, or coping strategies outside themselves. This is especially important for individuals whose early experiences or traumatic histories disrupted the development of felt safety.

​

Hui Wen has extensive experience working with complex trauma, including post-traumatic stress, sexual assault, and adverse childhood experiences. She is currently working with many clients who experience dissociation — including emotional numbing, depersonalization, and disconnection from their bodies or inner experience.

In practice, this means she works slowly and carefully, prioritizing stabilization, nervous system regulation, and reconnection with the self.

​

Therapy emphasizes:

• helping clients recognize and tolerate internal states without shutting down

• gently reducing dissociative responses while increasing present-moment awareness

• restoring a sense of agency and continuity within the self

• supporting clients to experience themselves as a safe place to return to

​

For Hui Wen, therapy is not about pushing insight or revisiting trauma prematurely. It is about helping clients feel grounded enough to come back to themselves — again and again — until safety is no longer something borrowed from the outside, but something carried within.

​

Hui Wen holds a Master’s Degree in Counselling from Monash University (Australia) and a Bachelor of Science from Nanyang Technological University (Singapore). She is a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC).

​

She is also a qualified clinical supervisor, licensed by the Psychology Board of Australia, and provides supervision to trainee counsellors. Her supervision work reflects the same principles as her clinical practice: attunement, ethical clarity, and the therapist’s own emotional regulation as central to effective care.
