About Me
Hello, I’m Krish Phua.
I am a Registered Counsellor, Psychotherapist and
a Certified Clinical Supervisor, specialising in
- Trauma and PTSD
- Mental Health
- Substance and Behavioural Addictions
- Gender and Sexuality
- HIV and AIDS
- Couple and Family Therapy
I adopt the role of a professional therapist for my clients in individual, couple, family and group settings. I have also facilitated mental health talks and workshops to different profiles of clients and communities.
Conducted in a safe, confidential and supportive environment, I facilitate my clients to uncover the true causes of the real or perceived sufferings, along with the triggers.
In addition, I lead and guide in crisis management, case conceptualisation and management, intervention and treatment formulation, care coordination, and psychosocial support to numerous marginalised community members in need.
Since 2013, I have served in counselling centres, recovery centres, clinic and therapy centres, prisons, hospitals, halfway houses, special schools, and educational institutions.
I have served in a key position at a major Singapore-based autism-focused charitable organisation for more than 12 years. During that time, I worked with clients and their families across the lifespan. Previously, I held senior management positions in the private sector for more than 15 years.
I am currently pursuing a PhD in Counselling Psychology. I am also an appointed Adjunct Faculty (Lecturer) for counselling and psychology subjects in private educational institutions for adult learners.
