About Athalie

Hi there, I’m Athalie Phau, a psychologist from Singapore with a deep commitment to supporting people across different stages of life.

My current focus is working with children and their caregivers with mental health or parenting concerns, as well as supporting families through perinatal experiences. While I’m not fluent, I can converse in Mandarin, which sometimes helps families feel more comfortable.

My journey into psychology began with living with an autistic loved one, which sparked my passion for understanding and embracing neurodiversity.

Over the years, I have worked across the lifespan with indivduals and groups in public mental health settings, in tertiary eduation, and in private practices. I have designed and facilitated group programs and training sessions for children and adults, supporting them to build insight, skills, and confidence in various areas of life. In my various roles, I have worked closely with people across the lifespan from diverse backgrounds, developing a strong understanding of different cultural perspectives and the ways neurodivergence can impact everyday living.

I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and respectful — a space where people feel heard, understood, and supported as they move forward.

I am also a board-approved supervisor. Having benefited myself from supportive supervision early in my career, I know firsthand how important the relationship with a supervisor is. I strive to provide guidance, encouragement, and reflective support, helping psychologists in training and early career psychologists grow in confidence, skills, and professional insight.

Please note: I am currently on parental leave and will return to offering therapy sessions in December 2025. In the meantime, supervision sessions remain available.

Outside of my professional role, I am a proud mum of two. Becoming a parent — and walking through the experience of perinatal loss — has deeply shaped my empathy, perspective, and approach to my work.

I also love hiking and exploring new trails. Being in nature gives me a sense of grounding and perspective, and reminds me of the resilience and renewal that can come from life’s different seasons.

I believe that every person’s journey is unique, and I am here to walk alongside you as you find your own path to growth, healing, and hope.

Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can.
