Hi there, I’m Athalie Phau, a clinical 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. I am able to speak conversational Mandarin, which sometimes helps families feel more comfortable. I would describe my therapeutic style as reflective, grounded, nurturing, curious, and active.

My journey into the world of psychology began with living with an autistic loved one, which sparked my passion for figuring out what made people tick.

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, as well as students and staff, supporting them to build insight, skills, and confidence in various areas of life.

Having lived and worked across different cultural settings, I understand the unique challenges that can arise when navigating cultural expectations, identity, neurodiversity, and life transitions. My own lived experiences of perinatal grief and loss, adjustment to parenthood, cultural adjustment, and navigating cultural dynamics also shape the empathy and understanding I bring to my work. This perspective informs a therapy approach that values sensitivity, respect, and curiosity — honouring each person’s unique story and way of being.

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.
