Hui Fang’s work is grounded in a simple but hard-won belief: psychological growth happens in relationship. It does not happen through advice given from a distance or through insight alone. Rather, it develops through the experience of being genuinely met, understood and accompanied, and through slowly discovering new ways of being with ourselves and with others.

People often come to therapy with questions they cannot quite put into words. Why do I feel this way? Why do I keep finding myself in the same patterns? Why do I sometimes feel like I am too much, or not enough? Hui Fang meets these questions with empathy, curiosity and a willingness to slow down and wonder together. She believes that meaningful change comes not only from understanding ourselves differently, but also from experiencing something different in relationship. Therapy can become a space where we feel seen, taken seriously and accepted as we are. Over time, these new experiences can become part of how we understand ourselves and relate to others.

Hui Fang completed her postgraduate clinical training at the National University of Singapore on a full scholarship awarded through the Healthcare Graduate Studies Award by the Ministry of Health Holdings. She spent almost a decade working in public mental health settings, including Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) and the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) before transitioning to private practice. During this time, she worked with older adolescents and adults across a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, grief and loss, self-esteem, and interpersonal and relationship difficulties. Her experience spans community, outpatient and inpatient settings.

Hui Fang is a registered clinical psychologist and clinical supervisor with the Singapore Register of Psychologists (SRP). Over the course of her career, Hui Fang’s way of working has increasingly moved towards experiential, relational and psychodynamic approaches. She currently practises from an integrative and trauma-informed perspective, with a particular focus on relational and psychodynamic ways of understanding psychological difficulties. Her clinical training has included Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Focusing-Oriented Therapy (FOT), Schema Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based approaches. While these approaches offer different ways of understanding and working with psychological difficulties, Hui Fang is particularly interested in the emotional and relational experiences that shape how we understand ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we come to feel about who we are.

Throughout her career, Hui Fang has sought to translate psychological knowledge into meaningful clinical work. At NTFGH, where she served as lead psychologist at the Memory Clinic, she initiated and developed cognitive rehabilitation group interventions for older adults experiencing cognitive impairment. At IMH, she was part of a specialist PTSD clinic team providing multidisciplinary, evidence-based trauma-focused care to adults experiencing PTSD and other psychological consequences of trauma.

Hui Fang is particularly passionate about group psychotherapy and is a member of the American Group Psychotherapy Association. She has come to see the group as a relationship in miniature, where familiar ways of relating can emerge, be witnessed by others, and be explored and reworked in real time. She has facilitated psychoeducational, CBT, emotional support and process-oriented groups for students, individuals and multidisciplinary teams. For Hui Fang, the power of group therapy lies not simply in being with others, but in the possibility of experiencing something different in relationship. It can offer connection where there has been isolation, acceptance where there has been shame, and new possibilities where old patterns once felt fixed.

Hui Fang also provides clinical supervision, which she sees as another form of relational learning. She values sharing the knowledge and experience she has gained through clinical practice while remaining open to what she can learn from the clinicians she supervises. Her aim is not simply to provide answers, but to create a space where supervisees can think deeply and openly about their work. She encourages them to explore their own emotional responses, question assumptions, learn from mistakes and gradually develop their own clinical voice. At IMH, Hui Fang supervised graduate interns and fellow clinical psychologists. She also served as one of the lead clinical supervisors for a two-year pilot project that trained advanced practice nurses to deliver cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp). In private practice, she has provided individual and group supervision to social service organisations and emergency services departments.

An ardent and ongoing learner, Hui Fang believes that therapists should never stop developing. Psychology continues to evolve, and so do we as clinicians. Every client brings something new, not only to our understanding of psychological difficulties, but also to our understanding of what it means to be human. Hui Fang is currently pursuing further psychoanalytic training to deepen her understanding of intersubjectivity, relational processes and the ways in which our histories shape the relationships we form in the present.

Outside the therapy room, Hui Fang is a devoted reader of mystery and fantasy, drawn to stories that unfold slowly and invite her to see the world through unfamiliar eyes. She also enjoys curating board games to play with her two “tweens”, discovering new ways to connect, laugh and spend time together. Perhaps these interests reflect something of what she values in her work too: curiosity, playfulness, and the opportunity to enter another person’s world and see things from a different perspective. She believes that some of the most meaningful moments in life are found in the simple act of being present with one another.

If you are considering therapy, Hui Fang hopes to offer a space where you can slow down, become curious about your experiences and begin to understand yourself in a different way. You do not have to arrive with all the answers. Sometimes, the first step is simply having a place where you do not have to make sense of it all alone.
