Dr Annabelle is a Clinical Psychologist practising in Singapore providing evidence-based therapy for adults, couples, and families.

Her clinical work focuses on the assessment and management of Personality Disorders, particularly Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). She works extensively with individuals experiencing complex trauma, emotional dysregulation, anxiety and mood issues, and long-standing relationship difficulties. Personality Disorders are mental health conditions where an individual experiences significant difficulty in the way they think, perceive, feel or relate to others.

Annabelle also has a strong clinical interest in women’s mental health. She supports individuals and couples navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy-related stress, and life transitions. She works also with older adults and provides psychological support for age-related adjustment and geriatric mental health concerns.

In therapy, Annabelle adopts a non-judgmental, person-calibrated approach to create a safe and validating environment for individuals to explore challenges.


Her therapeutic approach is collaborative, structured, and individually tailored. She integrates Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), and Mindfulness, and incorporates Psychodynamic Psychotherapy principles where clinically appropriate. For relationship difficulties, Annabelle provides the Gottman Method Couples Therapy in Singapore.

Annabelle has worked across hospital, outpatient and community mental health settings in Australia and Singapore. She has experience supporting individuals with high-risk presentations, complex trauma histories, and chronic relational patterns.

In child and family matters, she conducts custody evaluations and psychological assessments relating to care and control arrangements. She was previously appointed as a Custody Evaluation Officer assisting the Family Justice Courts of Singapore. She prepares professional psychological reports for court-related proceedings in Singapore.

Beyond clinical practice, Dr Annabelle contributes to public education on mental health and psychological resilience. She has participated in discussions on financial cybercrime, the psychology of scams, and strategies to strengthen psychological safety in an evolving digital landscape. She remains engaged in forums addressing online financial crime and mental health awareness in Singapore.

Having lived in Melbourne, Bergen and Shanghai, Annabelle has provided therapy to a range of local and expat populations. She is also a mother to her young boys and an aged feline. Annabelle copes with stress by running in nature and hanging from swings.

Annabelle provides therapy in English, Mandarin, Teochew and Hokkien.
