Singapore law requires a disclosure that a psychology qualification is not a medical or dental qualification

Kimberly graduated from James Cook University Singapore with a Bachelor of Psychology (First Class Honours) and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Her doctoral research focused on the assessment and management of emotional dysregulation in early childhood.

Kimberly provides psychological intervention using a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities to clients in local hospitals, community clinics, and private practice. Kimberly is experienced in the management of depression, anxiety disorders, personality disorders (e.g., Borderline Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), somatic symptom disorders (e.g., chronic pain and gastrointestinal disorders), dissociative disorders, and trauma.

Kimberly worked extensively with children with neurodevelopmental disorders and their families in both early intervention and special education settings. Specific conditions include Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Disability (ID), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Global Developmental Delay (GDD), and attachment difficulties.

Kimberly practices a transdisciplinary approach to intervention and works closely with other Allied Health professionals, such as occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists, to provide psychological services that were family-focused and strengths-based. She is experienced conducting child and adolescent psychological assessments as well as providing individual and group therapy to children and teenagers with socioemotional and behavioural difficulties. She also works closely with parents to promote positive parenting behaviours and reduce caregiver stress.
