About Karon Ng & Hope and Heart Counselling

The main psychotherapy utilised at Hope and Heart Counselling in Singapore is Internal Family Systems (IFS), which has been shown to help with trauma, depression and anxiety. Brainspotting work, a brain-body physiological approach, may be incorporated into the therapeutic work as well. Our counsellor has experience working with adults and youth struggling with issues like self-harm, suicide, abuse, depression, anxiety, work challenges and relational difficulties, as well as ex-offenders and their families.

The therapeutic work is done collaboratively from a strengths-based perspective and is person-centered, focusing on supporting clients to achieve their goals. Depending on the needs and preferences of each client, the counselling sessions could tap on concepts of trauma, somatic work, the stages of change, structural family therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, and Gottman.

Who is Karon Ng?

Karon is a level 3-trained, certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and a Brainspotting practitioner in Singapore. IFS is a model of psychotherapy that has been shown to help with trauma, depression, and anxiety; similarly with Brainspotting. In the course of her work life and as a counsellor, she has helped ex-offenders and their families, as well as adults and youth struggling with issues like self-harm, suicide, abuse, depression, anxiety, work challenges and relational difficulties.

Karon also learnt the concepts of trauma, somatic work, dance movement therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, the stages of change, structural family therapy, and Gottman.

She completed a qualitative research project as well on the practice of counselling, that uncovered what seasoned counsellors actually do in therapy sessions. Key findings include the counsellors’ experience of therapeutic presence and how they each work in the moment, holding space and intervening in the here-and-now, regardless of the modalities they employ.
