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. 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 in achieving their goals. Depending on the needs and preferences of each client, the counselling sessions could tap on concepts of solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, the stages of change, structural family therapy, trauma, and somatic work.
