Carol Goh Professional counsellor, therapist, and coach in Singapore With over 18 years of counselling and therapy experience under my belt, I have provided professional counselling services for youths, adolescents, adults, expats, couples and families. I specialise in uncovering the root cause of presenting issues, facilitating growth from the ‘inside out’, that is, facilitating inner change leading to outer change by focusing on the ‘root cause’. I have worked with diverse segments of clients ranging from those suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, self-harm, eating disorder, to anger issues. I have also worked with many married couples facing marital and relationship issues. Having successfully helped many of my clients to recovery and regain mental wellness, the key lies in identifying some common core debilitating sources that are fueling such behavioural issues. As a psychotherapist I believe problems must be worked through therapeutic healing of the inner self or else they remain forever a barrier to living an effective and successful life. Through non-judgemental approach I want to know your story and life challenges and eventually work towards helping you to feel empowered.

Supports incarcerated parents, and their children and families, to break the cycle of incarceration through early intervention and preventive measures

Working with families in order to guide a child to reach his fullest potential has been a long held belief of mine. Children’s Partnership was set up in 2005 with the intent of working together with families. Over the years, it has been a privilege to work with each and every family as we work towards guiding each child in their journey through life. I have also been blessed with a team of incredibly talented and dedicated consultants who are passionate about the work they do with the families. From a professional standpoint, I graduated from Murdoch University with a degree in Psychology. I worked in a special school, where I got to learn about the gifts of each child I taught as I guided them through dance, swimming and job placements, in addition to the day to day academics. During this time, I earned master’s degree in Applied Psychology and started a new phase in my work life where I was involved in the assessment and diagnosis of children at a local hospital. In my time there, I received training in various intervention programmes (PECS, Structured Teaching, MISC approach) and helped to initiate various intervention programmes. I was and […]
