Clinical Psychology

Nina and Emma set up Thrive Family with a vision to support both the local and the expat communities. The aim is to focus on providing an excellent service for clients, by choosing clinicians that share in their values and expertise. Thrive Family was also set up with an intention to support local communities, and to nurture the provision of good quality psychological care and to reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues. To this goal, Thrive Family works with a number of local communities, such as Zenith Medical in Punggol, CPAS, Institute of Mental Health and National University Singapore. Thrive Family also offers clinical supervision, training and hands on psychotherapeutic work within the community. All the therapists at Thrive Family are motivated to be here by more than for financial reasons. We all have a shared commitment to using evidence based practice in our work. We are all working to become experts in our line of work, and we do this by continually training and educating ourselves. We also work as part of a team, and we are all very supportive of each other and the work we do. We believe this helps us deliver the best service […]

My name is Dr. Kristina Burgetova and I am the founder and principal psychologist of Willow Psychological Services Pte. Ltd. in Singapore. My work experience is primarily with adults as a consulting psychologist, clinical supervisor and adjunct professor. I have worked as a clinician in the USA, Canada and Singapore. My clinical interests include couple therapy and relationship issues, identity development and self-exploration, family of origin issues, adjustment and acculturation issues, and well-being of high functioning individuals.​ I use postmodern contemporary approaches to psychotherapy. In my sessions, I do not act as an expert but rather as a guide to help you gain more insight into your concerns and help you learn ways to manage them better. My hope for our sessions is that you will gain self awareness and obtain tools that will ultimately help you to be your own therapist. Besides psychotherapy, I provide clinical supervision to trainee psychologists and am an adjunct professor at National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. I also provide psychological consultations, develop and run mental health related workshops at INSEAD Business School, Singapore. ​I hold Master degree in Couple and Family Therapy and Doctorate degree in Counselling Psychology from University of […]
