- Psychological assessment and clinical formulation
- Evidence-based psychotherapy
- Trauma-informed therapy
- Support for emotional regulation and mood stability
- Relationship and attachment-focused interventions
- Parenting and family-based psychological support
Dr. Chew’s therapeutic work is grounded in recognised modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-focused approaches including EMDR where clinically appropriate, and somatic-informed psychotherapy. These approaches are integrated thoughtfully based on each client’s presentation, goals, and psychological profile.
