Heal & Hearty

Kyl is an accredited psychotherapist with APACS (Association of Psychotherapists and Counsellors Singapore) and art psychotherapist with ANZACATA (The Australian, New Zealand and Asian Creative Arts Therapies Association).

She has supported children, adolescents and adults with mental health, learning and behavioural challenges, as well as cancer survivors, in which she developed interests in mental healthcare, chronic physical and complex psychiatric illnesses. She is devoted to supporting and journeying with her clients as they endeavour to nurture more wholesome connections with themselves and those in their lives.

At the heart of her work, Kyl utilizes compassionate, psychodynamic and strength-based approaches to enable individuals, assisting them in accessing their inherent strengths, strengthening their resilience, and aligning their growth with their core values.

Her clinical approach is grounded by an integrative, health-promoting biopsychosocial model of care; personalising treatment plans to address the diverse needs of her clients. She integrates a variety of therapeutic paradigms such as Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Intentional Interviewing and Counseling, Art Psychotherapy, Group Art Therapy, Healing Trauma with Guided Imagery, and mindfulness-based compassion practices.

Her guiding principle in care is to empower individuals to rediscover themselves, assisting them to become experts in their own lives.

She believes that creativity and self-expression are key to creative living and managing neurodiversities without being bounded by any prescriptive intellectual shackles. She also believes in the practical benefits of a life spent contributing back to society, fully investing in cultivating compassion and humanity, to nurture and empower individuals to lead better lives holistically.
