Hi, I am Dominica. Thank you for dropping by, here is a little about me:

I started counselling as a mentor for youths-at-risk and their families with histories of abuse and neglect since 2013. I have experiences working with individuals, couples and families from all walks of life in the healthcare, social services and education sectors. My journey into somatic work started in 2017 through Tension/Trauma Release Exercises (TRE), where I conducted regular TRE group sessions for cancer patients and their caregivers.  

As a body-oriented psychotherapist, I have a personal interest in supporting individuals with C-PTSD, exploring themes on attachment and relational bonding and wounding. I also have deep interests in journeying with individuals who suffer from psycho-somatic symptoms (i.e: migraine, sleeplessness, chronic pain, etc), anxiety, depression and mood dysregulation caused by shocked or developmental traumas. I have also supported individuals who are journeying through grief (i.e: losses, divorce, transitions) and experiencing difficulties in their work, relationships and health.

Professionally, I have a Master of Social Science in Counselling and I am a Registered Clinical Member with the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC). I am also an active clinical & somatic member of the US Association of Body Psychotherapy (USABP). I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), a Certified TRE provider and an EMDR practitioner. Outside of clinical work, I assist in Somatic Experiencing trainings locally and internationally; I am an approved assistant to offer personal sessions at all levels and beginning level consult. I am also a NeuroAffective Touch (NATouch) Foundation Graduate and have completed a Professional Certificate in Sexuality Education. Currently, I am pursuing training in Bodynamics (Foundation).
