You may be thinking, from what I know about existential therapy, it sounds negative, dark, heavy, pessimistic and/or depressing. I’m not sure if it will make| Encompassing Therapy & Counselling | Existential Therapy in Singapore and Asia
Hi, I'm Mag: a UKCP-accredited counselling psychologist and founder of Singapore’s first ever existential practice. My care philosophy is not to diagnose, label, or categorise but rather to work with the individual in front of me in the here and now. My clinical credentials certainly play a significant role in defining my professional identity. But to foster a deeper connection and authenticity, I invite you to discover my other “Selves”, the various facets of who I am.

When does something actually end? Is it when we stop showing up? When we stop talking? Or only when we realise—deep down—that it won’t begin again?

This post was originally published on Evelyn Lee’s Substack on March 4, 2025. I am taking a week off work to immerse myself in learning about group dynamics and group psychotherapy at a conference in San Francisco. I wanted to understand how people interact, how unspoken hierarchies emerge, and how inclusion and exclusion take shape. […]| Encompassing Therapy in Singapore
Recently, I faced one of the hardest moments of my life. My beloved dog, Guinness—the first baby girl of our family—was diagnosed with cancer. The photo above is the last one we took together. Hearing the news was devastating. I was shocked. Then came the painful realization: Our time together will now be heartbreakingly short. […]| Encompassing Therapy in Singapore
Many Singaporeans and I are compelled to recite a cultural script that prescribes a standard life trajectory: one pursues a university education, finds a job and a partner, marries, applies for government housing, has kids, and works till retirement. This script is not unique to Singapore, though, it manifests in forms idiosyncratic to Singapore’s culture. […]| Encompassing Therapy in Singapore
Are you ready for the lifelong waltz between discomfort and liberation? I recently started participating in Playback Theatre as a novice performer. In this form of improvisational theatre, the audience tells stories and watches them enacted on the spot, where most of the performance is spontaneous. As a general rule-of-thumb for the performers, we will […]| Encompassing Therapy in Singapore
What does it mean to be a friend, much less a good friend? Not that I’m not surrounded by good friends, but I’ve noticed my incapacity to be truly vulnerable with them, even the closest ones. It’s hard to reveal my inner concerns without being prompted first. In this sense, my unsatisfied cravings for intimacy […]| Encompassing Therapy in Singapore
