Profile

Valerie is a Singapore-registered Educational Psychologist and has been practicing since 2008. She specialises in psycho-educational assessments and interventions with children and young persons aged 18 months to 18 years, helping parents understand their children's development and learning needs. She provides confidential, individually-tailored consultations for both local and international clients.

​

Valerie was an Educational Psychologist in hospitals and community settings prior to establishing Insight Psychological Services in 2016. She set up her own practice after determining there was a real need to provide assessments and interventions in naturalistic settings to obtain authentic child responses, generalise skills and have meaningful conversations about things that matter.

​

She is skilled in conducting a wide range of psycho-educational assessments, such as the administration of cognitive, academic, language, social-communication, behavioural, and adaptive skills assessments. She also provides evidence-based interventions for children in school and at home, customised to fit the needs of the individual and the family, with special interests in high-functioning autism, anxiety and selective mutism. 

​

Valerie is an Approved Supervisor for the training of psychologists and has overseen psychologists and researchers from organisations such as A*Star and the Ministry of Education. She also lectures at tertiary institutions and trains other professionals including Early Childhood Educators, Early Intervention Teachers and Allied Educators in special needs support.
