Meet our Therapist
Fecha has worked with children and families in a variety of settings in the community, including private practice, private agencies, not-for-profit organisations such as the Singapore Association for the deaf, Canossaville Children’s Home, club rainbow organization, which caters to children with major chronic and life-threatening health issues.
Fecha's clinical strengths lie in working with very young children, children with special educational needs, and young adults. Her areas of expertise include play therapy, activity therapy, and therapeutic parenting. She also specialises in helping children and families heal from trauma.
Fecha has often seen first-hand how all behaviour is communicated and children are often unable to verbalise their experiences and strong emotions in the same way that they can express them through play. Learning how to speak their language, the language of play can provide access into a child’s world which is often left silent.

Experience
Fecha has extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, and families across a diverse range of community and clinical settings, including private practice, specialist therapy agencies, and not-for-profit organisations such as the Singapore Association for the Deaf, Canossaville Children's Home, and Club Rainbow, which supports children living with chronic and life-threatening illnesses. Throughout her career, she has worked with children aged 4 to 16 experiencing anxiety, autism, ADHD, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, grief, behavioural challenges, and family transitions.
Drawing on a child-centred, evidence-based approach, Fecha combines her clinical expertise with genuine compassion to help children feel safe, understood, and empowered. She has a particular passion for supporting neurodivergent children and believes that every behaviour communicates an underlying need. By working closely with parents, schools, and other professionals, Fecha creates an integrated support system that helps children build emotional resilience, strengthen relationships, and develop the confidence and skills to thrive both at home and beyond the therapy room.
Specializations
Fecha supports children and adolescents experiencing a wide range of emotional, behavioural, developmental, and social challenges. Her areas of specialisation include anxiety, emotional regulation, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), trauma, grief and loss, low self-esteem, school-related difficulties, and behavioural challenges. She also works with children navigating family transitions such as divorce, separation, relocation, or the arrival of a new sibling, helping them process change in a healthy and supportive way.
Using evidence-based play therapy tailored to each child's individual needs, Fecha helps children develop emotional resilience, strengthen their confidence, improve social and communication skills, and build healthier ways of coping with life's challenges. She is particularly passionate about supporting neurodivergent children and empowering families with practical strategies that foster connection, understanding, and long-term emotional wellbeing.
Approach
Every child experiences the world differently, which is why therapy should never follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Fecha creates a warm, safe, and accepting environment where children are free to express themselves in the way that feels most natural to them, through play. By carefully observing each child's unique way of communicating, she tailors every session to meet their individual emotional, developmental, and therapeutic needs. Working collaboratively with parents and caregivers, Fecha aims to understand not only the child, but also the wider family context, ensuring that meaningful progress extends beyond the therapy room.
Values
At the heart of Fecha's practice is the belief that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood. She approaches each family with compassion, curiosity, and respect, recognising that behaviour is often a form of communication rather than something to be corrected. Her work is grounded in evidence-based practice, while always honouring the unique personality, strengths, and experiences of each child. By fostering trust, emotional safety, and genuine connection, Fecha helps children build resilience, confidence, and the skills they need to thrive both now and in the future.
