About Cassandra Chiu
I’m Cassandra Chiu, a Registered Counsellor with the Singapore Association for Counselling, with over 15 years’ experience supporting individuals and couples through relationship difficulties, emotional challenges and the pressures of demanding lives.
I hold a Master of Social Science in Professional Counselling from Swinburne University of Technology. My further qualifications include Master Solution-Focused Practitioner and Certified Solution Focused Practitioner in Therapy. I have also completed Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 and Level 2 training. View my qualifications and training.
Who I Work With
Many of my clients are used to carrying responsibility, making difficult decisions and being someone others depend on. They may appear capable and composed while privately struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship conflict or exhaustion.
You do not need a particular job title to work with me. What matters is having space to address your concerns and a willingness to take an active part in the work.
My work draws on the Gottman Method, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I help you understand recurring patterns, identify what needs to change and take practical steps towards your goals. You can expect warmth, honest feedback and clear guidance, with progress reviewed together throughout our work.
Alongside my clinical training, I have completed leadership programmes at Harvard Kennedy School, Oxford’s Saïd Business School and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. My experience leading an organisation also informs my understanding of responsibility, competing demands and the pressure to keep functioning when personal life becomes difficult.
Whether you are coming on your own or as a couple, you do not need to arrive with everything neatly explained. We will make sense of what is happening and establish a clear direction together.

Why This Work Matters to Me
My own experiences have shaped my respect for how difficult it can be to ask for help. I value independence, dignity and the opportunity to speak honestly without being reduced to a problem. Alongside my counselling practice, I advocate for disability inclusion and equal opportunities.
If you are ready to address what is troubling you, we can begin by understanding your concerns and identifying an appropriate way forward.
What To Expect
You do not need to arrive knowing exactly what to say. I guide the conversation, help you identify priorities and work with you on practical next steps.
