Singapore Psychological Society would like to introduce Dr Cynthia Yeo as the chairperson for our SIGs.
Cynthia currently practises both as a clinical psychologist and an educational psychologist in the private sector. Besides having worked in private practices, she had working experiences in the social sector as well. She graduated with a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology from James Cook University, and obtained her Master of Arts in Applied Psychology (Educational Psychology) from the National Institute of Education (Singapore). She had earlier pursued a Master in Guidance and Counselling with James Cook University as well. In her current clinical practice, Cynthia works with a wide range of clinical issues and populations, ranging from children, adolescents, to adults.
A Message from Cynthia, SIG Chairperson:
Welcome to the SPS Special Interest Group (SIG) page!
Here you will find the various special interest groups and their activities under the SPS. It is part of the “lifeline” of the Society where the different SIGs support the professional growth of their members as well as growing together as a professional body. In view of achieving this goal, the SIGs frequently organise activities, such as professional networking events to get to know their members, peer supervision events to grow together professionally and to align practices amongst practitioners, public events to promote relevant psychological knowledge to the public and community, and occasionally closed eventswhen the SIG feels the needs to address sensitive topics amongst its members.
So come and be part of a SIG today and let’s grow together PROFESSIONALLY and as a PROFESSIONAL BODY! Do find time to browse the various SIGs and see which one(s) interest you (however, please read their “Member eligibility criteria” too). See you at the SIG events!
