My Story

A Doctoral-level Clinical Psychologist Here to Guide You

Dr. Roy recently returned to Singapore after 6 years of working with the local and expatriate community in private practice in Hong Kong. He obtained his Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and his Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, and his Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Psychology from the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. A Doctorate in Clinical Psychology is not a medical or dental qualification. Dr. Roy works with individuals and professionals on love, sex and relationships, anger, and intense emotions. While also trained in CBT and family therapy, he prefers to adopt a psychodynamic orientation towards individual and group therapy. He helps individuals understand how their underlying thoughts and relational patterns hold influence over their current situation, with the aim of guiding them back to balanced mental states. Ever comfortable with working with different cultures, he taught himself Cantonese to a level that allows him to conduct therapy in the language whilst in Hong Kong. 

​

Dr. Roy is a UK registered Clinical Psychologist (HCPC), a member of the American Psychological Association, the Singapore Psychological Society and a registered clinical psychologist with the Hong Kong Association of Doctors in Clinical Psychology. To give back to the community, Dr. Roy volunteers mental health support to different charities, schools and social welfare groups.

Dr. Roy is a regular speaker on psychoeducation, emotional regulation, conflict management and mental well being at various schools and corporations. Topics that he has provided psychoeducation on include understanding procrastination, the causes of intergenerational conflict, and reasons behind the loss of motivation. He has spoken at Goldman Sachs, AXA, Deloitte, Macquarie and Dentsu. He started his career as an autism therapist at a special needs school in Singapore and worked with the ASD population for the past 8 years. His doctoral dissertation titled the Cultural Narratives Behind Parental Choice of Treatment for their Child with ASD was presented at the 2019 Asia Pacific Autism Conference. He is available for speaking engagements; consultation; child, adolescent, family and adult psychotherapy; and training in English and Cantonese.
