The Anchored Space – About Us - Psychology Private Practice

About Us

The Anchored Space was set up in 2021 in a humble and cozy space. Although we are fairly new as a private practice, we have over a decade of experience in this field.

We are intentional about our compact size to maintain the integrity of a private and personalised approach in offering our services to you. We are here to make mental health inclusive, accessible, and integrated with our modern experiences.

What's in Our Name?

The Anchored Space is about being held — and learning how to hold yourself.

The Space With You

The Anchored Space is first a space with you.

In therapy, your therapist offers a steady, grounding presence during times of emotional distress. This is a space where you don’t have to hold yourself together alone.

This is where you can explore difficult feelings, reconnect with who you are, and consider how you want to move forward in your life.

The Space Within You

Over time, therapy is also about helping you discover that this anchored space exists within you.

Through gentle, mindful attention — often beginning with the breath — you learn how to access a sense of steadiness and calm that you can return to, anytime and anywhere.

Our hope is that therapy does not just support you in the room, but equips you with an inner anchor you can carry into your everyday life.

Our Team

We understand the importance of finding the right therapist for you. That’s why we invite you to a complimentary pre-trial session. This is an opportunity for you to explore and see if our services align with your needs. There’s absolutely no pressure to commit to further sessions if you don’t feel it’s the a match. We look forward to creating a supportive and nurturing space for your well-being journey.

Hello, I'm Ms. Huang

My name is Zhang Jin. It’s hard to pronounce? Call me Ms Huang or ZJ (“zee jay”)! I have been working as a psychologist for more than 18 years and I love how Psychology has helped and is still helping me with my own emotional trauma. It is because of Psychology that I get to build a fulfilling relationship with myself, with the people I love, and experience a meaningful career. I am excited to help you uncover your psychological profile the way I have been uncovering for myself.

Ms Huang served as a psychologist across various settings (prisons, hospital, community) before she set up her own private practice.

With Singapore Prison Service, she worked with inmates on various issues (e.g., domestic violence, sexual violence) and personality disorders. She also provided suicide intervention training for prison officers.

In the hospital setting, Ms Huang worked with patients with various mental health difficulties (e.g., depression, anxiety, OCD). She was also the pioneer psychologist who set up psychological services for palliative patients and their loved ones to address end-of-life issues.

Passionate about serving the community, Ms Huang was the first senior clinical psychologist in Singapore to work directly with vulnerable adults when the Vulnerable Adults Act was passed in 2018. Her work involved helping those who have experienced trauma as a result of neglect and abuse.

Ms Huang is one of the first clinical psychologists to be certified in Emotion Focused Therapists (EFT) and fully trained in Somatic Experiencing (SE) in Singapore. She is also proficient in the following therapeutic approaches:

◆ Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

◆ Eye Movement and Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)

◆ Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

◆ Mindfulness

◆ Person-Centre Therapy (PCT)

◆ Schema Therapy (ST)

◆ Somatic Experiencing (SE)

Ms Huang teaches Psychology at Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) with the hope that there will be more well-trained psychologists for Singapore.

Hello, I'm Benedict.

I’m a strong believer that people have infinite potential to transform themselves and their lives. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for people to better understand themselves and tap on their strengths, resources and potential to be the best version of themselves and achieve their desired goals. Throughout my life, I’ve benefited from many people who have given me opportunities without which I won’t be where I am today, and I’m excited to pay it forward and help others do the same.
