About

Shereen NG

Provisional Clinical Member (Singapore Association for Counselling) | Masters of Arts in Counselling (TCA College)

I support youths and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges and major life transitions.

I’m a Singapore Association for Counselling Provisional Clinical Member with a Master of Arts in Counselling from TCA College. My work is grounded in a simple belief: transitions are not merely disruptions to fear—they can also be invitations to grow.

Before founding Thriving New Mama, I spent eight years supporting individuals and families through significant seasons of change.

In nursing-home and palliative-care settings, I support older adults and their families navigate ageing, illness, grief and loss through through designing and facilitating programmes with volunteers and key partners such as the Agency for Integrated Care and Esplanade – Theatres by the Bay. I also developed intergenerational programmes that enabled children, youths and young adults to connect meaningfully with seniors.

Those experiences taught me that good care goes beyond physical and medical needs. Our emotions, relationships, identities, cultures and sense of meaning matter too.

👶 Why I created Thriving New Mama

Becoming a mother brought that understanding closer to home.

I know what it is like to carry the invisible mental load, juggle endless tabs in your mind and try to show up both at work and at home—while wondering, Is this what motherhood is supposed to feel like?

That experience inspired Thriving New Mama: a resource platform created specifically to help thoughtful, high-functioning mothers feel seen, supported and strengthened during the early years of motherhood.

While the platform offers motherhood-specific resources, my counselling practice supports a broader range of youths and adults.

🌿 My counselling approach

I work from a person-centred, strengths-based and whole-person perspective, informed by a family-systems lens. My additional training includes nervous-system and emotional regulation, spiritual care, and meaning-making.

Where appropriate, I integrate evidence-based tools, somatic practices and expressive approaches. I value each client’s story, culture, relationships and existing strengths.

I support clients to:

  • Understand and regulate difficult emotions
  • Navigate grief, uncertainty and major transitions
  • Strengthen communication and relationships
  • Make decisions aligned with their values
  • Recognise their resilience and build upon their strengths

I see counselling as a process of growth. You are the seed; my role is to create a safe, nurturing space in which you can take root and flourish.

How we can work together:

🌼 Individual counselling for youths and adults
🌼 Psychoeducational talks and workshops
🌼 Mental-health and wellbeing projects
