  • .In 2022, the Straits Times described a process group in this article.

Facilitators

Dr. Jonathan Marshall (PhD Stanford; Post Doc Harvard)
I am very keen on the vividness, warmth, and authenticity that can arise through good group experiences. I have led and participanted in multiple authenticity groups. Previously, I was on faculty of the National University of Singapore, where I taught the psychology of leadership. I now work full-time in my private practice as a psychotherapist, executive coach, and leadership psychologist. My bachelor and doctoral degrees are in psychology, from Stanford; my post-doc was at Harvard. In this group, my job will primarily be to keep us on the task of looking at the dynamics in the room. (For more information, click here.)

Dr Richard Lim (PsyD Professional School of Psychology; MSSc University of South Australia)
My work is centered on nurturing relationship wellbeing and self-understanding through group therapy. I foster a space where communication, emotional intimacy, and self-care are not just taught but deeply felt and experienced. In our group sessions, we co-create a safe and inclusive environment, encouraging every participant to share, grow, and discover their path to authentic wellness together. My commitment is to walk with you, offering insights and support as we navigate the complexities of relationships and personal development in a group setting.
