Biography

Fiona, an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, has over twenty years of international experience in Ireland, Singapore, Germany, China, the United Kingdom, and beyond. As the Director of New Leaf Counselling and Integrative Health, she is a strong advocate for the transformative impact of holistic healthcare that addresses all aspects of mental and physical well-being.

Fiona’s long-time clients have consulted her for support and guidance through several chapters of their lives, particularly those who have experienced significant life transitions or relocations that come with a sense of “culture shock.” They continue working with her because of her empathetic, constructive, and deeply invested approach to counselling. Through her work with her clients, she has learned what is truly possible for them, whether they face challenges at work or struggle in their romantic relationships.

Fiona’s guiding motto, both in her client work and her personal life, is “This too shall pass.” She does not use this phrase to diminish the challenges we face or the pain we feel but to acknowledge that life is a series of seasons, each with its own unique blend of ease and challenge, flow and turbulence, elation and despair. The key to flourishing is learning to accept and live in harmony with life’s passing seasons.

New Leaf Counselling in Singapore pioneers an integrative, bespoke pursuit of holistic wellness through various forms of therapeutic support, evidence-backed interventions, and lifestyle-focused coaching to ensure all elements of a client’s healing journey are aligned in service of their best self. We combine the highest levels of professional support, proven scientific techniques, and day-to-day habit formation and lifestyle tweaks to help our clients thrive, no matter their circumstances.

Fiona at New Leaf Counselling has helped me understand myself better than I ever thought was possible. After many failed attempts at various types of therapy over the years, I never thought I’d find someone so insightful and skilful in helping guide me through my mental health challenges. I truly see myself becoming a stronger and more resilient person with every session that goes by. Thank you Fiona! Your support is invaluable.

Hear How We've Made a Difference

I was looking for an EMDR therapy place and this was the only one I found online. I did both talk therapy and EMDR for around 1-2 years with Fiona. The rates are on the steep side but it was worth it. Fiona is really lovely and experienced and both talk therapy and EMDR helped me a lot. I always felt emotionally safe during the sessions and I really loved that I learnt a lot about myself, I have more tools to deal with things and I learnt how to put things in perspective. I'm a different person than when I first started. I really recommend this place for both talk therapy or EMDR and I'm very grateful for my time here.

Great service. Would recommend to anyone needing sympathetic, flexible and a final support. Fiona is pragmatic, kind but also direct in getting to the issues at heart.

Highly recommend this service! I have done various different type of therapy over the years but never experienced EMDR before. I honestly say it has worked wonders and succeed where other therapies have not. Fiona was very patient and encouraging which made my journey even better. Unlike at the end of other therapy sessions, I believe I have learnt skills for the longer term and resolved issues I never thought I would before. Thank you Fiona!

I have been seeing Fiona O'Sullivan for more than a year and I must say she has been instrumental in helping me heal from going through a difficult and life changing event. Without her steadfastness, genuine empathy and professional hand in steering, I wouldn't be able to now stand at the end of rainbow after braving a storm. When you speak to Fiona, she puts you so much at ease. Essentially, a safe space to be vulnerable in exploring, expressing, nailing down & acknowledging your emotions without judgement. She works through your thought process with you and gently takes you through professional techniques & viewpoints to broaden your perspectives. In the end, she has given me the tools to unlock my triggers and eventually find my authentic self, which is grounded in accessing & being kind to the parts making up each of our own internal family system.

Fiona was very professional and friendly. She provided a safe environment and a structured process for counselling that I found to be both effective and comforting. I'd recommend her services to anyone!
