Soolin Choi is a bilingual Korean-English counsellor based in Singapore. She supports individuals, couples, families, and young adults through life’s challenges and transitions. Clients value her grounded presence and thoughtful insight. Soolin fosters a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where clients can reflect and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Before becoming a therapist, Soolin spent over twenty years in business, entrepreneurship, and education. She held leadership roles in multinational companies, founded two businesses, and supported new ventures as an angel investor. This background gives her insight into the pressures professionals face, particularly those who appear successful but struggle with overwhelm, perfectionism, or relationship challenges. Her experience designing youth mentoring programs informs her work with adolescents and young adults navigating identity, academic stress, and direction.

Soolin has lived and worked in the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Korea. As part of an international marriage and a mother of two, she understands the emotional impact of relocation, cultural adjustment, and shifting identities. She works effectively with working professionals, expats, blended families, and those navigating cross-cultural relationships or major life changes. Fluent in Korean and English, Soolin brings cultural understanding and sensitivity to every session, ensuring clients feel truly understood.

Whether supporting couples, overwhelmed parents, or individuals facing burnout or loss, Soolin’s goal is to help clients feel grounded, empowered, and aligned with their goals. Her approach is collaborative, practical, and insight-driven. She works with clients to explore patterns, process difficult emotions, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

It was a huge difference in experience at New Leaf Counselling & Integrative Health! Fiona, Tyrel and their team were comprehensive, listening and professional making the entire session stress-free. Our specialised session with Santiago was amazing. Through his brain mapping assessment, we can understand how our daughter’s mind better. The results were both fascinating and affirming!

Every inch of the brain activities was explained clearly and we left the place with much materials for months of learning and exercising! Santiago’s professional counselling was so insightful and skilful. It provided a clear path by empowering us with good clean knowledge and we can see ourselves spending time to unlock areas of potential that we did not have to spend time guessing in the dark.Thank you, Fiona and Tyrel for your attention and support!

Jessica Woodruff

Jessica is a stellar nutritionist. I initially consulted her as I had blood sugar related issues, and after following her recommendations for 3 months, I saw a quantitative improvement in the latest health screening. Overall her advice worked out great for me.But what sets her apart from other professionals is her depth of knowledge, willingness to share and capacity to teach. Through her consultation, I didn’t just get tailored advice, but I learnt many nutrition principles. The implication is that I’m able to derive my own interventions and adjust them according to circumstance (e.g. when travelling) to live a healthier lifestyle. To me that’s the value of seeing a nutritionist, and Jessica has certain delivered. Highly recommended!
