Leveraging over 20 years of clinical expertise in Hong Kong and Singapore

An accomplished clinical psychologist, Mabel Yum holds dual registration as a psychologist in both Hong Kong and Singapore, with extensive experience across diverse mental health settings. She holds a particular interest in mood disorders, anxiety disorders, insomnia, stress management and relaxation therapy, psychosis, weight management, and the cultivation of mental wellness and resilience.

Championing mental health through comprehensive care and specialised programs

As the previous Head of Psychology and lead psychologist for the Weight Management program at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Mabel has been instrumental in providing psychological consultation for individuals with a range of emotional, psychological as well as medical conditions.

While she has a vast amount of clinical experience in delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), she also adopts other evidence-based therapeutic interventions.
