Director of Clinical Operations
–
Clinical Mental Health Therapist, Applied Neuroplasticity Trainer & Clinical Hypnotherapist
Estee is a certified and registered Clinical Mental Health Therapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Integrative Applied Neuroplasticity Therapist and Trainer, and Suicide Awareness Advocate. As Co-founder and Director of Clinical Operations at Sol Therapy, she brings together clinical depth and operational leadership to shape the practice’s vision, ethical standards, and long-term sustainability. Trained across Singapore, Australia, the U.K., and the U.S., her work is rooted in ethical, person-centred, trauma-informed, and human-informed care, with a focus on building integrative pathways that honour both clinical rigour and lived human experience.
At this stage of her work, Estee supports clients primarily through neuroplasticity-based brain retraining programmes at Sol Therapy, while dedicating much of her time to developing and refining integrative frameworks that bridge cognitive, emotional, and somatic dimensions of healing. Alongside her clinical work, she remains deeply committed to expanding access to integrative therapy and supporting practitioners in offering care that is both well-informed and deeply humane.
As a multi-disciplinarian, Estee has worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life circumstances. Her clinical approach is shaped not only by formal training, but also by years of embodied lived experiences through profound grief, chronic stress and burnout, mental health crises, acute trauma, C-PTSD, chronic pain, diagnosed chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia. These experiences have cultivated a depth of compassion and attunement, allowing her to meet complexity with steadiness, nuance, and respect. Guided by a deep belief in the innate capacity for growth within every individual, she has pursued extensive training across evidence-based, holistic, and integrative approaches.
Estee draws from a broad range of clinical and therapeutic foundations, including Existential Psychotherapy, Relational Trauma-Informed Care, Counselling and Positive Psychology, Solution-Focused, Clinical and Eriksonian Hypnotherapy, Integrative Somatic Psychology, Neuro-Psychotherapy, Applied Neuroplasticity, and Neuroscience-informed Brain Retraining System. Rather than working from a single lens, she weaves these perspectives thoughtfully to support self-agency, inner coherence, and a deeper sense of alignment and belonging within oneself.
She is a member of various recognised professional bodies and works in alignment with ethical and professional standards upheld. Her professional memberships and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (NCIP-UK), International Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (ICIP), International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), International Hypnosis Association (IHA), Cognitive Neuroscience Society, British Neuroscience Association (BNA), and the The International Association of Counsellors and Therapists (IACT). These affiliations reflect her ongoing commitment to clinical integrity, interdisciplinary learning, and continued professional development across psychotherapy, counselling, hypnotherapy, neuroscience, and pain-science.
In the work that she does, Estee holds a strong conviction that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing, and that meaningful change emerges when care is integrative and aligned with what feels most resonant and empowering for each individual. She recognises the importance of integrative care – weaving cognitive, emotional, relational, and somatic dimensions of care in ways that honour both clinical understanding and lived human experience. Through her work, Estee continues to support trauma and suicide awareness, while contributing to more open, humane, and compassionate conversations around therapy and emotional wellbeing. She believes deeply in creating spaces where people are allowed to be human as they navigate life as it unfolds. At the heart of her work is a commitment to meeting human experience with care, and a deep appreciation for the courage and resilience of the human spirit.
Estee is no longer taking on general therapy clients and now offers sessions only on a case-by-case basis. She currently supports clients primarily through Sol Therapy’s neuroplasticity-based brain retraining programmes. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like guidance on resources or practitioners who may be a good fit. Thank you for your kind understanding.
