Winnie Tan

Winnie is a Psychotherapist-in-Training who has completed her formal academic training and is currently undertaking her practicum placement. She completed her Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling at The School of Positive Psychology, where she attained high distinctions in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, trauma-aware approaches, family and marital counselling, group counselling, and psychotherapy ethics within multicultural contexts.

Before entering the therapeutic field, Winnie built a distinguished career across healthcare, public health, and education. She has worked extensively within Singapore’s healthcare system, including appointments at the Ministry of Health and KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital. Her roles involved patient safety initiatives, clinical research, and public health risk assessment. These experiences have shaped her understanding of how psychological wellbeing intersects with physical health, family systems, and larger institutional environments.

In her clinical work, Winnie supports adults through a collaborative and structured process that remains compassionate and grounded. She believes therapy can offer both reflection and practical direction — supporting insight while also equipping clients with tools that can be meaningfully applied in daily life. Her approach is primarily informed by CBT and solution-focused frameworks, held with sensitivity to trauma, relational patterns, and cultural context. She is intentional about creating a space where clients can move at a pace that feels manageable, without pressure or expectation.

Winnie has a particular interest in working with stress, burnout, life transitions, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and relationship concerns. As a mother of three, including a child on the autism spectrum, she brings lived understanding to conversations around caregiving stress, shifting identities, and balancing multiple responsibilities — while maintaining clear professional boundaries within the therapeutic relationship.

Alongside her clinical training, Winnie is an experienced educator and associate lecturer. She is skilled at explaining complex ideas clearly and thoughtfully, integrating scientific understanding with emotional insight. Clients often appreciate her calm presence, reflective clarity, and grounded way of working. She is also a dedicated yoga practitioner and values self-awareness and embodied connection as part of overall psychological wellbeing.

Winnie currently sees clients under practicum placement at Sol Therapy. Her clinical work is supported through formal clinical supervision and duty of care provided by her training institution, alongside ongoing clinical oversight and governance within Sol Therapy’s supervisory framework. Her practice reflects Sol Therapy’s integrative and relational ethos—holding psychological understanding and human experience with care, steadiness, and thoughtful attention.
