Megan Chia, MSc, PGDip, GMBPsS
Megan is an Associate Psychologist based in Singapore, having recently returned from the United Kingdom, where she practised as a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Practitioner. Having lived and worked in London for the past seven years, she has worked extensively with children, adolescents, and families from a wide range of cultural, ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Supporting London's diverse international population has given her insight into the ways culture, identity, migration, family systems, and lived experiences can shape emotional wellbeing and mental health.
Megan worked as a CBT therapist within London Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), supporting young people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, emotional dysregulation, school avoidance, self-harm, neurodevelopmental differences, and challenges within family relationships. Her clinical experience also includes specialist adolescent inpatient services, crisis intervention, behavioural therapy, and private practice. Alongside her therapeutic work, Megan is an Autism and ADHD Consultant with The Nook Clinic in London, where she conducts comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments and contributes to diagnostic reports for children, adolescents, and adults. Prior to moving to the UK, she worked as a Special Education Teacher at St. Andrew's Autism School in Singapore, supporting autistic children with complex communication and learning needs.
Megan works in a pluralistic and integrative way, drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative approaches, and attachment-informed thinking. At the heart of her practice is a relational and emotionally attuned approach. She believes that emotional difficulties often make sense when understood within the context of a person's experiences, relationships, family dynamics, culture, and environment. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, Megan aims to help young people develop a deeper understanding of themselves, build on their strengths, and create meaningful and lasting change. She is particularly passionate about creating a therapeutic space where children, adolescents, and families feel safe, understood, and empowered.
Megan holds a Master's degree in Child and Adolescent Mental Health from King's College London, where she was awarded the Michael Rutter Prize. She completed postgraduate Children and Young People's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP-IAPT) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training through University College London and the Anna Freud Centre, with specialist training in adapting CBT interventions for children and young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and learning disabilities. She subsequently practised as a CBT therapist within London CAMHS services.
She is currently completing her training as a Clinical Psychologist at the National University of Singapore (NUS), further advancing her expertise in psychological assessment, intervention, and research as she works towards registration as a Clinical Psychologist in Singapore. Her interest in trauma-informed care has also led to her presenting research at the EMDR UK Conference 2024 in York.
