Looking for a way out? How about a way through

To be human is to struggle. Sometimes we just need someone to help us find our way through.

About me

I’m Eunice Tan, a counsellor with a particular interest in working with adults who are dealing with trauma, grief and other emotional wounds.

I grew up in Singapore and lived in the UK for over a decade, where I read law at Oxford. I now live in Singapore.

I’ve worked in the not-for-profit, private and public sectors, but I came to realise that counselling is my passion. For me, there’s nothing more rewarding than helping a client become the person they know they can be.

My approach

I take a neuroscience- and trauma-informed approach to counselling, integrating elements of traditional modalities where appropriate, under the supervision and mentorship of psychotherapist Joachim Lee, PBM.

  • A judgment-free zone

    Whatever your identity, culture, spirituality, orientation or circumstances, my aim is to create a safe space for you.

  • No navel-gazing

    Insight into the past is only useful if it leads to change. What can we do now to become the person we want to be and create the life we want to live?

  • Self-regulation

    It’s hard to control our thoughts and feelings. But if we can calm our nervous system, our mind and heart will follow.

  • Short-term

    Long-term therapy is financially draining and can create dependency. Let’s get you back on track ASAP.

Multichannel Eye Movement Therapy (MEMI) & Brain-Switch 2.0

I specialise in Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI) and Brain-Switch 2.0 - gentle, brief and highly effective techniques based on neuroscience.

  • MEMI

    MEMI is particularly effective for acute (single incident) trauma or compulsive urges like addiction and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

    In brief, I will ask you to hold a visual in your mind, while your eyes follow my pen as I move it in various directions. Amazingly, such simple goal-directed eye movement has been shown to permanently reduce the vividness and emotional intensity of a memory or urge (see article 1; article 2).

  • Brain-Switch 2.0

    Brain-Switch 2.0 works well for complex and developmental trauma, grief, breakups, and self-esteem issues. It essentially involves visualisation exercises where you will discard negative memories, internal dialogue and emotions related to a particular issue, and focus instead on the person you want to be and the life you want to build. I have seen amazing transformations in my clients in just one session.

  • Quick & cost-effective

    Most trauma therapies require several sessions, which is why clients often drop out. MEMI and Brain-Switch 2.0 can give effective and lasting results in just one session.

  • Content-free

    Most trauma therapies require the client to recount the traumatic experience repeatedly, which can be very upsetting for the client and can even retraumatise them. In contrast, you do not need to give me details about what happened for MEMI and Brain-Switch 2.0 to be just as effective.

  • Gentle

    My clients generally find MEMI and Brain-Switch 2.0 relaxing. For some, it’s the first time in years that their mind has been quiet. I’ve even had some clients fall asleep during MEMI!

  • Reframe

    After MEMI or Brain-Switch 2.0, you will still have the memory of the experience, but you will no longer have an intense negative reaction when you recall it. It will simply be one of many memories in a rich and full life.

Referrals & giving back

  • Referrals

    I take referrals for one-off Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI) and Brain-Switch 2.0 from other therapists and professionals whose clients are feeling stuck.

    Since the issue is generally resolved within one session, the client can then return to their regular therapist to continue therapy. The client will generally be able to make much quicker progress once the underlying issue has been deactivated.

    If you’re a therapist and would like to experience MEMI or Brain-Switch 2.0 for yourself, I’d be happy to do a free demo with you.

  • Giving back

    As my way of giving back to the community, I also work with voluntary organisations to offer some free MEMI and Brain-Switch 2.0 sessions to their clients who are dealing with trauma and grief.

Please get in touch if you would like to refer a client or collaborate with me.
