Lee Sing Ping

Sing Ping is the founder of Metta Therapeutic Healing, where she offers counselling, relationship education, and energy healing to individuals, couples and groups through in-person and online sessions. She is a registered practitioner with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).

Besides holding a master’s degree in counselling, Sing Ping is an accredited group facilitator with the Australian Childhood Foundation, and a certified Akashic Healer.

Prior to retraining as a therapist, Sing Ping was a data scientist and analytics consultant across the banking, telecommunications and professional services sector in Singapore and Australia.

While bereavement redirected her back to the path of becoming a therapist, a health episode initiated and subsequently shaped the holistic approach Sing Ping now offers to clients – through physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing.

In her therapist toolkit, one will find a special mix of counselling modalities, practical spirituality, intuitive wisdom and energy work. She is guided by the principles and knowledge of attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, emotionally focused couples therapy, family therapy, group therapy, systemic constellations, anthroposophy, and the Akashic Records.

What was your path to becoming a therapist?

It was a detour that lasted for more than a decade, and I finally am back to where I wanted to be. The roundabout way came with mind-bending mental gymnastics, where I had to face my circumstances, relationships and selfhood with what felt like extreme sports for the heart and soul. Yet these thresholds in life turned out to be gifts that shaped the breadth and depth of my therapeutic toolkit, healing presence and lived experience which I now draw upon as a therapist.

What do you do to continue learning and building competencies as a provider?

Participating in clinical supervision, keeping up-to-date with professional development courses in various counselling modalities, and continuing independent learning in anthroposophy, biography work and energy healing practices.

What should someone know about working with you?

Clients are free to choose the parts of themselves that they wish to heal or grow, or allow themselves to be guided by my recommendation. As your therapist, my role is to attend to the parts of yourself that need to be healed or transformed. In addition to wearing the therapist's hat, clients can expect the teacher in me to appear occasionally with mini take-home-assignments, or offer thought-provoking questions that encourage you to explore the depths of your soul. While I believe in co-creating with clients during sessions, ultimately clients hold the decision to embody and materialize the growth and transformation they want in their lives.

How do your own core values shape your approach to therapy?

I'd say courage tops the list for me. To quote Brené Brown: "Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light." "Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen." I have experienced therapy from the seat of a client's couch and the therapist's chair. As such, I appreciate the importance of doing my own inner work fearlessly, so that in my capacity as a therapist, I could meet the parts and stories of another person - that makes one human - with empathy, compassion and understanding.
