About

Eulisia works with neurotypical children and those with special needs from 18 months to 65 years of age and across a spectrum of presentations. She has extensive experience in conducting assessments, behaviour management support and psychological interventions to individuals with special educational and developmental needs. She also has a keen interest in early intervention, home-school partnership and parenting.

Eulisia has previously worked at Early Intervention Programmes for Infants and Children (EIPIC) Centres, Special Schools, and numerous private clinics. She was also a Locum Educational Psychologist with the
Ministry of Education (MOE) and Dyslexia Association of Singapore (DAS).

Eulisia believes that early intervention is the key to helping children develop and adapt to the society as best as they can. It gives her great satisfaction to know that she has played a role in helping the children progress in their lives. In 2012, Eulisia was also one of the first psychologists to be involved in the implementation of a Transdisciplinary framework at a government-funded EIPIC Centre.

Apart from individual sessions with children, Eulisia believes that parenting and a strong partnership between teachers, parents and their psychologists is critical to the optimal development of children. In the past decade, Eulisia has equipped parents, caregivers and teachers with knowledge and strategies to better understand and manage their children’s developmental needs. She has helped numerous parents and teachers understand the significance of building healthy relationships with their children as a basis for positive behavioural changes and skills acquisition.

For her research in parental involvement, Eulisia won several awards (Best Research, Best Writing and Best Oral Presentation) in the 2017 Singapore Psychological Society Student Research Awards. She has actively participated and presented her research on family functioning, social skills and parent-child interventions in key conferences in Greece, Japan, USA, UK and Singapore.

In 2016, Eulisia received the NCSS SkillsFuture Study Award for Social Service Sector.In addition, Eulisia is an Assisted Deputyship Application Programme (ADAP) Supervisor for mental capacity assessments. ADAP helps parents of graduating cohorts in Special Education (SPED) schools apply to Court to be deputies for their child, so that they can continue to make legal decisions for their child after he or she turns 21. She is also a Certified Substance Abuse Therapist (CSAT), certified by the Asia Pacific Certification Board (APCB).

Beyond her current job scope, Eulisia holds concurrent appointments in the public sector; she volunteers in Singapore Psychological Society’s Research Committee as its deputy chair.
