Biography


Glenn holds a PhD in Psychology with specialisation in Creativity and Existential-Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapy and believes that creativity is an essential component in healing. His Master’s Degree in Psychology and his Bachelor of Arts in Human Development were an instrumental part of his early career when he focused on healing approaches for victims of human trafficking. This laid the foundation for a career focused on healing trauma and communities in crisis.


He also has a certificate in Intermediate Training in Ericksonian Psychotherapy and Hypnosis from the Milton H. Erickson Foundation, and a certificate in Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) from the EMDR Institute, Inc. He is an accredited facilitator for the FOCCUS marriage preparation and enrichment programme, and is a member of the Singapore Psychological Society. Glenn has been trained as a crisis responder by the National Organization for Victim Assistance.


For nearly two decades, Glenn has counselled Singaporean and expatriate individuals and families on a variety of issues, including post traumatic stress disorder, anger management, anxiety, stress, alcohol abuse, marital conflicts, cross cultural marital conflicts, divorce, sex compulsion, adolescents and their family, sexual abuse, ageing, body image, self esteem, and grief. Glenn also formerly lectured at the School of Positive Psychology in Singapore.


Glenn has contributed to books on the topic of creativity, suicide prevention, PTSD in combat victims and victims of sex trafficking, and has worked with these victims, introducing theories from art therapy, narrative therapy, Qigong meditation, dream-working and group work.


Glenn takes an integrative approach, utilising techniques from Behavioural, CBT, Adlerian, Existential, and Person Centered therapies. He also specialises in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) and can explain its effectiveness as a short-term approach with long term effects in resolving anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, low self esteem, and many other faulty belief systems.


Glenn completed the American Association of Sex Compulsion Therapy by President Dr. Douglas Weiss, PhD. This training included over 49 hours of training, followed by a test and 6 months of weekly supervision before being able to be certified as an AASAT Therapist. Glenn is one of the few experts in sex compulsion counseling in Singapore and trains all Counseling Perspective therapists in the skills it takes to help couples or individuals navigate in this difficult issue. He is the only Sex Compulsion Therapist certified with AASAT in Southeast Asia.


Glenn is also a CTI (Coaches Training Institute) trained life coach, Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, and a member of ICF (International Coaching Federation). He offers coaching support globally, effecting change in individuals as well as corporate communities through a creative and holistic wellness approach.
