About Me
Davinder Gill, Clinical Psychologist
BSc (Hon) in Psychology, MPsych (Clinical)
I am registered with the Psychology Board of Australia (AHPRA) and Singapore Register of Psychologists (SRP). I have worked as a psychologist for over 18 years with clients in various settings – forensic, community mental health and private practice. I have also taught and supervised students in the Master of Psychology (Clinical) program at James Cook University, Singapore.
As my practice has developed, I have increasingly been drawn to working in a more holistic manner, incorporating the mind and body into a whole of person intervention. I encourage my clients to explore the areas in which they feel stuck – for example, feeling stuck in certain emotional states, in certain habits or patterns.
I work collaboratively with clients on exploring how these processes are impacting their mental and physical health and use evidence-based approaches to support them. I empower my clients to live a fulfilling and meaningful life, guiding them to tap into their innate inner resources to build resilience and capacity to face challenges.
I have divided my time between Singapore and Australia over the past 20 years. I am now permanently settled in Sydney, Australia. I am a mum of two. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the beach, playing the ukulele, nature walks, yoga and movie nights with my family.
My Approach
I primarily use the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) with my clients to deepen their understanding and connection to themselves. I am a Level 2 Certified NARM therapist and pursuing Level 3 Masters training this year.
NARM addresses the long-term impact of attachment misattunement, adverse childhood experiences and developmental or complex trauma. This therapeutic approach creates a safe and exploratory space to address and navigate challenges faced in the present that are being influenced by unresolved emotional pain from the past.
Using this approach, I support my clients towards more connection, greater well-being and more capacity.
To support this work and in considering each client’s unique experiences and needs, I also draw from other approaches, namely, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy and Mindfulness & Compassion Focused Therapy.
