Existential Therapy in Singapore, Asia and Online

Be unapologetically you and belong.

It’s easier said than done – especially as Asian women. But you already have the answers you seek. Even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Face Life’s Biggest Questions Head-On

Encompassing Therapy supports you in creating freedom, true belonging and meaning through the different seasons of your life.

Founded by Dr. Magdalen Cheng (Dr. Mag), Encompassing Therapy is Singapore’s first independent practice specialising in Existential Therapy.

Unlike other therapy options that may focus on diagnosing symptoms or changing behaviours, Existential Therapy is grounded in, well, Existentialism. But rest assured we won’t spend sessions discussing philosophy. And no prior knowledge of the field is required.

We’ll work together to confront existential questions that may leave you feeling stuck and lost. Questions like: what is the meaning of my life?

It might sound like A LOT, but the practice is really where the magic is.

Meet Your Guide: Dr. Mag

Being Asian and raised in a community-focused culture, the idea of staying true to myself and my dreams often seemed contradictory.

It might sound dramatic but the start of Mulan, where she struggled to fit in to honour her family, stayed with me in my younger days.

I struggled with authenticity until I came across existential therapy through my clinical training in 2012.

It changed how I saw my Self and the world around me and helped me to express myself honestly – which was incredibly freeing. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without Existential Therapy.

Based in Singapore, I see so many women wrestling the same issues I once did.

As a British Psychological Society (BPS)-accredited counselling psychologist with a Doctorate in Existential Psychology, I am committed to sharing the transformative powers of Existential Therapy with you.
