1-1 THERAPY | WORKSHOPS | TRAINING | COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS
Coherence Psychotherapy is founded by Jolene Chiang - an experienced Clinical Psychotherapist and Trainer with more than 15 years of experience in the international community development sector.
Jolene works part-time at a psychiatric hospital in Singapore, attending to clients living with mental health conditions due to adverse childhood experiences and traumatic encounters.
She maintains a private practice offering therapy and training workshops. Coherence Psychotherapy is established upon the premise of providing high-quality service offerings to individuals and organisations.
With qualified training and certifications, she has uniquely combined clinical psychology, neuro-based science and the power of creativity. Her training workshops and therapy orientation intersects in this balanced, all-rounded approach that meets the needs of different individuals and organisational development goals.
Most therapy focuses on talking about what happened in the past.
Whilst this may be helpful, it does not create lasting sustained change from within.
With Neuro-Art Therapy, where science meets creative self, experience for yourself the power of transformation from within. You do not need to re-hash the event or spend years in therapy.
Neuro-science has shown that trauma does not just live in the mind, it lives in the brain and body. This is not about changing mindsets, or introducing more coping strategies. Instead, it is based on the premise that the brain has the power to prune, re-wire and create new neural pathways that are adaptive and joyful.
Her therapeutic toolbox is holistic and integrated, based on latest developments in neuro-based and psyschological research.
Adapting Art Psychotherapy, Brain Switch 2.0 , and MEMI (Multichannel Eye Movement Integration), where needed — experience for yourself a unique blended approach of releasing pain — without re-living the full intensity of the past.
Healing does not mean forgetting the past or pretending it never happened.
We need to help the nervous system feel safe, and tap on the neuro-plasticity of the brain to create a new truth that opens up possibilities and meaning, despite the suffering that happened.
Whether you are experiencing grief, loss, transitions and mental health struggles, your brain has the ability to free themselves from feeling stuck and helpless.
Our Therapy Approach
Did you know that your brain can update old emotional memories?
Instead of ventilating - which is not always healing - your brain can unlearn pain.
Integrating psychological, neuro-based theories and creative approaches, Jolene’s clinical practice is rooted in a ‘bottom-up’ approach.
In a ‘top-down approach’, therapy is focused on talking about what happened in the past, followed by trying to make sense of what happened. This can be useful, but talk alone cannot access the trauma stored in this region of the brain.
Whereas, in a ‘bottom-up’ approach, we primarily work with creating safety for the nervous system through felt-senses, guided visualisation, somatic awareness, and then make meaning from these experiences.
There is no ‘better’ or ‘worst’ approach, but I believe in an integrative practice that utilises both ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ models elegantly and aptly,
instead of solely relying on one approach.
