Bloom Child Psychology

We're grateful for the opportunity to be invited as an organisational partner at the Career and Internship Fair 2024 hosted by SPS Youth Wing and NTU! A huge thanks to the organizers for bringing together an event dedicated to helping psychology students explore their career options in our field! We were thrilled to have met so many passionate young minds who are eager to make a difference in psychology and mental health! 🧠✨

Thanks to Berkeley Club of Singapore for the invitation! Dr Yang shared about her work at Bloom and Uncommon Minds, and how the neurodiversity paradigm has influenced psychological practice. Let's continue to spread kindness and acceptance for our neurodivergent children and teens!

Today, we feature Samantha Soh, our educational psychologist at Bloom.
Samantha provides psycho-educational assessments and appropriate intervention support for students, so that children and their parents can better understand their needs and strengths. The students she sees have needs in one or more domains such as learning, language and literacy development, social emotional management, social and functional communication, attention, and daily living skills. With her strong background in support for children with autism and prior experience as an Educational Psychologist at MOE, she has a good understanding of the SPED landscape in Singapore. Samantha hopes to continue empowering children and families to cultivate resilience, build self-confidence, and strengthen healthy relationships.
