Gavin holds a Master of Counselling from Swinburne University of Technology and a Bachelor of Counselling from the Singapore University of Social Sciences.

With extensive experiences in welfare organisations, Gavin has supported young clients in navigating a range of concerns, including managing anger, anxiety, and depression; coping with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); improving social skills; boosting self-esteem; and addressing behavioural challenges through the use of psychotherapy. He also assists children in finding academic motivation and managing learning difficulties through tailored interventions.

As a psychotherapist, Gavin is skilled in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and person-centred therapy, adapting his methods to suit each child’s unique needs.

In addition to working directly with children, Gavin provides parent training in both individual and group settings, equipping parents with practical strategies to support their child’s development and effectively manage challenging behaviours.

By collaborating with families and key supporters, he helps to create a nurturing, supportive network where children feel heard, understood, and encouraged to thrive.
