Saniya Singh
Clinical Psychology Registrar
B. Psych Science (Hons), PhD (Clinical Psychology) Candidate

About
I am a Clinical Psychology registrar, having completed the clinical requirements of the registrar program. I’m in the process of completing the research component of my PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of Wollongong. Currently, I work at Westmead Hospital & teach clinical units at the University of Wollongong. Previously, I have worked across public & private hospitals with children, adolescents & adults in oncology, psychiatry, drug health services and social welfare/NGO settings over the last 5 years.
I work relationally with people across a number of presentations (e.g. personality disorders, attachment difficulties, anxiety and depression). I like to take an integrated approach to the whole person - combining the biological, psychological and cultural context of the person. My therapeutic approach derives from a combination of cognitive-behavioural (CBT), dialectal-behavioural (DBT) and schema approaches. I also use an attachment and psychodynamic lens to my work.
