The Relational
Counsellor
Rosie McGowan uses traditional talk therapy based techniques such as CBT in conjunction with a range of somatic/experiential methods. A distinctive skill set in the Southeast Asia region.
She has a Masters in Applied Theatre (Drama in the Community, Drama Education) and a Masters in Counselling. In compliment to both her Masters, Rosie has further training from schools of psychodrama, somatic methodologies and many other body based therapies. This combination offers a uniquely experiential and holistic approach when working with clients.
Rosie has worked in a number of private and community settings. At the Community Rehabilitation Centre (Singapore), Rosie worked with Dr Reshie Joseph where she was the driving force for an extremely successful program with troubled youth. She joined Reshie again at The Cabin (Singapore) running Singapore's first Intensive Outpatient Program for recovering addicts with extraordinary success. She has also spent some time in London further expanding her skills range.
Her main areas of expertise are trauma that cannot often be treated with just talk therapy, addictions, anxiety disorders and young adults with whom she has an exceptional ability to put at ease and bond with.
She was President of the Singapore Drama Educators Association from 2019-2022.
She currently lives in Singapore, working exclusively in private practice and has an international client base. A unique counsellor, she brings a high level of professionalism and the results to match.
