Anxiety Therapy in Singapore

When worry, fear or panic begins to shape your decisions, work or relationships, therapy offers a space to understand what is happening and explore ways forward. I’m Franck Dibouës, a clinical psychologist practising since 2003. I offer individual consultations in French and English, in Singapore’s Central Business District and online.

When anxiety becomes difficult to manage

Anxiety can involve persistent worry, panic attacks, physical tension, disrupted sleep or avoidance of situations that feel threatening. These experiences may affect your confidence and limit everyday activities. Having some of these symptoms does not, by itself, establish an anxiety disorder: assessment helps clarify their meaning in your situation.

You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis. We can begin with the difficulties you are experiencing and the changes you would like to make.

My approach to anxiety therapy

Our first appointment is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, their impact on daily life and relevant background. Where useful, questionnaires can support the clinical assessment. We then agree on a plan suited to your needs.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach for anxiety disorders. Our work may explore the connections between thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and behaviour, including patterns of avoidance. When appropriate, gradual exposure involves approaching feared situations in planned steps.

We review progress together and adapt the work as needed. If further assessment or medical input would be helpful, we can discuss an appropriate referral.

Your psychologist

I hold a DESS in Clinical Psychopathology from Université Paris 8 and completed CBT training with AFTCC in Paris between 2009 and 2012. I am a Full Member of the Singapore Psychological Society (MSPS). My CBT practice is supervised by Anne Françoise Chaperon, a longstanding teacher at AFTCC in Paris.
