About Me

Aarti Chidambaram
Senior Consultantl Psychologist | APSATS Partner Specialist & Supervisor | Brainspotting Practitioner | TEDx Speaker/ERCEM Specialist and Supervisor

Healing is both a science and an art—and my life’s work sits at the intersection of both.

With nearly two decades of experience, I bring a deeply integrative and client-centered approach to therapy. My work is rooted in the belief that every individual carries within them the innate wisdom and strength to heal, grow, and thrive.

I hold an MA and BA (Hons) in Psychology, am a Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (MNLP), a BPS-Certified Psychometric Tester, and a trained practitioner in Brainspotting (Phases 1 & 2), CBT, DBT, Gestalt, Somatic Therapy, and the Gottman Method (Levels 1 & 2).

As the only APSATS-trained Partner Specialist and Supervisor in Asia, I specialize in helping partners navigate the often-overwhelming journey of betrayal trauma. My work draws from the Multi-Dimensional Trauma Model for partners and Early Recovery Couples Empathy Model (ERCEM) for couples—where I also serve as a certified supervisor. I support not only clients but also other professionals seeking to develop skills in this nuanced field.

My passion lies in walking alongside clients as they move from Discovery to Recovery©—a model I’ve developed to give structure, clarity, and empowerment through every stage of healing. I also work extensively with couples in relational distress, guiding them back to connection through empathic, trauma-informed techniques.

I have facilitated the longest-running Partner Support Group for betrayal trauma in Singapore and run Asia’s only intensive retreat for partners. These spaces are sacred, supportive, and transformational—combining clinical depth with human connection.

I work with:

  • Partners and couples healing from betrayal
  • Individuals navigating complex and developmental trauma
  • Teens and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, self-harm, and identity issues
  • Families striving to rebuild trust and connection post-trauma

In my work, I bring not just technical skill but lived wisdom, cultural sensitivity, and a deep belief in the human capacity for transformation. My clients often describe me as warm, intuitive, insightful, and gently challenging.

Outside of therapy, I’m an accomplished Bharatanatyam dancer and use movement as a therapeutic tool in select client work. I’m also a proud mother of two young adults and married to a supportive partner in the banking industry. My spirituality and multicultural background allow me to connect with people from all walks of life—with deep respect and genuine presence.

Whether you are hurting, healing, or hoping, I invite you to step into a space where your story matters, your pain is honored, and your healing is possible.

Hi Ladies, I attended the 2023 “Wings of Hope” retreat. Life changing is the phrase I would use. Before  went, I was lost, confused and to a point felt trapped in my relationship. My husband was (& is) in recovery, but the uncertainty I felt about the future and what I could or couldn’t do about it, was real. Aarti guided me through a process of allowing myself to accept and understand my story and gave me many tools that I gave used to move through some of the pain from the years of betrayal.The loss and grief portion of the retreat, whilst very difficult, was transformational—being able to take back things that I had lost was very empowering. Having Yoga at the start of the day and breath work at the end was the perfect way to manage the emotions that ultimately came up each session.

My journey with self healing and self discovery started 6 years ago. I was in deep despair with my world turned upside down. The first year was a living hell fraught with anger, frustration and loneliness. Aarti, patiently with her unique sense of understanding, gentle probing, support and guidance brought me to stability, to a place that was able to set up boundaries (She is the master at boundaries). She has a deep commitment to each one of her clients and is dedicated to see them through the darkness and bring them to light. I was so lost when i walked through her doors, through her supportive varied therapy sessions i am beginning to find myself  and see purpose in my life

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been introduced to Aarti by a partner at the outset of my journey. From the very first session, it was evident that I had encountered someone who not only comprehended the pain I was experiencing the pain empathised with it. To say that Aarti has transformed my life would be an understatement. Her unparalleled blend of authentic care, profound knowledge, and empathic insight has been nothing short of life-altering. If you find yourself grappling with the aftermath of betraya; and seek guidance to navigate this extremely difficult time, look no further than Aarti. She truly stands out as he epitome of excellence in her field.
