Jason Huang

“If I am human, then nothing human is alien to me… and I am human.” – Terence, the Roman Playwright.

Jason has always resonated deeply with the idea of a wounded healer. He believes human suffering, while painful, can become a springboard for growth, and that even our darkest experiences can become unexpected sources of wisdom and strength for the journey ahead- if we let it. He sees every client as carrying a quiet hope, that somewhere beyond the confusion, despair, and negative internal dialogue, life can be different. When clients momentarily lose sight of that hope, he sees part of his role as holding onto it for them until they are ready to carry it again themselves.

His approach to counselling is compassionate and grounded in the belief that no two life stories are ever the same. He draws from Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Narrative and Existential approaches to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their inner world with honesty and curiosity, believing that meaningful change often begins with deeper understanding, that when the “whys” become clearer, the “hows” naturally start to emerge. His therapeutic work focuses on anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, self-esteem, career/work stress, life transitions and more.

Jason obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the National University of Singapore (NUS) before pursuing a post-graduate Master of Arts (M.A.) in Counselling and Guidance from Nanyang Technological University. He is a full Clinical Member (C0906) and Registered Counsellor (RegCLR, CMSAC) with the Singapore Association for Counselling and a certified Prepare-Enrich facilitator (USA). Prior to his counselling work at Lyra, Jason worked as a university counsellor and also held roles with the Prime Minister’s Office and the tripartite Labour Movement, where he supported workers navigating employment concerns through both policy work and direct support to workers facing employment-related challenges. These experiences have given him a broader appreciation of the ways personal wellbeing is often shaped by the relationships, workplaces, and wider systems in which people live and work.

When Jason is not talking to someone or staring at his work computer, he enjoys reading about counselling, philosophy, and Christianity. When he’s not reading, he can be found listening to indie-folk music, longboarding down the sidewalks, or taking long walks to nowhere – contemplating a good paradox.
