About Fern Psychology
Vision
We envision a world where wealth is woven seamlessly with cultural identity, emotional resilience, and generational purpose. A legacy of flourishing lives, not just financial inheritance.
Our Story
Fern Psychology was founded from both lived experience and academic inquiry.
As a counselling psychologist and researcher, I completed my doctorate in intergenerational trauma—drawn to the quiet but enduring patterns that shape families across generations. I began to see how unresolved histories and silent loyalties can echo through even the most outwardly successful families, especially among first-generation wealth creators and diaspora communities.
Alongside trauma, I also witnessed extraordinary resilience. My work with high-performing individuals from migrant and collectivist backgrounds revealed that success alone does not resolve inherited pain. But it can become a platform for conscious healing, intentional legacy, and cultural pride.
I built Fern Psychology as a discreet and globally informed practice. We work with high-performance and influential families to align emotional wellbeing, identity, and legacy because true wealth is both internal and intergenerational.
