Dr. Matthew Woo is a highly distinguished Clinical Psychologist and an Associate Professor (Adjunct) at the National University of Singapore. With a prolific background in both academia and clinical practice, he has been published widely in numerous international journals and continues to lecture at local universities.

He is deeply recognized for his pioneering work in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. His expertise in the field has led him to serve as the President of EMDR Asia.

Dr. Woo has been prominently featured on Channel News Asia's documentary "Wired Differently", as well as in major local media outlets including the Straits Times, Lianhe Wanbao, and Lianhe Zaobao. Furthermore, he is the recipient of two prestigious Health Manpower Development Program fellowship awards for his specialized work in Community Psychiatry (Los Angeles and Chicago, 2003) and Sex Offender Interventions (Portland, 2010).

"I went to see Dr Woo to seek remedy for depression and mood swings which had severely affected my concentration. I was taking part time studies and had to spend $10k to repeat my studies because I could not meet the deadlines for the assignments. For years I had struggled with my assignments. Every time I do homework I'll feel like slitting my hands. But I just handed in a 300-page plan without any blood." "So I'll recommend any people out there who has depression or suicidal thoughts to seek EMDR through Dr Woo." - Winnie, 19 years old
