Hi, and thanks for reading more about me!

My name is Allison Heiliczer. I live in Singapore.

My Story

I’m an American psychotherapist who’s been living and working in Asia for over 15 years—12 years in Hong Kong and now three years in Singapore.

What started as a practice supporting individuals and couples with both relationship and work challenges has evolved into something I’m truly passionate about: focusing exclusively on relationship challenges.

My Approach

I believe therapy doesn’t have to be stuffy or stale. At Rethink The Couch, I offer a fresh, creative, connected, and collaborative approach to online therapy.

Every day, I’m reminded of what a privilege it is to support people in their most vulnerable moments and help them build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

Credentials & Expertise

I’m the first certified Relational Life Therapist (RLT) in Asia—a powerful form of couples therapy pioneered by Terrence (Terry) Real, whom I consider the best living couples therapist today.

Terry even provided the cover endorsement for my book, and you can find me listed as a certified therapist on his website.

I’m also an ICF certified coach, though my focus has shifted entirely to relationship work rather than corporate coaching.

Published Author

My first book, Rethink the Couch: Into the Bedrooms and Boardrooms of Asia with an Expat Therapist, was published by Penguin Random House. You can find reviews and more information about the book on my website.

Education & Background

I graduated summa cum laude from NYU and completed graduate school there as well, plus earned a second master’s degree from Monash University in Australia.

But honestly, what matters more than where I studied is the decade and a half I’ve spent learning from my clients and continuously growing in this field.

My Journey

My path has taken me from supporting both relationship and workplace challenges to focusing entirely on what I love most: helping individuals and couples navigate their relationship dynamics.

Whether you’re dealing with communication breakdowns, intimacy issues, or just feeling disconnected from your partner, I’m here to help you rethink what’s possible.

Working online allows me to support people across Asia and beyond, bringing this fresh approach to therapy directly to you, wherever you are.
