When does a romantic relationship become unhealthily inward-looking?
Ms Ooi Sze Jin, founder of counselling practice A Kind Place, said: “A well-rounded sense of self should include multiple aspects of identity such as personal interests, goals, friendships and values.
“Defining oneself solely through a relationship can be a sign of co-dependency, where one’s sense of self-worth becomes overly reliant on the dynamics of the relationship.”

You’re doing great, but …’: Why it’s so hard to shake off negative feedback from your boss during appraisal season
Registered psychologist Ooi Sze Jin said that just as negative news or past events tend to linger in our minds longer, many people also internalise negative feedback and take it personally.
This leads individuals to criticise themselves more harshly than the feedback warrants, developing a persistent “inner critic” that resurfaces when negative experiences occur, Ms Ooi added.

Frequently Asked Questions on Corporate Wellness
It is known by a few different names like workplace wellness and employee wellbeing. These terms are all one and the same, and they are used to describe the range of activities, events, programmes, and policies that promote healthy behaviour at work.
Workplace wellness programmes can cover a broad spectrum of areas and that is because employees don’t leave anything behind when they cross the door into the office. The mental and physical health of your staff is relevant to the workplace on a daily basis. That is why such corporate wellness activities take a holistic approach to employee health.
People often asked us: What do workplace wellness programs do? This can be a difficult question as corporate health programmes are incredibly diverse. After all, they are aimed at a diverse workforce with a wide variety of needs and interests. To help you get a better sense of what is targeted by the office wellness plans, let’s take a look at some of the different types of corporate wellness programmes.
- Workplace fitness programmes: Boosting physical activity before, during, and after the workday has a profound impact on both the physical and mental health of your employees.
- Nutrition programmes for employees: During the average workday, employees make numerous decisions on their meals, snacks, and drinks. While offices often think that ordering greasy takeaway or bringing in sweat treats is a great workplace perk, the opposite is true in the long run. In fact, employees who have a poor diet are 66% more likely to be less productive while healthy eating can boost productivity by 20%.
- Ergonomics workout: In Singapore and across the world, working in offices has taken its toll on our health. Having a professional guide your employees through the fundamentals of good workplace ergonomics is a simple but effective way to boost office wellness.
- Workplace mental health program options: Here at A Kind Place, workplace mental health is our speciality. Employee mental health is the foundation of everything. From managing stress to overcoming procrastination to simply feeling their best in the workplace, mental health benefits are fundamental to every single aspect of your business.
These are just a few of the countless components that may be included in an effective plan. We also offer a range of customised corporate wellness plans for offices across the country.
Why is wellness important in business? While the connection may not seem entirely obvious at first, employee wellness is fundamental to business and corporate success. Just as you have highly trained experts to maintain your technical infrastructure, you need specialised professionals to help you maintain a healthy workforce.
When it comes to workplace wellness, we often talk about how healthy employees are happy employees. When it comes to the corporate bottom line, that also means engaged and productive employees.
Each business creates its own employee wellness programme from a wide range of options. Ultimately, the best programme depends greatly on the personal needs of the staff and identifying their core interests. To get a sense of what other programmes include, here is a glimpse at some of the common wellness plan offerings:
- Free or discounted gym memberships
- Volunteering days
- Financial education
- Yoga classes
- Meditation classes
- Educational opportunities
- Free food
- Health risk assessments
- Vaccination clinics
- Quit smoking support
- Wellness challenges
- Wellness expeditions
- Mental health days
- Ergonomic workspaces
The first thing to ask yourself is: what do employees want? It is important to focus your programme on the true needs of your staff. During the many workplace wellness programmes in Singapore that our consultants have facilitated, we have found that mental health issues are paramount for the vast majority of employees.
On the other side of things, our consultants regularly talk to management, human resources, and staff about why previous programmes have failed. Time and time again we hear about the same issues coming up and they all centre around the same theme: staff mental health. Employees don’t participate in things like corporate gym plans, smoking cessation programmes, or learning opportunities because they are stressed out, tired, and unable to manage what is already on their plate.
When employees feel unable to cope with their daily work life, the last thing that they want to do is take on another challenge. That is why we promote corporate mental health programmes as the very top priority.
Our team of professional counsellors and psychologists in Singapore specialise in various fields such as anxiety counselling services, men’s counselling, and ADHD treatment if you suspect you or your loved one is suffering from ADHD.
