“The Go To Person to resolve issues, move forward and achieve goals with. As a pro-athlete, it is all about the mental game. I have been to many therapists, and things can get redundant. People can talk about sad stories and never get anywhere. With you, we resolve and rebuild. You balance caring and wanting me to achieve, with a solid grounding of knowledge and guidance. I have grown from rookie anxiety to having the steadfast confidence in my sport. In both my personal and professional life, my resilience went from 0 to 100. You give me room to grow, never judge me, and get the negative thoughts out of my head. And after I grow, you help me grow more, tailoring it all to grow with me. That Growth Mindset is ahead of time. I have multiple advanced degrees and you educated me to know myself. I am able to laugh at myself, be brought back into my body, and have a deep discipline now, down to running again. We keep moving forward. Thank you.”

“Our work has been deeply valuable and life-altering successful journey. I came to DrP because I was lacking awareness of what years of unhealthy anxiety was doing to my body and energy. I was a ‘high performer’ who struggled to mask my challenges and this led to a severe paralysing attack. With DrP, I learnt that anxiety is not a weakness, and instead the more I embraced it as a human being, the less I encountered it. Working with DrP is “not textbook” though she has clearly read many. She is human, relatable, and I would definitely recommend a friend.”

“11/10. The utter brilliance and delivery of DrP in helping the layman understand the issues— it should be mandatory that we all attend a presentation on neurodiversity and learn how do we accept and embrace the big questions.”

“DrP is the best to work with! As a business leader, she has helped provide insights into the balancing and priorities from both professional and personal lenses. She has a dedicated work style to her clients and supporting in their personal growth and endeavours.”

“As both an executive coach and trained therapist, I have sought the help of various professionals over the years to continue on my own path of personal development and growth. Too often, I had found that after a few sessions, I was leading the therapist on my journey, rather the therapist guiding me. I believe It’s difficult for high performing trained professionals like me to find a psychologist and coach that can liberate us and truly be led versus lead. DrP’s ability to set a fast pace to help me both personally and professionally understand myself, uncover insights, resolve trauma, and shift stuck patterns, was incredible. I got more benefits in 8 meetings than I had spending a couple of years with other psychologists.”

“I was a brand new entrepreneur, and 26 years old when I bought my first franchise location. I was running myself into the ground. My husband found DrP and after our first call I felt better. Over the months, I learnt how to problem solve in business and life in a systematic way, and believe in my ability to do this. I learnt to form my own conclusions. DrP helped me find the root cause of my recurring nightmares, and eradicate them; I learnt to have boundaries with my parents so I enjoy our relationship more. I learnt how my entrepreneur brain works and developed into a high-level business woman. Since working with DrP, I expanded to 6 studio locations with 8 full-time and 50 part-time employees. I know and believe in myself. I can take vacations and have true work-life balance, and my husband and I have a better relationship than ever. I truly attribute the start of my success in life and in my career to my time spent with DrP.”

“Loved working with Dr. P last year and would highly recommend her. Her deep empathy and understanding of high performers helped me recalibrate for the next phase of my life, understand more about my strengths and weaknesses and put in place tools to maximise focus on future goals. Just brilliant!”

“Life-changing. Toxic work dynamics were consuming me, making me not want to go to work. I forgot why I got into medicine in the first place. I was exhausted and irritable, giving and feeling mistreated. But I also wanted so much more from life, to find back the joy and pleasure. Our work helped me reconnect with myself and what’s important to me. I saw dynamics clearly, and learnt how to navigate them skilfully. I am certain of myself without second-guessing, and can better handle stresses in everyday life. Work is so much more fulfilling, efficient and productive. I’ve worked with counsellors before and that’s what kept me stuck and disappointed. You allowed me to lead and met me where I was. Our work was very individualised and not cookie-cutter at all. It happened faster, I felt heard, and it was extra-effective. I grew in ways I didn’t know were possible, or wouldn’t have even thought about, getting to this amazing place.”

“DrP is unlike any psychologist on the market. I have worked with many high caliber psychologists in the military and I can say confidently that she is worth every penny. She will always tell you the truth and most importantly hold you accountable. DrP is a performance oriented psychotherapist, who takes your goals and makes them her own. In a very short amount of time (8 weeks), she will teach you lifelong skills and give you deep insight into yourself that you can use to change your life. She is incredibly respectful of time and will go as fast or as slow as you need. The results are profound. I am 100x more effective and efficient in every aspect of my life, from relationships to work performance. She will give you an edge that you can get nowhere else, and teach you the skills to keep it the rest of your life.”

“Thank you for the quality session. I had the privilege of first meeting Dr. P during a D&I festival in Singapore, as she presented on neurodiversity. Beyond her evident depth of knowledge and experience, it’s her personality and style that led me to connect and ask her to come spend time with our team, at the time with a focus on mental energy. As you’d expect, I highly recommend Perpetua and hope you’ll enjoy working with her as much as I did!”

“Perpetua is an outstanding speaker, and has exceptional language. 5 minutes with Dr Neo can transform your networking success. Thank you Dr Perpetua Neo for giving us both the sword and shield to conquer networking.”

“10/10. DrP keeps it real. She gets to the root of the feeling quickly, putting things into words so simply, the things we avoid but sap our energy. She cuts through the awkwardness, silence and uncertainty without being cheesy. Instead, she’s relatable, approachable and applicable. Everything feels very natural and professional, and warm and welcoming. And she sets the tone straight away.”

“Well-structured & insightful. Perpetua integrates theory and practice in an engaging manner.”

“Engaging, enlightening, and so easy to implement.”

Perpetua’s natural ability to foster an approach that is both compassionate and pragmatic accounts for her efficacy. She meets her clients at their level in a compassionate and warm manner. Her style is both personable and professional and I feel this accounts for the ease with which her clients engage and collaborate with her in the process of change.” –Gabriella Moody, Counselling Psychologist.

“Well-rounded. Perpetua’s workshop goes beyond public speaking, it enhances your leadership abilities. She is highly engaging and insightful, within a positive and supportive environment.”

“Packed room for the #IoDYDF Summer Drinks with Dr Perpetua Neo! There’s a certain irony in the number of networking events with the topic “how to network better”, but I have to say, it’s the first time I’ve heard a Psychologist speak on the subject and she definitely brought in new elements I’d never really considered!”

“Dr Neo is an inspirational speaker with a wealth of knowledge. She empowers you to act now for your future.”

“DrP makes everything so simple and inspiring. She is energetic, dynamic and engaging. If only we had more time with her!”

“ROCKSTAR. Dr Perpetua Neo took us on a fascinating journey over breakfast on how to make neurodiversity in the workplace work for you rather than against you and shared some practical advice on small manageable adjustments to our protocol to so that it becomes a win-win-win for neurodiverse individuals, the neurotypical and the organisation. Thank you for your insights and your amazing energy, DrP!”

“There is a lot of discussion about #psychologicalsafety at the moment, but how many of our leaders really understand what they can do to create a positive environment and what tooling can we give them to support this? As an HR leader, I have explored several working style assessments over the years but this is the first time I have come across style preferences for psychological safety. Dr Perpetua’s user friendly workbook helped us to understand our own preferences and where those preferences might be underserving some our colleagues and team members. The most practical tool on psychological safety that I have seen. I will definitely be able to apply these insights as an HR leader and as a colleague.”

“12/10. Splendid session, loved the simplicity with which DrP demystified complex topics and helped me understand myself better”

“An excellent workshop on self-development.”

“DrP simplifies abstract psychological terms in a very practical, easy-to-understand session with practical quick actions that we can easily apply daily.”

“My mind is blown with your amazing concepts, simplified with the WAY you tell it!”

“I really like the way you delivered it, it was very “human” and very engaging. The ability to deliver a powerpoint is actually quite rare I find, most people just bore me to tears by having slides packed full of information which only take away from the presentation.”

“We have done SO MUCH in my personal and professional life. I was feeling hopeless— my body was perpetually tired, my skin was reacting and my brain didn’t feel right. I got to a point where I wasn’t doing my tasks anymore unless they were absolutely critical— I had no control over my mind, time and sleep. But I’ve always been very stressed out in the past, done some coaching, felt much better, and then returned to the baseline. This time, I have set up systems to run on their own and my teams have stepped up, despite the gaps and chaos left by COVID, The Great Resignation and global recession. I work across different timezones easily, get along with a boss in a different continent I had communication difficulties with, and lead better. I have a set time for work, am finally glad to outsource, have cut meetings by more than 60%, and regained time by building templates. More importantly, I learnt how I have always cleaned up messes that aren’t mine, and got past the traumas of an old job where I was put into an impossible situation. My brain is clear, and I go home energised. I am evolving as a person past the limits of my ADHD brain to thrive in chaos and stability. I have time, structure and I eat better now. Thank you.”

“If I didn’t work with you, I’m not sure I’d still be alive. I had things I needed to release and work on, I needed specific help that I couldn’t talk through with a friend. I was miserable and lost, blaming myself for everything. I didn’t know if I could even make a plan. I was surprised by all the positives about myself, that there are great positive things about me. We worked on me exiting my abusive relationship, old traumas and things buried within my childhood. I know myself, my purpose, and keep taking action. I know how to make things work now, re-entered the workforce after many years. I am at a point where I am optimistic, and know I am a work-in-progress. I show up better for my kids, I have a part to play in life now. I never expected to be here today. Thank you.” – Ms MK, Regional Senior Sales, Oil & Gas (Asia).

“I started therapy with Dr. P because I was having panic attacks. I was going through a divorce, became a mom, had to grieve over the sudden loss of my grandmother at the same time. It felt like the days with panic would never end. She quickly taught me skills on how to regulate myself. In three weeks, I started learning how to control my panic attacks. However, what happened afterwards was gold! I learned about what was behind the panic. It might sound very simple but concepts like allowing emotions, and acceptance started to make sense because she helped me understand what they actually meant. On top of that, she is very open-minded and integrates eastern philosophy and ancient knowledge very well. I felt understood, cared for, and most importantly in good hands. She is the therapist I thought I would never find. I genuinely think that the world must know her. She should definitely teach!”

“It was difficult to articulate or even understand why I was frustrated about everything, and why everything was so much harder than it needed to be. I fought alot with my spouse, wasn’t going anywhere with my work, and was exhausted. I’m alot more calm today, and on the same team as my wife, because I know how to have boundaries with my narcissistic mother. I’m flexible and mindful, instead of rigid and difficult. My output has increased enormously, and I’m way more energised. My reflective mind and high standards work for me now, instead of tormenting me, and I feel alot more confident than when I first started. Now I have the tools and thought processes that will set me up strongly. You clearly have a fantastic track record in psychology, and I am absolutely delighted that I got to work with you. Thank you.”

“I was frozen, terrified, immobilised. I worked so hard just to get out of bed and put one foot in front of the other. I fought so hard for life, to be visible. The way you’ve set up our work together is perfect. You push me in a gentle way, and intuitively bring up the right thing, getting the words out of my mouth. Part of what I went through that’s so difficult is the shame of being with a narcissist. I questioned, what’s wrong with me. And you told me it’s okay how I feel, and it really helped. It’s hard to identify shame till it’s gone especially if it’s a big part of who you are. I am a new person now, rediscovering who I always was, and creating who else I want to be. I feel fabulous, free and hopeful. I am proud of my self, and look way better than I used to. You’re a genius and wizard; it’s been amazing.”

“I thought mental health issues would never knock my door until one day I sat down in the train, felt like I was about to have a heart attack, breathing heavily, feeling extremely hot and thirsty. I jumped out of the train at the last minute and had to say goodbye to my dream job interview in London. The next 3 years I spent at doctors’ rooms trying to understand what the f is going on with my body, with my brain, I was desperate and thought my old life full of travels and dreams is over as I couldn’t even take a bus or walk for a long time. I turned to my family for help but faced a complete ignorance. I was looking on internet for any help , any information until one day I stumbled upon DrP’s website, where she shared her personal story describing exactly what I was feeling physically. I set up a call with her and never regretted to work with her since. We had regular calls, she was always available for me and very supportive. She asked me the right questions, she guided me through the whole journey to understand my body, my brain, to help healing and starting over. I will recommend Perpetua to everyone who struggles with themselves, who doesn’t understand their body, their mind, whose life stopped and who needs a support when doctors or family can’t help. I feel strength again, I know how to take care of myself, I know I can feel like shit but I am not a shit. It is a blessing to have support that DrP gave me at that very moment when I need it the most.”

“I am a totally different person. I was obsessed about a work betrayal, and checking up on it non-stop. I wanted to end it. It consumed me, and everyone could see I was irritable, angry and erratic. In 8 weeks, I didn’t need to speak about it anymore, and I became in control. I was free of it, excelling at work, and able to see future successes. My wife is so proud I spoke to someone, our relationship improved, and everything has a positive spin. I also have a plan on how to deal with my routine, workload and to balance planning with execution. It is many years later, and I am still in a good place. We have won many awards and my work is featured in prominent places. Thank you.”

“You literally saved my life, I struck gold. Life changing, invaluable, outstanding, precious, supportive, safety-net, oxygen! Anything but “text-book” therapy. My family and I had worked with 5 other therapists over the span of about 8 years and none had been effective in showing understanding of what was going on, making sense of abusive patterns nor providing any helpful insight. I had recently fled countries from a long-term relationship – 35 years together and 25 years of marriage – after a physical assault. I was only sleeping 3 hours a night; I was suffering from skin rashes, joint and muscle pains, burning hands, feet and mouth, blurred vision, intrusive thoughts, flash backs, racing heart, indigestion. You clearly understood, believed and validated my experiences. I didn’t need to prove myself anymore. You helped me heal those symptoms, you were my reliable, healthy sounding board as I navigated divorce, custody and how he gaslit our children. I shall never forget how you helped me through the hardest days of my life. I am here and my children are safe and well thanks to you!”

“I engaged you because I wanted to navigate the ebbs and flows in my energy better, and to deal with generalised anxiety. There is alot I was grateful for in life, but these were making life and sleep hard. You helped me improve my sleep quality significantly, and work differently with my energy levels. You also saw me though a very depleting court case, and to process difficult relationships.I am a better, stronger and kinder leader who is true to myself. I can show up better with my introvert personality, and be firm with difficult senior leaders or other strong personalities. I know I don’t need grandiose improvements, and simply need incremental progress. My current self can take me forward, and my organisation is more accountable now. Thank you.”

“I was looped in circles, lost and unhappy. The relationship with my narcissistic ex-partner made me feel unsafe, I didn’t know how to have boundaries. He was charming, and I was hooked back over and over again. In a parallel life, I would still be putting up with such nonsense from man and sucked into drama. Working with you, I am in a different place. Despite my work stress because I am triple-hatting, I am eating properly for a change, and sleeping through the night. I know what I want from life, I am reading for the first time in years, and taking care of my body. It has been a transformative few months, so many things in hindsight I would have never worked out on my own. The amazing thing is that you helped me realise it’s not that complicated. It’s simple to take ownership of your life and happiness. You’ve impacted my life profoundly and shifted the way I think.”
