Reenee Singh (born 1967) is a psychotherapist, author, and a former editor of the Journal of Family Therapy.[1]

She was the first CEO of the Association of Family Therapy and Systemic Practice (AFT), which is the membership organisation for family and systemic psychotherapists in the UK.[2]

Education and career

Reenee Singh was born in India and earned her Bachelor of Arts (Honours) and Master of Arts in psychology from Delhi University in 1987 and 1990.[3][4]

She began her family therapy training at the Counselling and Care Centre in Singapore, in collaboration with the Institute of Family Therapy, London, between 1993 and 1994. In 1999, she moved to the United Kingdom to continue her family therapy studies, obtaining a Master of Science in 2001 and a Doctorate in 2008 in Systemic Psychotherapy from The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, in conjunction with the University of East London.[3][4]

Singh worked at The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust from 2002 until 2013.[5] In 2013, she joined The Child and Family Practice, a multidisciplinary, independent clinic in London,[6] and in 2016, she co-founded the London Intercultural Couple Centre at The Child and Family Practice. From 2020 to 2023, Singh served as a director of The Child and Family Practice in the UK.[1][7][3]

In 2019, she was appointed the first CEO of the Association of Family Therapy and Systemic Practice (AFT) in the UK, and held this post until 2020.[8][2]

Singh works as a Family and Couples Systemic Psychotherapist at The Child and Family Practice as well as, more specifically, with intercultural couples and their families.[1][9]

In 2022, Singh received an award at the first British Sikh Awards in the category Outstanding Achievement of the Year.[10]

Editor

Singh became an associate editor for the Journal of Family Therapy in 2009. In 2014, Singh was appointed as editor and held that position until 2018. From 2018 to 2020, Singh was an associate editor of the Handbook of Systemic Family Therapy.[11][8][12]

Psychotherapeutic approach and theoretical positions

Singh follows the family and systemic psychotherapy approach. She works primarily with couples and families, especially with an intercultural background.[1][13][4]

According to The Guardian, Singh sees her work as helping intercultural, mixed race and migrant couples.[1] These couples may encounter specific challenges, particularly during transitional phases such as marriage or having children. Couples from different cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds may face prejudice from their families and communities, difficulties with language and communication, and questions about the meaning of home.[9][1][14]

Singh and Reibstein have developed the Intercultural Exeter Model (2021) for their clinical practice and teaching.[15] Further, Singh draws on Valeria Ugazio's 2013 work on semantic polarities[16] and has found that the semantics of freedom and belonging are predominant amongst intercultural couples.[17]

Memberships

Singh served on the Board of the Association for Family Therapy and Systemic Practice (AFT) from 2017 to 2020. She is a member of the Advisory Council for the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy (JMFT),[2] and is an associate of the educational organisation The Taos Institute.[18]
