About Counselling and Therapy at Sym Academy

Sym, which means ‘together’ in Greek, is a dynamic merger of expertise between the former PPIS Family Therapy Institute and PPIS Training & Consultancy, constantly seeking innovation and connection to reconnect relationships.

Sym Academy is a practice academy specialising in individual, family and relationship therapy. We believe that family is an integral aspect of human society, and we offer trainings, education as well as family therapy to spread awareness and educate the public in building a deeper connection with the self and significant others in the family. Therapy is aimed towards improving relationships among family members and resolve family conflicts amicably.

Family therapy is the centre of our family-related programmes here at PPIS. We believe that through informed and emphatic intervention, relationship issues and conflicts will be resolved and reduced for the sake of the children in the household. Thus, Sym Academy is established to make accessible the benefits of individual, family and relationship therapy to families and societies alike.

Programmes & Services

With our extensive ground experience in working with families, Sym is also able to offer consultation, family therapy and a difference in managing change and mindset shifts to organisations through various customised models.

Expertise & Practice

For families and individuals seeking connection, connectedness and a harmonious relationship, Sym offers a holding space to journey with their thoughts, emotions and interactions through individual/couple and family therapy, conversations, workshops, retreats and relationship learning circles.

As families and employment are interdependent, we also offer a workplace programme, the WorkSpace HR+, alongside family therapy, to complement and support both employers and employees to find common ground and care for each other.
