Meet your Facilitator

Dr Rachel Jayaseelan

• Years of Experience: 14 years
• Groups Facilitated at SoulUp: 5
• Relevant Expertise: Psychological and Educational Assessments, Developmental Delays, LD & ADHD Screening, Behavioural and Emotional Disorders, Relationship Security, Sleep and Emotional Intelligence

Dr. Rachel has spent nine years working closely with parents at Reach Clinic, helping them interpret diagnostic results, understand behaviour through a developmental lens and create supportive routines that meet both the child’s needs and the caregiver’s emotional capacity. She works extensively with developmental delays, ADHD, learning disabilities and emotional disorders in children and adolescents. With over 200 workshops facilitated for corporations, schools and parent groups, she has helped caregivers gain practical skills in emotion coaching, behaviour management and communication.

She recognizes the immense resilience single parents show while often juggling every responsibility alone & advocacy for their child, financial management, caregiving roles and emotional labour. Her long-standing involvement in community service through Rotaract has shaped her belief that support systems help families thrive, and no parent should feel isolated in their journey.

In SoulUp’s Single Parenting Support Group, she offers a space of shared strength, where caregivers can be vulnerable without judgment. She supports them with effective tools, mental space to breathe and an environment where they can celebrate wins and release fears together. Her goal is to help parents feel more confident, supported and emotionally resourced — knowing that good care for the child begins with compassionate care for the caregiver.

More about Support Groups & Therapy Groups:

1. What is an online therapy or support group?

Online therapy groups or support groups are structured, therapist-led sessions where participants gather virtually to discuss and work on specific mental health or personal growth topics.

These groups offer a supportive environment and help members learn coping strategies and relevant techniques from the therapist. Participants offer each other encouragement, share advice, and provide emotional support, helping one another feel less isolated.

2. What benefits can I expect from joining an online therapy group or support group?

Participants in online therapy groups often experience improved mental health, a greater sense of connection, and enhanced coping skills. Group therapy provides structured guidance from a therapist, which can lead to valuable insights and personal growth.

3. How does online group therapy compare to one-on-one therapy?

One-on-one therapy is personalized, focusing solely on your needs, which can be ideal for in-depth, private work with a therapist.

Online group therapy, however, offers a sense of community and shared experience. In addition to learning from the therapist, members get to connect with others facing similar challenges. Group settings provide diverse perspectives and reduce isolation, which participants find valuable.

4. Are online groups effective?

Yes, studies show that online groups can be as effective as in-person groups. The online format provides convenience and accessibility while offering the same structured therapeutic benefits, especially for those who prefer the comfort of their home environment.

5. Will I have to share my personal journey in the group?

Sharing is encouraged but never forced. Participants are free to share only what they feel comfortable with, and many find that opening up gradually is natural and helpful for their own growth.

6. How do online therapy groups or support groups handle difficult emotions that arise?

The therapist leading the group is trained to manage challenging emotions. They provide tools and strategies for coping, helping participants process feelings safely.

7. Can I attend online therapy groups if I’m already in individual therapy?

Yes, many people find that group therapy superbly complements individual therapy, providing additional insights and social support, thus accelerating their healing. Also, users often join group therapy for a topic that they are not focusing on in their individual therapy sessions. Often, therapists themselves recommend their clients to group therapy for a specific area of their life.

8. How do I know if a support group is right for me?

If you’re looking for shared experiences and emotional support rather than structured therapeutic guidance, a support group may be ideal. Otherwise, consider a therapy group for a more structured approach.

You can also join more than one group if you feel it will benefit you, especially if each group focuses on a different aspect of your mental health journey.
