Welcome Message from Belinda

The world around us has changed so much and in a post-pandemic world, many of us often find ourselves struggling to make sense of life and wondering how we can manage our own mental health and well-being. Young people are burdened under the weight of unaddressed mental health issues, relationships issues, and life stressors. I believe we all have the potential to engage and make positive changes – sometimes we just need a listening ear and a little help.


I founded Sage Cocoon to do just that: To help children and youths navigate the challenges in our environment and harness our inner psychological resources to thrive. In psychotherapy, I journey collaboratively with parents and children/youths to explore solutions and tap into strengths, so that your child feels supported and empowered.


Thank you for being here.

Dr. Belinda Teo has been working with our daughter for several months. It is really amazing that my daughter is recovering within such a short time, which is really out of our expectations. Dr. Belinda Teo knows very well how to work with a child in nourishing her, building up her confidence, giving her strength/skill to return to the real world and embracing each day of her life. We would also like to thank Dr. Belinda Teo who provides regular feedback for parents so that teacher and parents can work together. Dr. Belinda Teo has strong professional work ethics and we hope that more families can benefit from her service.


Mr G, Jul 2022

I very much enjoyed being Belinda’s client. Belinda has helped me make good progress during our sessions, more so than with all my previous mental health professionals which I have seen in sum for 7 years. Of this I am certain, Belinda will help many more people.

RICHARD, Dec 2014

Dr Belinda’s expertise in handling our child in her adolescence is exceptional. After the first consultation, we got positive feedback from the class teacher on both the attitude and behaviour of our child. In the past, we were stressed and clueless on how to handle our child during emotional outbursts. After seeing Dr Belinda, our child now has an open mind and we have started to realise that we have the opportunity to be better parents. We can’t thank Dr Belinda enough for what she has accomplished in our child’s life.

MM, Jan 2022

I truly appreciated Belinda’s calm, friendly yet firm manners in dealing with my child’s separation anxiety. She taught her how to express her emotions and equipped her with the knowledge that despite emotions, my daughter could continue with tasks and everyday life.
