Keynote Women Speakers

Expertise: Mental Health

Natalie Song is a counsellor, speaker, and advocate for emotional wellbeing, specialising in the psychology of bullying and abuse. A graduate in Psychological Counselling, she founded Song & Pashley, a Singapore-based non-profit organisation providing accessible, low-bono and pro-bono counselling to individuals who fall between the cracks of traditional mental health support systems. Natalie’s passion for helping others stems from her own experience of overcoming a decade of domestic abuse—an ordeal that ignited her mission to support survivors and address the root causes of destructive behaviour. Her work spans both personal and workplace contexts, empowering individuals to recognise unhealthy patterns, set boundaries, and rebuild confidence. As a KeyNote Women Speaker, Natalie shares her expertise and story with authenticity and emotional intelligence. She brings a rare dual perspective—understanding both the victim’s pain and the perpetrator’s psychology—making her talks deeply human and profoundly transformative. Her vision is simple yet powerful: to stop the cycle of abuse by cultivating empathy, awareness, and emotional strength in every relationship and organisation.
