Gerard Ee

Gerard Ee Huck Lian has worked in human services for over 40 years. He has served as a youth worker, family therapist, prison counsellor, residential care worker, community builder and non-profit leader.

He believes that the human services are not simply about problem-solving but is a peace-building process that engages people to be a little kinder, fairer, and more cooperative. He practices non-violent communication as a process of honouring himself and everyone he encounters.

Gerard is a Certified Trainer in Non-Violent Communication via Somatic Consensus, a Clinical Member of the Association of Marriage and Family Therapy Singapore, and a facilitator for Community Workplaces.

What People Are Saying

"For over 30 years, Gerard has facilitated mutual learning experiences between Potsdam University and social workers in Singapore to develop, teach, and continuously refine theories, methods, support programs, and staff training. This practice-science partnership has benefited many students and professionals, thanks to Gerard's remarkable practice of empowering relationships and practical assistance to children, youth, families, and communities. Yet Gerard is much more than a social worker—he is a true philosopher of social work. His deep, far-reaching reflections, innovative solutions, vivid case stories, and seamless translations of theory into practice have guided, inspired, and profoundly influenced many people in Germany and Singapore. Gerard gets things done and leaves a long lasting impact."

Frank Früchtel, Dean, Faculty of Social and Educational Sciences, Potsdam University

"Thank you so much Gerard for everything that you have done for the family 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 we are forever grateful. Thank you for putting in really too much of your time and sincere efforts into this. We are really grateful for all your help in what seemed to be such an insurmountable and complex problem, and to get to this stage today where everyone got some form of real peace, healing and repentance is almost inconceivable to me. You have changed the lives of many 🙏🏼🙏🏼"
