My Story

I believe that GENUINE, CARE and RESPECT build the rapport; when the RAPPORT is there, TRUST is there, then HOPE follows…

 

I am a registered counsellor under the Board of Counsellor, Malaysia and a Certified NDP Trainer from UK. After obtaining a Bachelor Degree in Psychology from University Tunku Abdul Rahman, I practice therapeutic play in my job for the past 10 years in educational, hospital and welfare settings (including juvenile schools, orphanage homes and prison). In 2016, I completed my Master of Counselling from Open University Malaysia, since then I was appointed as a Panel Counsellor of KWSP on year 2017 - 2019. I am also a Psychology Lecturer in a private university, a China Press Columnist and a PhD student at Universiti Putra Malaysia. I have been also appointed as specialist career consultant in the Education Fair and being invited as one of the radio guest speaker (AiFM, MelodyFM & SabahVFM).
​
I started to integrate technology and psychology into couple therapy which has become my continuing research. My counselling and therapy practice has a foundation in approaches drawn from Adler, Jung, Reality, Cognitive-Behavioural, and Gestalt.

​

I speak fluent Malay, English, Mandarin, Hokkien and Cantonese.
