About Me

I am a licensed counsellor in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. I offer online and in-person counseling, hypnosis, wellness support, and relationship counseling for adults with anxiety, mood disorders, or fertility concerns.

Approach

I uses integration theories from Person Centred Therapy, Mindfulness's concept and practices, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and modalities such as sand play, as well as technique from creative art therapy, journaling, hypnotherapy (that work wonders with subconscious and unconscious mind as we are being shaped a lot by value and belief from childhood) and also EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) a memory reprocessing method that work wonders with distressing memory and trauma. EMDR is recommended by WHO- World Health Organization for PTSD). I attune my approach based on client needs, style and issues.

Services

I am a trauma-informed therapist and work with individual (adult) counselling and EAP (Employee Assistance Programme). I offer counselling/therapy via face to face and also online counselling/therapy/tele psychological support. I also offer hypnotherapy as well as EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) services too.

I worked with client on various issues and struggle they had and had a strong passion to work with PTSD, depression, anxiety, trauma and childhood distressing memory.

I work closely with my client building a safe, therapeutic relationship for sharing and growth. I particularly like a quote by Irwin Yalom on the relationship between therapist and client journeying together and growing together. Hope to be in your journey of healing!

“Irvin Yalom described the client and therapist as “fellow travelers, both on a journey of discovery together.”
