About Me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Malaysia. I offer counseling, trauma counseling and advocacy if you face abuse, grief, career change, cross-cultural stress, or other life transitions.

Approach

Everyone has a story within them and YOUR story matters to me. If you are wondering if your issues are worth talking about and getting support for, allow me to share with you this thought from Viktor Frankl a Holocaust survivor, “To draw an analogy: a man's suffering is similar to the behavior of a gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative.” YOUR pain, YOUR difficulties, YOUR suffering and whatever it is that YOU are going through big or small matters. If it is impacting your life and you often find yourself pondering about it do reach out.

I will listen to you attentively with all of my being, I will provide you a safe space for you to be you, to express yourself, to work through the things that have brought you through my door and together we will work towards the things you want for your life. I work with the whole person, even parts of you that you think are not welcomed are welcome in the space I provide so that when all parts are embraced healing can take place. I also work with a person in a systemic way by taking into account the system a person in when I counsel because everything is related to each other in some way.

Make your mental health a priority! Reach out when you are ready or need to as my doors are always open and we can find a way together to support YOU!

Make your mental health a priority! Your wellbeing is important to me. Please reach out when you are ready or need to.

On Duration:

Your journey with me will begin with an intake session of 90 minutes. During an intake I will assess your specific concerns that brought you in that will help me get to know you, your history, areas that you would like to focus on and your treatment goals. In this process I will also provide recommendations and suggestions that fit your purpose of attending counselling. After an intake session if you choose to continue working with me subsequent sessions would run for 60 minutes where we will work on your therapy goals that you have set. Sessions that run longer than 60 minutes may be pro-rated.

On Frequency:

The length of treatment or number of sessions needed may differ due to various factors, needs and what you would like to work on. Typically to see changes clients are encouraged to come in for about 4 to 8 sessions. However, generally therapy usually continues for approximately 8 to 12 sessions. This being said I am open to having a discussion with you about whether you would benefit from having shorter or longer sessions. I am also mindful that income level may be a challenge for some so I am willing to pro-rate the fees accordingly to fit each individual’s needs.

Research has shown that for therapy to be effective clients are encouraged to come in weekly, however, if this is not possible the next course of action that is recommended is for clients to come in twice a month (bi-weekly). The reason for this frequency is so that changes can be monitored and to see if the invention used is effective. Another crucial reason that clients are encouraged to keep up with their appointments is if too much time is left from one session to the next a counsellor would have to be filled in during that session because a lot would have happened and this would not be an effective use of the therapy hour. Without consistent follow-up, the work that was done previously with a client may not be effective.
