Approach to therapy:

In therapy, I believe in taking a holistic approach in exploring and understanding her clients' strengths and difficulties. As Carl Rogers has once said "A person is a fluid process, not a fixed and static entity; a flowing river of change, not a block of solid material; a continually changing constellation of potentialities, not a fixed quantity of traits", I strive to explore and acknowledge those potentialities with her clients.

I believe that therapy provides individuals with a space to explore their emotional difficulties, to identify and acknowledge what their needs are, and to gain a more objective perspective of the situation that they are in. Therapy serves as an avenue for people to share and not be judged by what they feel or do. We strive instead to understand why they behave in a particular manner and to learn to identify, understand, process emotions, and to be compassionate towards themselves.

Work experience:

I hail from a diverse background of work experiences; hospital, community work, as well as the private setting. With individuals, I have worked with various clients with stress related issues, depression, trauma, anxiety, behavioural issues and developmental delays.

Academic Background

Master of Human Science in Psychology (Clinical & Counselling Psychology) (International Islamic University Malaysia, IIUM)
Master of Computer Science (International Islamic University Malaysia, IIUM)
Bachelor of Computer Science (International Islamic University Malaysia, IIUM)

Approach and Experience

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist and used to be a computer scientist. I work closely with individuals who are experiencing emotional, behavioral, and mental health difficulties. The ranges of cases include mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, obsession-compulsive disorder, interpersonal issues, trauma, emotional disturbances, and any mental health-related condition. I engaged with individuals ranging from adolescents to older adults from different backgrounds. I believe everyone in this world has their struggles and used to have their ways of coping with the struggles. The uniqueness is each individual has their own great potential to be used in order to survive in this epic world. However, along the journey, sometimes, we may deviate from the track, which includes too many obstacles. Due to that, we may feel lost along the way and struggle to find the way back to the track. Yet, it is okay to feel that way as we are all human. Therefore, asking for help and reaching out is an option or probably important to get back on track. Focusing on your strengths and learning from past experiences is vital, which may help us stay on track. I normally adopt Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) in facilitating individuals to progress toward vitality and meaningful life. My previous experience in government and private settings helps me to be flexible in handling diverse clients.

Approach to therapy:

Life today is increasingly challenging for most of us from mild to extreme stress. Form of struggles and emotions can be overwhelming sometimes for individuals. The desire for a peaceful heart is everyone's dream. I strongly believe, everyone has the right to enjoy happiness and to feel better in achieving personal satisfaction. Past may pull and drown us, the future can be motivating yet can trigger our worries. However, both are life lessons. Let it be in our control, you and I can work together. How? We can start focusing on ‘here and now’ and self-care for better life perspectives as well as its journey.

My principle is not to judge, but to celebrate weaknesses, strengths and hardships as human nature. Feeling good can instill a sense of self -confidence and satisfaction in us.

Approach and Experience

My clinical work is primarily guided by systemic and attachment theories. I believe that relationships with friends, partners, and ourselves are strongly influenced by the attachment patterns we learn from our family of origin. Being aware of how you attach to yourself and others will empower you with the "key" to make changes in your own life as well as the lives of your significant others.

I also work with the refugee community in shelters. Having worked with individuals of varying ages, socioeconomic statuses, and niche backgrounds, I've learned to trace and map unmet childhood needs behind how different clinical issues manifest.

My clinical portfolio includes working with clients who are struggling with emotional issues (depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, anger, loneliness) and trauma (repeated divorce, abuse, prolonged grief and loss, bullying).
I speak Mandarin, English, and Bahasa Melayu.
