About me
I am a dedicated counsellor based in Australia with a rich multicultural background, having grown up in Malaysia. I am fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, and Malay, which allows me to connect with a diverse range of clients in their preferred language.
My passion for helping others is deeply rooted in my belief in the power of understanding and empathy. I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and heard. Recognising that each person’s cultural context plays a significant role in shaping their experiences, I take a culturally sensitive approach to counselling.
I strive to build strong, positive therapeutic relationships with my clients, offering genuine care and guidance to help them navigate life’s challenges. I believe in fostering a space where clients feel comfortable sharing their stories and working towards personal growth within their unique cultural perspectives.
When I’m not counselling, I enjoy immersing myself in music, getting lost in a good book, or taking a swim to unwind.
