MORE ABOUT ME
I have more than 10 years of counselling experience in educational and community settings. I have done my counselling training at Taiping Prison and was the first Chinese counsellor assigned as the in-camp counsellor for Malaysia’s National Service Training Program (PLKN) in 2011.
Currently, I am focusing on Employee Assistance Program (EAP) development and consultation, providing counselling for families, couples, teenagers, individuals, personal development etc. Before this, I held the position of Head of Counseling Centre at INTI International University.
I would also volunteer actively in various non-profit organizations by giving mental health-related talks and providing counselling services.
