OVERVIEW
I specialize in providing emotional and practical cognitive behavior support plans tailored to individuals and families facing challenges related to psychological and health issues, emotional problems, behavioral issues, and learning difficulties. My work encompasses a wide range of conditions, including developmental disorders, brain injury or disease, memory disorders, stress, and anxiety.
With over a decade of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping clients with both short-term care needs and those with lifelong difficulties. I firmly believe that every individual possesses unique capabilities. Through appropriate intervention and mental health support, I assist clients in identifying and honing their best skills, enabling them to achieve their highest potential and work towards meaningful life goals.
I have a proven track record of successfully integrating clients with developmental disorders into mainstream environments, helping them excel and integrate with their peers. As a strong advocate for Autism, I played a key role in developing the "Standard Operating Procedure for handling Autistic Individuals" for the Malaysian Police force.
My extensive experience includes working with a diverse clientele, both local and international. This exposure has given me a deep appreciation for varied cultural backgrounds and practices. I collaborate closely with foreign embassies in Kuala Lumpur to provide mental health and educational services. I am committed to creating a culturally sensitive and comfortable environment for all my clients, ensuring their well-being and progress.
