Individual Therapy in Petaling Jaya
you don't need fixing.
you never did.
Therapy for adults, in person in Petaling Jaya or online.
you don't need fixing.
Does this sound like you?
"When someone says I did well, I think they're just being nice."
"If I ask for help, am I troubling them?"
"Something is wrong with me."
"I keep replaying that one comment."
If you've said any of these to yourself, I truly hope you know that you're not alone -
and however heavy things feel, there is hope.
What therapy with me is like
The first session is about getting to know you – your story, what’s been weighing on your mind, and what you’re hoping for if we work together.
There’s no pressure to answer anything you’re not ready to answer. If a question doesn’t sit right, we leave it.
And you don’t need to know what to say before you come. Anxious, tired, nervous, motivated, unsure –
just come as you are.

Who I'm not the right fit for
Therapy with me may not be the right fit if:
You need immediate support for your safety.
If you're in crisis or at immediate risk, please go to your nearest emergency department or contact a crisis line — you need support that's available right now, and I can't offer that between sessions.
You're looking for couples or marital therapy.
That's a distinct specialization and I'm not trained in it. I'd be more than happy to point you to someone who is.
