Vanessa Chin

Clinical Psychologist (MAHPC(CP)00267)
RYT-200 Yoga Teacher (431040)

Hello, I’m Vanessa, a clinical psychologist and yoga teacher based in Klang Valley.

I started Ocean Within to live by the values I hold close: giving, helping, and truly listening, even when it meant facing fears of failure. To me, walking this path is a commitment to stay grounded in what matters, even when it’s hard.

my approach

In therapy, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. I’m here to walk alongside you, with presence and without judgment. My approach blends science with soul, integrating evidence-based therapies with a person-centered, values-driven foundation. I draw from:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Mindfulness-based interventions

A note to you

I wish you knew – you are enough, just as you are. As Carl Rogers said,
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
