Shayne Teo

Board of Counsellors Malaysia (K.B.,P.A)

My interest in Psychology began when I was in secondary school, which was a turbulent period full of confusion and frustration. I often asked myself "who am I?" and "why am I living on this Earth?". Being an emotionally sensitive child back then, I felt like nobody understands me.

Along the journey of self-discovery, the more I learn about myself and the people around me, I start to understand that everyone has their own struggles, and our struggle is real. Instead of having the weight of the world on your shoulders, it is okay to reach out when things get too overwhelming. You are not alone in this, okay?

I believe in cultivating our inner strengths and honing our resilience. My aim is to provide you a safe space for self-discovery and to be the best version of yourself. Whenever you're ready to share your stories, I'm here to listen and walk the journey with you.

Testimonials

  • "Shayne is very caring and works extremely hard to understand the issues I have. She helped me through all the counselling sessions so I can organise my thoughts, emotions and behaviours nicely. She also encouraged me to seek professional help and even went out of her way to help me navigate through my first appointment with my psychiatrist. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for her services! Thanks to her, my outlook on life has become brighter than before and I’ve been mindful of my daily achievements and recognize how far I’ve come in life. Thank you Shayne for all your help!"

  • "Shayne has been a great help to me last year throughout my journey. Her advice on how I should handle panic attacks have proven good. I had a panic attack last weekend and the first thought that came to mind was her advice. Thank you so much for all your help and advice! I shall remember them."

  • "I am very grateful that Shayne took me on as a client. She put a lot of time into me and showed me different ways of healing that I didn't know was possible. I so appreciated how she would talk to me about self-compassion, healing from trauma and staying grounded in difficult situations. Going to therapy is a difficult decision to make mainly because of the stigma but she opened my eyes to the reality of the lack of self-compassion due to trauma."

  • “Shayne has been a wonderful counselor, she is the 2nd counselor I've met in my life for counseling services and during my first 2 visits I can already feel her sincerity. One thing that I noticed which really helps me was that whenever I feel emotional, she would give me some time to express all I have and would ask what and why I was feeling a certain way. This really helps me explore and understand myself from a better perspective. Aside from that, I was also taught on ways to protect myself from experiencing gaslighting and was able to be more confidence about myself.”
