Yun Shiuan (Yun), Mental Health Therapist

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

When life seems to be hitting us with endless waves of tsunamis, it can feel like everything is broken and out of control. Though it certainly feels that way, I believe we are not broken, just stuck. So if you allow me to, I would like to walk with you and we can figure out how to get unstuck together. Who knows, we might also discover something interesting while we are at it because life is not just about getting unstuck, it is also rich and meaningful. Our journey ahead is not an easy one, and I am committed to supporting you throughout. I will not claim that I know exactly what you have been through and/or are going through now. I can only promise to listen with no judgements, provide you with a safe space to share your story, and walk with you in the direction you choose because you are the expert of your life. So, would you give me this chance to know you?

As for my counselling experience, I have worked with clients facing issues with relationships, family concerns, anxiety, self-exploration, stress, trauma etc and I mainly incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in my sessions.

  • "Yun Shiuan carries herself professionally and I felt safe during our sessions together. I went in with a number of issues but she was able to help me prioritise and thanks to her, I managed to work through them at my own pace. She would respectfully challenge me when needed, which was effective in keeping me on track. Thank you for doing what you do!"

  • “Thank you so much for your service. During the time of our sessions, you were very supportive and the approach you used was really very helpful for me. It made me more mindful and aware of my emotions. All the activities that we did in our sessions helped me to move on with my daily activities despite all those emotions I had. I still use them now even after our sessions. Thank you so much”
