Hello everyone,

Many of you may already know that I recently became a father. As a new dad, this journey has allowed me to truly understand how challenging it is to become a parent, especially for new mothers.

Beyond the physical pain and discomfort, there is also the emotional and mental exhaustion, particularly from the long periods of sleep deprivation. We all love our children deeply, and that is never in question. But at the same time, we cannot deny that this transition into parenthood brings intense and sometimes overwhelming changes to both our body and mind.

It is not because we are not strong enough. It is because this role, by nature, is not easy.

One day, Dr. David shared with me his idea of starting a “Group Therapy” for new mothers. I agreed almost instantly, within half a second. Because I truly believe this is something that is deeply needed.

Many mothers are not lacking strength. They simply lack a safe space where they can openly share their exhaustion, their worries, and the emotions that are often left unspoken.

To help introduce this Group Therapy, I also suggested that Dr. David conduct a free online talk, where he can share psychological tools and insights to help mothers better prepare for and adjust to the role of becoming a mother.

If you are a new mother, an expecting mother, or someone who knows a friend who may benefit from this, I warmly encourage you to join this free online talk.

The talk is open to everyone and free to attend.
The Group Therapy sessions, however, will be available to those who are based in Kota Kinabalu.

We hope that through this initiative, every mother will know:

You do not have to go through this alone.

Chinese New Year was never as “automatic” as we thought

When we were younger, Chinese New Year felt effortless.

It simply happened.

The house was cleaned.
The food appeared on the table.
Relatives gathered.
Everyone was there.

It felt natural. Expected. Almost guaranteed.

We never questioned it.

But as we grow older, we begin to see something we could not see before.

Chinese New Year was never automatic.

It was held together by effort.

Someone had to apply for leave months in advance.
Someone had to book flights, sometimes at uncomfortable hours.
Someone had to travel long distances.
Someone had to set aside their own exhaustion.

And someone had to keep the tradition alive.

Not because they had to.
But because they wanted everyone to still have a place to return to.

As a clinical psychologist, I have also come to realize something else.

For some people, Chinese New Year is joyful.
For others, it is complicated.

It may be a time when unresolved tensions resurface.
A time when difficult conversations cannot be avoided.
A time when expectations quietly sit in the room, even if no one speaks them aloud.

And for some, it is a time when the absence of someone is most deeply felt.

This is why Chinese New Year is not just a celebration.

It is an emotional space.

A space filled with memory, effort, love, and sometimes pain.

When we understand this, something shifts.

We stop taking presence for granted.

We begin to appreciate the quiet effort behind togetherness.

We begin to realize that what makes Chinese New Year meaningful is not perfection.

It is presence.

It is the fact that people still choose to show up for one another.

Not because everything is easy.

But because the relationship still matters.

Over time, we may also learn that creating a safe and supportive emotional environment within the family is just as important as maintaining the traditions themselves.

Because what people remember most is not the food, or the decorations.

It is how they felt.

Seen. Accepted. Comfortable.

Or not.

And sometimes, the most meaningful thing we can offer each other during Chinese New Year is not perfection.

It is understanding.

🧠 Therapy for Self-Doubt & Imposter Feelings (Adults) 🌱

Self-doubt and imposter feelings happen when you constantly question your abilities, downplay your achievements, or feel like you don’t truly deserve your success even when others see you as capable. Many adults experience this quietly, especially at work or during life transitions.

🧠 What is Therapy for Self-Doubt & Imposter Feelings?
This therapy helps you understand where self-doubt comes from, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and build a healthier, more confident sense of self. It’s not about becoming arrogant but about learning to trust yourself and your abilities.

💡 Signs you may benefit from support:
🔸 Feeling like you’re “not good enough” despite achievements
🔸 Fear of being exposed as a fraud
🔸 Overworking to prove your worth
🔸 Difficulty accepting praise or recognition
🔸 Constant comparison with others
🔸 Anxiety linked to performance or expectations

🌼 How therapy helps:
✨ Builds realistic self-confidence and self-trust
✨ Challenges negative self-talk and comparison
✨ Reduces performance anxiety and pressure
✨ Strengthens emotional resilience at work and in life
✨ Helps you recognise and own your strengths

Self-doubt doesn’t mean you’re incapable but it often means you care deeply and hold high standards. With the right support, you can show up with confidence, clarity, and self-belief.

🌟 Employee Mental Health & Workplace Wellbeing 🌟

We’re pleased to share that our Counsellor, Mr. Charlie Wong, was invited as a speaker for the HR Summit 2026: Borneo Rising, where he presented with the title “From Burnout to Belonging: Rethinking Mental Health at Work in Sabah.” 🙌✨

This conference session focused on workplace mental health and wellbeing, highlighting how burnout is not an individual weakness, but a systemic issue shaped by work culture, leadership, and psychosocial safety. The session brought together HR professionals, leaders, and organisational representatives to explore practical ways to build healthier, more sustainable workplaces.

💬 During the conference, participants explored:
✅ Why burnout is a system issue — not a personal failure
✅ Hidden signs of burnout reflected in performance and behaviour
✅ The role of psychosocial safety in building belonging at work
✅ How silence, fear, and pressure affect productivity and retention
✅ The impact of burnout on absenteeism, presenteeism, and staff turnover
✅ How leaders and managers shape daily psychological safety
✅ Practical, early mental health management strategies in organisations

The session emphasised that belonging strengthens performance, and that psychological safety is not a “soft topic,” but a core part of risk management, leadership responsibility, and organisational sustainability.

Participants were encouraged to rethink performance management, move away from fear-based systems, and adopt everyday practices that support openness, fairness, and early intervention. 💙

🙏 A sincere thank you to the organisers of HR Summit 2026: Borneo Rising for providing a meaningful platform to raise awareness on workplace mental health and to encourage healthier, more resilient organisations in Sabah.

Together, we can move from burnout to belonging where we help in creating workplaces where people feel safe, supported, and able to perform at their best. 🌈✨

🎓 Starting College? Emotional Support for a Smooth Transition 🌱✨

College is exciting with new freedom, friends, and opportunities but it can also bring stress, homesickness, and pressure to “fit in.” Many students quietly struggle during this transition.

💡 Common signs a student may need support:

🔸 Homesickness or difficulty adjusting to independence
🔸 Sudden changes in mood or irritability

🌟 Mental Health Talk | Emotions Are Not the Problem 🌟

We’re honoured to share that Mr. Chong Tin Fung, Clinical Psychologist from MY Psychology, was invited as a guest speaker to conduct a mental health talk at Sabah Tshung Tsin Secondary School.
This meaningful session, titled “情绪不是问题｜Emotions Are Not the Problem”, focused on helping students better understand emotions and mental health during adolescence. 🙌✨

The talk aimed to help students recognise that emotional struggles are not signs of weakness, but important signals that deserve understanding and care. Through relatable examples inspired by Inside Out 2, students explored how emotions play a vital role in decision-making, relationships, and personal growth.

💬 During the session, students explored:
✅ Why emotions are not something to suppress or “fix”
✅ Common myths about emotional management (e.g. “just think positive”)
✅ How adolescence often comes with stronger emotions and self-doubt
✅ What healthy emotional management looks like — noticing, understanding, and choosing wisely
✅ How to support friends emotionally without rushing to give advice
✅ The importance of being present, listening, and validating emotions
✅ Why self-awareness is the foundation of empathy and positive leadership

👉 Students also reflected on their own “emotional headquarters,” learning that challenges often arise not because emotions are too strong, but because certain emotions are not acknowledged or understood.

Through reflection and discussion, students gained meaningful insights into what it truly means to be a supportive companion — creating space for emotions, showing empathy, and building genuine connection. 💙

The session also highlighted an important reminder:

You cannot pour from an empty cup — supporting others starts with taking care of yourself.

🙏 Thank you to Sabah Tshung Tsin Secondary School for offering a caring and supportive space to raise awareness about mental health among students.

By working together, we can help build a generation that is emotionally aware, supportive of one another, and resilient in the face of challenges. 🌈✨

🎒 Therapy for School Transition Anxiety (Children) 🌈

Starting a new school year, entering kindergarten or Primary 1, changing schools, or returning after a long break can feel overwhelming for some children. Changes in routines, environments, teachers, or social expectations may trigger anxiety — even if your child can’t fully explain how they feel.

🧠 What is School Transition Anxiety Therapy?
This therapy helps children feel safe, confident, and emotionally prepared for school changes. Using play-based approaches and emotional coaching, we support children in understanding their feelings and learning healthy ways to cope with school-related stress.

💡 Signs your child may need support:
🔸 Crying or distress before school
🔸 Stomach aches or headaches on school days
🔸 Refusal or strong resistance during drop-off
🔸 Increased clinginess or separation difficulties
🔸 Sleep problems before school
🔸 Behaviour changes such as irritability or withdrawal

🌼 How therapy helps:
✨ Helps children express and understand emotions
✨ Builds coping skills and emotional regulation
✨ Increases confidence in new routines and environments
✨ Improves separation confidence and independence
✨ Supports parents with practical transition strategies

School transitions can be challenging — but with the right support, children can approach change with confidence, calmness, and emotional security.

Feel like you’ve tried everything?

Does your daily life feel like a cycle of "emotional brakes" failing, throw tantrum, school refusal, or digital battles?
As parents, we often feel like we’ve tried everything, yet the gap between us and our children seems to grow.

In the world of a child, toys are their words, and play is their language.
Play therapy provides a safe, professional space for children to process big, overwhelming emotions they don’t yet have the words to describe.
If you recognize your child's struggle in any of these illustrations, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
Let’s work together to turn these overloads into understanding and connection.

Our Play Therapy Journey
• Initial Parent Consultation: A parent-only session to discuss your child’s history, share concerns, and understand the therapy process.
• The Therapeutic Process: A recommended cycle of 12 sessions (40–50 mins each). We use a blend of talk, art, and play to help your child process emotions and achieve therapeutic goals.
• Mid-Point Progress Review: A parent-only meeting around the 5th session to discuss progress observed at home and in the playroom.
• Closing Review: A final meeting near the 12th session to review goals achieved and provide practical strategies for continued support at home.
