My journey
During my early career days as a corporate professional, I was constantly navigating roles that demanded resilience, adaptability, and growth. While these roles were fulfilling and promising, something in me felt amiss. These experiences combined with my personal journey inspired me to pursue formal education in mental health and the helping profession. This shift not only deepened my understanding of human behavior but also laid the foundation for a more meaningful and fulfilling career.
Aside from providing therapy to individuals as a licensed mental health therapist, I also undertake leadership roles and founded companies like Collab and Soul Space - focusing on holistic wellbeing and mental health, respectively.
I have collaborated with clients such as but not limited to Selangor Dredging Berhad (SDB), Carsome, and Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology (TARUMT) - from developing wellbeing programme, crafting personalised solutions to consulting to improve organisations’ wellbeing initiatives. My passion and expertise also allowed me to be a part of speaking engagements on mental health and wellbeing related topics for clients like but not limited to Bursa Malaysia, Grab, AIESEC and Reskills.
In a world where productivity, achievements and busyness are encouraged and celebrated, we may unknowingly drift away from self understanding and be caught up in just existing, but not living. I believe change starts with awareness and knowledge— seeing the patterns and shifting focus from the game to the ball. When we are being intentional, it creates a strong foundation for self exploration and sets path for a more fulfilling lives.
This starts with exploring how you are a port in the storm, an anchor and the source of clarity, fulfillment and healing.
What Drives Me: Helping others unlock their potential and create lives they find fulfilling and most aligned.
What I Believe: Growth happens when we approach life with curiosity, openness, courage, and compassion.

"Renée’s approach is a blend of wisdom, empathy, and expertise. Whether it’s career, relationships, or personal growth, her coaching sessions have been a lifeline for me. I truly feel that she cares about my success as much as I do."

G.C.
“It's been great having someone like Renee to guide me on the 4 month journey of mending my relationship with shame. Using great leading questions and visualisation exercises, I was able to actually create a bond with these challenging emotions and talk to them, rather than suppressing them and feeling negatively about them. I feel liberated, and I'm left with powerful tools that I can use to deal with other difficult emotions that might come up in the future. I feel much more amicable with the sides of myself that I would otherwise ignore or push way. Huge gratitude and appreciation to Renee!”

J.S.K.
"I used to be a chronic procrastinator, constantly feeling stuck and unproductive. Renée helped me identify what was holding me back—fear of failure—and guided me to break tasks into manageable steps. One breakthrough moment was organizing my environment, step by step, something I’d put off for years. With Renée’s coaching, I now have a system that keeps me focused and productive in a sustainable manner both at work and in my personal life."
-
J.K.
"As someone who used to struggle with understanding my own feelings due to having subconsciously suppressed them after going through difficult times relating to anyone growing up, I used to suffer from social anxiety disorder and depression. It made coping with personal relationships and work difficult, especially since living with mental illnesses meant I would often jump to the worst case scenario. However, after having a year of sessions with Renée, I am not only able to now better conquer my inner demons, but also gain a much more profound understanding of myself and my emotions. Instead of pushing away my emotions, I have learnt to now embrace them and let them guide me in making sensible choices without being overwhelmed by them. It was a wonderful journey of self discovery I embarked on with Renée and I am forever grateful to her for helping to pull me out of the dark. If you are still on the fence whether to seek out professional help or not when you are struggling, please hesitate no more and have confidence in Renée to help you become a better version of yourself, you deserve to love yourself."

C.L.
"I have been having sessions for 3 months with Renée, primarily dealing with past traumas and how they affect my behavioural patterns in the present. Instead of spoon-feeding me, she asks me meaningful questions that make me think, ultimately leading to me making my own discoveries regarding the chains and patterns that are binding me and how I can break free from the past and live my best life. I look forward to continuing this journey with her!"

"Thank you Renée for creating this safe space and building the trust for me to open up as I've always had issues with trust. I was doubtful about therapy at first but she made it easier for me because she never pressured me nor rushed me into the process. She took the time to understand my concerns and how difficult it was to talk about my issues. Sessions with her enabled me to learn about my fears and anxieties, then to see my strengths beyond that, and it has helped me acknowledged that I can gradually take charge towards the life that I want for myself."
