About Shelagh...

I have a Master degree in Counselling Psychology along with being trained in Acceptance and commitment therapy, and Compassionate inquiry. I am a coach/trainer specialising in Communication skills, Mindfulness and Mindful Self-Compassion.

Over my many years in Private practise, in Malaysia and abroad, I have had the opportunity to provide the empathy, encouragement, guidance and support needed for the clients under my care to work through whatever difficulties and challenges they are struggling with so they can have happier emotionally healthier lives.

I have been a practicing psychologist since 2004. working with individuals, couples, and families around a variety of issues that limit life, fulfillment, meaningful connection, and success. I trained in Canada and the UK; have consulted internationally and am registered professionally in British Columbia, Canada.

During my time in private practise, I have been profoundly honoured to support, inspire, encourage and guide my clients to not only heal, but thrive and grow on their journeys in life.

My therapeutic approach is integrative; I incorporate acceptance and commitment therapy modalities, Gestalt techniques, inner-child work, visualization, and meditation – tailored to the needs of each client. By combining elements drawn from different schools of psychological theory and research, therapy becomes a more flexible and inclusive approach to caring and supporting my clients.
