Connecting counselling practice, Islamic-integrative research and public mental health education.
I am a Registered Counsellor and Psychology Officer (Counselling) with the Ministry of Health Malaysia. My work spans counselling practice, mental health education, research and community engagement.
I hold a PhD in Counselling from Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah (UniSHAMS). My doctoral research examined an intervention integrating Reality Therapy and Tazkiyah al-Nafs (TR-TAN) in relation to self-compassion, or ihsan kendiri, among adolescents experiencing mental health difficulties.
I also hold an appointment as Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Centre for Lifelong Learning (C3L), Universiti Brunei Darussalam. My teaching contribution is centred on Basic Counselling and Communication Skills. Across these roles, I aim to bring clinical experience, careful research and accessible teaching into the same conversation.
Areas of Work:
Counselling practice: Mental health counselling within public health and community settings.
Research: Reality Therapy–Tazkiyah al-Nafs integration, Islamic self-compassion and counselling intervention evaluation.
Teaching: Counselling and communication skills, reflective practice and culturally responsive care.
Public education: Talks, writing and digital resources that make mental health knowledge more accessible.
