About Me.
Hey there, I am Phoebe Ng. Welcome to My TheraSpace or should I call it YOUR TheraSpace? I am a registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) who is based in Sydney, Australia. I am originally from Malaysia, an incredibly diverse country, which explains why I am able to speak 5 different languages/dialects such as English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Malay and Hokkien.
I’ve completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychological Sciences in The University of New South Wales (UNSW) and a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling in Western Sydney University (WSU).
Aside from working as a mental health therapist at My TheraSpace, I’ve also worked as a student counsellor at Melbourne Institute of Technology (MIT), Sydney. I am currently working as a Cognitive Skills Brain Trainer, aiming to strengthen clients’ cognitive skills.
My hobbies are reading and working out. My favorite book genre would be Psychological Thriller because the plot twists are always unexpected and mind blowing. I love doing pilates as well as some strength training in the gym.
About Me and My TheraSpace.
I set up My TheraSpace because I simply want to help.
Growing up in a dysfunctional and abusive family, I became well aware of the importance of mental health at a very young age. This led me to taking my first psychology course during A Levels program. Learning about the human mind makes me have a deeper understanding of my family and in some ways, relieved me.
At a critical point of my life, I decided to seek out therapy and begin my healing journey. My counselor is warm, friendly and skillful. For the first time in my life, I felt like my thoughts and feelings matter. No prescriptions or medications were given to me but yet, every single time I left the therapy session feeling light. That was when I understood the power of talk therapy.
With my own experience with therapy, my interests and passion for psychology and counselling grew exponentially. I traveled to Australia to further my education and now here I am, setting up my very own private practice and aspiring to help others who are in need of help.
