About Justin

Hi, I’m Justin—a licensed and registered counsellor and a registered psychologist passionate about helping people find clarity and strength during life’s most challenging moments. I’ve worked in the mental health field for over 18 years, and today I serve as the Deputy Director of the Monash Fledge Clinical Psychology and Counselling Centre. I also teach in the Counselling Program at Monash University Malaysia, where I train and supervise future counsellors. My experience spans private counselling, teaching, supervision, and corporate training. This experience allows me to support clients with practical tools and deep empathy.

​​

I have a special focus on supporting adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I understand the unique challenges ADHD brings—such as difficulties with focus, emotional regulation, and decision-making—and I work collaboratively to help you build strategies that fit your life. As a certified practitioner of ACT Interventions for ADHD, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you manage symptoms while living a meaningful, value-driven life.​

​

In addition to ADHD, I work with individuals in crisis and couples in distress. In our sessions, you can expect a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings, gain deeper personal insight, and make decisions aligned with your values.

Beyond counselling, I’ve spoken widely on stress management, communication, and career decision-making, and my work has been featured in MyStarjobs, Reader’s Digest, and BFM Radio. My goal is simple: to help you move forward with confidence and purpose.
 

When I’m not working, I’m a proud dad of three and a husband who loves his daily latte, smooth jazz sessions, and reading about tech and AI.
