Hi! My name is Yu Sung (She​/​Her)- I was born and raised in a multicultural country, Malaysia, and is now practicing as a counsellor in the vibrant Melbourne. Previously, I have supported adolescents, young adults, and parents with problems such as body image, loneliness, friendships, family, intergenerational trauma, anxiety, and more. I am trauma-informed, queer, and culturally aware- I am here for individuals who feel invisible​/​ ostracized by the bigger environment and want to work on their inner wounds. In my practice, I believe in dynamic integration of various counselling models to support my client's self-discovery and healing as I see the therapeutic space as a ground for collaborative exploration rather than a "one-size-fits-all" treatment. I strive to provide a safe, reflective space for you to open up and dive into things that you do not understand about yourself! Oh and in my free time, I love a good matcha, collecting trinkets, taking a stroll, and indulging in horror​/​thriller movies :)

Why the Spoony community matters to me

The need to connect and feel belong is rooted in everyone's foundational psychological needs, and the Spoony community fulfills that through offering an affirming, warm, and inclusive space to individuals who have experienced marginalization in their lives.
