The strongest predictor of whether therapy works is whether you feel you can talk to the person sitting opposite. Read through, notice who you'd find easiest, and start there — you can always change your mind.
Most people aren't, and it isn't a silly question — the two roles overlap more than the labels suggest.
Both are trained therapists. Whoever you see will tell you honestly if you'd be better served by the other, and we'll move you across without you having to explain yourself twice.
Our counsellors are registered with Lembaga Kaunselor Malaysia and hold a current practising certificate — the KB and PA numbers on each profile. Our clinical psychologists hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology and are trained to carry out psychological assessment and diagnosis, which counsellors don't do. Beyond that, the day-to-day work of therapy looks much the same.

Lynnette spent more than a decade in the corporate world before training as a counsellor. She's seen the boardroom pressures and the human struggles underneath them and that has shaped how she works. As a licensed counsellor and co-founder of re:mind Psychology Center, she works with individuals and couples through psychological, mental, and emotional challenges, taking things that feel heavy or hard to explain and making them something they can actually work with.

Lynnette came to counselling the long way round. After obtaining her degree in Psychology, she spent over fifteen years in corporate life, specifically in HR, industrial relations, and leadership, across companies like local conglomerates, MNCs and start-ups, before going back to completing her Master of Counseling at the University of Malaya.
That background is a big part of how she works now. As a licensed counsellor and co-founder of re:mind Psychology Center, she helps individuals and couples work through psychological, mental, and emotional challenges. She’s trained in a range of approaches, from acceptance and commitment therapy to sandplay and expressive art, weaving them seamlessly depending on the needs of her clients.
Having lived in both the corporate world and the therapy room, she’s comfortable in each. She knows the language of performance and pressure as well as the language of grief, anxiety, and self-doubt, and she moves between them easily; whether that’s sitting with a couple through a rough patch or helping an organisation build a healthier culture.

Sammy works with adults, couples, families, and children navigating emotional overwhelm, recurring relationship patterns, self-worth struggles, life transitions, anxiety, and disconnection. She supports people who may have some insights of themselves, yet still feel stuck in how to act differently.

Sammy is drawn to the parts of us that don’t always have words yet: feelings held in the body, restlessness, or patterns that keep repeating even when we’re trying to change. I believe curiosity, rather than judgment, helps us understand what we need to feel more settled and secure. Coming from a collectivistic background, I also see many struggles as relational. Therapy can be a safe base to explore how you cope, protect yourself, and reach for connection—whether with yourself, your partner, family, or child—and practise new ways of showing up with greater attunement, grounding, and connection.

Alice believes there is no particular way you have to be in therapy with her. You may arrive feeling lost, overwhelmed, uncertain, or not quite knowing what you want to talk about yet.

Alice believes there is no particular way you have to be in therapy with her. You may arrive feeling lost, overwhelmed, uncertain, or not quite knowing what you want to talk about yet. She hopes her sessions can feel human and unforced, a space where you can exhale, take your time, and show up as you are without judgment. Her background in science and organisational work has deepened her curiosity and openness in understanding what has shaped each person, and how certain patterns or ways of coping may have developed along the way. Together, you can gently approach parts of yourself or past experiences that may feel difficult to face, building greater self-compassion and resilience in the process. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Alice brings creativity into the work as you explore what matters to you and find a way forward that feels true to who you are. Outside the therapy room, she enjoys taking photographs, reading, and having deep conversations with friends, most of the time with a cup of coffee nearby.
