Natalie Andrina Petrus holds a Master’s Degree in Professional Counselling from Monash University Malaysia and a Bachelor’s Degree (Hons) in Psychology from HELP University. She is a licensed and registered counsellor under the Board of Counsellors of Malaysia. She is also a certified autism spectrum disorder clinical specialist (ASDCS) and a PEERS® School Based Certified Provider that focuses on providing evidence-based social skills treatment to preschoolers, adolescents, and young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, and other socio-emotional problems.
Natalie often likens counselling to cooking. The first time can be a little messy, and the process takes a lot of courage, being open to learning and growing are key ingredients and it is much easier when you have a helping hand. She believes that recipes are merely a framework to cooking any dish. Hence, she strives to make counselling sessions a safe place that embraces your individuality and personal strengths by using the ingredients you already have in your kitchen and finding a good blend with them whilst also supplying you with the right tools to assist you in the process of creating a dish you’re proud of.
Sophia-Joy is a dedicated counsellor-in-training who has completed a Master's Degree in Counselling from IMU University and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the University of Nottingham Malaysia. With a background in ABA therapy, she has worked closely with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ranging from 2 - 17 years old. This experience has greatly deepened her beliefs that with a safe, supportive and nurturing environment, every individual can navigate challenges one step at a time.
Recognising that life inevitably comes with challenges, she strives to create a space where students feel heard, valued and empowered to navigate life's ups and downs with confidence. She is committed to walking alongside them in their journeys, creating a safe space to freely explore their thoughts and feelings while building resilience and essential life skills.
Currently, Sophia is in the process of obtaining her counselling license from the Board of Counsellors of Malaysia.
