Morty is a ACA-registered counsellor with a passion for supporting individuals and couples facing a variety of challenges, including substance dependency recovery, addiction support, parent coaching, couple challenges and general mental health. With a culturally sensitive, person-centred approach, Morty provides bilingual counselling services in English and Mandarin to adolescents, young adults, and adults aged 18–60.

Morty has worked extensively with clients facing addiction recovery, family dynamics, cultural transitions, and personal identity concerns. This diverse expertise allows Morty to tailor therapeutic interventions, drawing on methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and the Gottman Method for couples.

When working with substance dependency recovery, Morty integrates mindfulness-based interventions, narrative therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in managing dependency, withdrawal, and relapse prevention. For couples, Morty offers tools to navigate communication barriers and foster intimacy. Additionally, Morty provides support for students and young professionals adjusting to academic and cultural pressures, offering a safe space to explore identity, manage stress, and build resilience. As a proud LGBTQIA+ ally, Morty ensures that all clients feel seen, understood, and respected.
