Chen Wen’s passion for mental health was discovered the day she volunteered for Malaysian Mental Health Association (MMHA), a local mental health organisation. Uncovering the persistent, heavy stigma revolving around mental health, she decided to delve deeper into understanding the common issues and challenges faced by the patients and ways to provide the psychological support they needed. With curiosity and compassion, it landed her on the path of becoming a clinical psychologist.
She completed her Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology with HELP University, was trained under supervisors who specialised in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She did her training at the Centre for Psychological and Counselling Services (CPCS), a university psychological center, and Serene Psychological Services, a private center located in KL. She offered psychological assessments for children and adults as well as individual therapy for children and mostly adults. She then received further training under the
supervision of an ACT-specialised therapist and has since then been using ACT as her primary approach, supplemented by attachment-based therapy to work with clients who have been through childhood and family trauma.
Chen Wen greets everyone who comes through her doorstep with the warmest welcome, genuineness and care. She learns that two key ingredients that foster great connections between people are curiosity and compassion. She believes that everyone has a story to tell, she seeks to listen to find out what the plot is about. She helps them to uncover the areas that they might have overlooked, which may seem to be irrelevant but it may eventually become the central point that their story revolves around.
She believes that compassion is a powerful tool. When we start to show compassion to ourselves, we can see the world with more color and shades. We can then make more room for acceptance and growth for ourselves, which can be extended to others. Ultimately we want to create a community where we can feel safe, trusted and connected.

黎倩妏 / 临床心理师
专业资格
心理学学士（荣誉）（马来西亚精英大学）
临床心理学硕士学位（马来西亚精英大学）
专业协会会员
- 会员 (CP1-0317) – 马来西亚临床心理学协会

倩妏对⼼理健康的热忱是在她为马来西亚⼼理健康协会 (Malaysian Mental Health Association, MMHA) 做志愿者的时候逐渐产⽣的。由于⼼理健康的课题在我国还存有⾮常多的争议，她决定带着好奇⼼和同情⼼，⾛上了成为⼀名临床⼼理学家的道路。主要原因是为了更深⼊地了解患者⾯临的常见问题和挑战，以及为他们提供所需⼼理⽀持的⽅法。
她在精英⼤学 (HELP University) 完成了临床⼼理学硕⼠学位，并在认知⾏为疗法 (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT) 和接受与承诺疗法 (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT) 专业导师的指导下接受培训。她也接着在⼤学⼼理和咨询服务中⼼ (Centre for Psychological and Counselling Services, CPCS) 以及位于吉隆坡的私⼈中⼼ Serene Psychology Services 接受了培训。培训的过程中，她见了⽆数的个案，为⼩孩，青年和成⼈提供⼼理评估以及⼼⾥谘商。毕业后，她也在接受与承诺疗法 (ACT) 专业治疗师的监督下接受了进⼀步的培训。她从此以接受与承诺疗法 (ACT) 作为她的主要疗法，并辅以依恋疗法 (Attachment-based theory) 来治疗种种⼼理障碍以及疾病，包括经历过童年和家庭创伤的个案。
倩妏以她的真诚与关怀迎接和温暖每⼀位和她相遇的⼈。她相信促进⼈与⼈之间良好联系的两个关键要素是好奇⼼以及同情⼼。每个⼈的⽣活都承载着不同的意义，⽽她负责倾听，好让诉说者畅谈他们的⼼声及抒发⾃⼰的情绪，从中得到⼼灵上的安慰。她也会和他们摸索故事的主题和变化，来发掘故事⾥的遗漏关键，聆听他们对这些⼈事物的感受和看法，引导他们朝向⼼所向往的⽬的地。
她相信同情⼼是个⾮常强⼤的⼯具。当⼈们开始对⾃⼰表现出同情时，⼤家就能看到世界更多的⾊彩和深浅，促使我们接受⾃⼰与他⼈的长处与短处。最终希望能创建⼀个让⼤家感到安全和信任以及同步成长的健康环境。
