About Me
Hello! I'm Deborah, Director and Founder of Dr Deb–Let's Talk
I'm a Medical Doctor and a Mental Health Counsellor with a vision to empower individuals, couples and families to live their best lives! I bring a unique blend of clinical insight and emotional understanding to the table. Having experience in both medicine and mental health means I see more than just one part of your story. I help you connect the dots between how you’re feeling physically, emotionally, and relationally — so you can start healing in every area, not just one.
For those who are interested, I also offer the option to include a spiritual perspective in our sessions, integrating faith with evidence-based counselling. Many find this deeply helpful in bringing wholeness not just to the mind, but to the heart and soul too.
So, Here's My Story
I’m married and a proud mum of three — our home is filled with love, laughter, and yes, the occasional chaos that comes with family life! While I began my career in medicine, I found myself deeply drawn to the emotional and mental wellbeing of those I cared for. That led me to pursue further training as a mental health counsellor.
Dr Deb – Let’s Talk was born from a desire to create a safe and welcoming space — a space where people feel seen, heard, and supported, whether they’re navigating personal challenges or seeking growth in the workplace. Life can be complex, but I believe healing begins with conversation — and no one should have to walk through it alone.
My Approach
In counselling, I provide a private and confidential space where you are the focus. Whether we meet in person or online, the sessions are designed to help you address what matters most to you — whether it’s overcoming challenges, gaining clarity, or simply understanding your feelings better. You set the pace, and together, we’ll work towards achieving the goals you want for your mental well-being.
I understand that there can be hesitancy or concerns around seeking counselling, but I am commited to create a safe space where you can feel comfortable to open up, free from judgment. My role is to support you in exploring your thoughts and emotions, and to help you make practical changes in your life that align with what you truly want.
Personalised Counselling for YOU
I offer counselling for individuals in areas such as anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Sessions are available in-person in Petaling Jaya, or online for those who prefer the flexibility of virtual support — whether you're based in Malaysia or connecting from abroad. Flexible packages are available to suit your needs. You can learn more about the areas I cover and available counselling packages here.
