Testimonials from our students

Read what our students and alumni had to say about our Psychology programmes

"Being a psychology professional in Malaysia can be a challenge as it is the only in the past 10 years that the industry has started growing rapidly. My decision to choose HELP to build my academic foundation in psychology was based on their stellar reputation in teaching. Having graduated with a Master's from King's College London and now completing my PhD in Cambridge is proof of how well HELP has prepared me for my future endeavours in the area of mental health in Malaysia. It started with HELP and, like they say, 'The rest is history."

“My journey through the Counselling programme was an unforgettable one and it challenged me in ways beyond my wildest dreams. The experience of counselling others for the first time, walking alongside clients during their most difficult times and witnessing clients' growth wil be memories forever etched in my heart. Knowing that I am giving a voice to the unheard, being a listening ear to the heartbroken and championing the cause of the marginalised keeps me going when life gets tough. The training, encouragement and valuable feedback received from lecturers and counselling supervisors have been monumental in my overall competency as a licensed counsellor and in running my own private practice today"
