I value authenticity and meaningful work, and these core values weave through my career journey. I have over 8 years of experience working in international and local non-profits to drive social impact through social entrepreneurship and humanitarian programmes in the Asia-Pacific region. As part of my career specialisation, I've completed a Masters in Counselling (Advanced) and Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling Psychology. I practice as a counsellor who utilises a blend of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness techniques, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) with ongoing professional development in these and other areas. Beyond modalities, I prioritise a person-centred approach in journeying with my clients to reach their goals collaboratively. With an educational background in Counselling Psychology, Communications, and Partnerships, I'm passionate about supporting young people, and adults to foster healthier relationships with themselves and others.My previous work experience in the social sector helped me develop a keen awareness that I enjoy meaningful work. After undergraduate studies, I started my career in the social impact space focusing on social businesses that serve the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) markets. I joined Singapore International Foundation to further my interests in social entrepreneurship by supporting changemakers through the Young Social Entrepreneurs Programme. I observed that social impact rarely happens in silo. Hence, I embarked on a Masters in Tri-Sector Collaboration to deepen my knowledge in partnerships and systems thinking. I then joined Save the Children Asia Regional Office to drive quality programme operations and was deployed to support emergency preparedness and humanitarian responses in the Asia-Pacific region. My key skills include: Counselling, Coaching, Facilitation, Needs Assessment, Case Management, Project & Programme Operations, Partnerships & Development Management, Problem-Solving, Communications, and Writing.I enjoy learning and soaking in nature with my paw-friend during my spare time. I also dabble in creative pursuits like writing, painting, and jamming with my music band. If you're interested in connecting, feel free to contact me at muying.ser@gmail.com :)
