My Story

Hello, I’m Su Jung Suk. My journey into supporting children began long before I formally trained as a counsellor. After moving from South Korea to Hong Kong at 21, I spent ten years at the Korean Consulate listening to families share their hopes, worries, and the challenges of raising children far from home. Their stories stayed with me.

​

When I later moved to Singapore, I experienced those same challenges myself. It was during this time that I felt called to study Counselling Psychology so I could better understand how to support children and families through big transitions, emotional struggles, and identity changes.

 

Working with adults taught me something important: many of our difficulties begin in childhood. That realisation changed the direction of my work. I wanted to help children earlier—before their worries become heavy and before their behaviours become misunderstood and ingrained.

​

This is why I specialise in Play and Creative Arts Therapies. Children communicate through play long before they communicate through words. Play gives them a safe, natural way to express emotions, build confidence, and make sense of their world—especially when they feel overwhelmed or cannot explain what they’re feeling.

​

I’m part of a multicultural family with my husband who is British-Chinese and my grown up sons who were raised in Singapore.  I speak Korean, English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, so I deeply understand the experiences of Third Culture Kids and families navigating life between cultures.

​

My goal is simple: to create a warm, safe space where children feel understood, parents feel supported, and every young person is given the chance to grow emotionally, socially, and confidently.
