About Us

Dasein Moment

"Dasein" means "being-there".

Every joy, sorrow, and soul-stirring moment we experience stems from the simple fact of our existence. It is this very “presence” that grants us the freedom to choose, to create meaning, and to realize our true selves.

Life is not a pre-written script; it is a collection of “present moments.” In this very moment, you carry the memories of your past while nurturing the possibilities of your future. At Dasein Moment, we are dedicated to honouring the autonomy of every individual. We are here to accompany you through the ebb and flow of life, helping you reclaim the authorship of your own self and your destiny.

What we cherish is the meaning of our existence, here and now.

In this moment, meet your true self; from this moment, let your existence bloom.

Shuang Ao

A counsellor who says “hi” to dogs he met

Two significant experiences of loss and grief in my life were the catalysts that led me into the field of counselling.

What I once thought were merely seasons of pain turned out to be the beginning of a profound journey, one that expanded my understanding of life and existence. Every experience we encounter, be it heartache, moving moments, or pure joy, reveals the immense breadth and depth of our being. I believe that every life is bravely narrating its own story, and every story deserves to be tenderly told and heard.

I am deeply inspired by the philosophies of Humanism and Post-modernism. I cherish the common humanity we all share, as well as the irreplaceable uniqueness of every individual. I hold a firm belief in our innate creativity to construct meaning and the courage required to truly become ourselves. In our sessions, I lean into the perspectives of Narrative Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Existential Therapy to facilitate a meaningful encounter with every person I meet.

“We are here at this moment” will one day become “we were once here.” In the space and time between those two points, let us journey together, and allow the stories you love and cherish to unfold within your life.

Hui Yin

A counsellor who is occasionally socially anxious, yet deeply treasures every connection

I am a registered and licensed counsellor who believes that healing begins in a space of safety, compassion, and genuine connection. I work from a systemic lens, drawing on approaches in marriage and family therapy to support individuals, couples, and families as they navigate relationships, life transitions, and experiences of loss and change.

I also draw on expressive arts approaches to bring creative and experiential elements into sessions. Through art, movement, and reflection, I support clients in expressing what words sometimes cannot, and in discovering meaning within their own stories.

Over the years, I have worked across NGOs, schools, refugee communities, and universities, journeying alongside people from diverse walks of life. In addition to counselling, I facilitate talks, workshops, and outreach programmes that promote mental health awareness and emotional well-being.

In my work, I seek to create a space that feels safe and grounding, where people are welcomed as they are, and can feel heard, supported, and reconnected with their own inner wisdom and strength. I see healing not as fixing what is broken, but as honouring the resilience that already exists within us.

Yuee

A counsellor who loves wandering through imagination

My three key words are: to accompany, to allow, and to choose. 

At times, we need meaningful and quality companionship, — someone who helps us feel heard, seen, and understood. In that space, we begin to feel more at ease and a little closer to ourselves. 

Growing up, our life experiences often taught us what we should or should not be. Yet counseling helps me pause and look inward, exploring my inner needs – to allow my feelings, to slow down, to accept that I don’t have to be strong all the time… 

Life is not limited to just a single path; there are always choices. Counselling helps me become aware of these possibilities—perhaps I can live in ways that feel more genuine and aligned with who I am. 

Hi, Yuee here!  

I am a licensed and registered counsellor (KB11836; PA11453) under the Board of Counsellors of Malaysia, and I graduated with a Master of Education in Guidance and Counselling from UPM. I have been working closely with adolescents. In recent years, I’ve also had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of individuals—from different age groups, backgrounds, beliefs, and life experiences. These journeys have nurtured in me a heart that embraces both our shared humanity and uniqueness.  

I believe that counseling is not an intrusion, nor a means of forcing change. Rather, it is a gentle process of seeking balance within one’s life, in this present moment.

Su Wen (Dasein's Guest)

A curious and introverted child living behind the counsellor’s mask

I am here because I believe every person is the expert of their own life, holding a map that guides them along a meaningful journey.

With each step forward, healing begins in subtle ways — through the gentle pause that brings quiet insight, the softening of shoulders, the relief in a sigh, and the permission we give ourselves to simply be in the here and now.

Through exploration, awareness, and touches of creativity, we journey side by side. At times, we may gently shift our gaze to the scenery along the way and notice, “Look how far we have come.”

I feel honored to be invited into this journey with you — to hold a supportive and attuned space where there is room for both struggles and strengths that shapes alternate experiences.

I trust that beyond the misty roads ahead, there are clear and beautiful skies waiting for us. And perhaps, with that in mind, it is worthwhile to take that first step… don’t you think?
