Dr. Lee Sook Huey
Clinical Psychologist (Malaysia)
It takes a great deal of motivation and courage to seek help from a mental health professional, and I’m glad you’ve taken this important first step toward a more fulfilling life. When something troubles us deeply, we can become so immersed in the problem that it’s difficult to take a step back and view it from a broader, more objective perspective. Just like being lost in a forest, having a bird’s eye view may help us find the way out. I hope your journey in therapy will help you gain clarity, broaden your perspective, and empower you to work through challenges more effectively.
I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology through a joint program between Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris and Universiti Sains Malaysia, as well as a Master of Clinical Psychology from HELP University. I am trained to help individuals enhance their psychological well-being through comprehensive assessment, accurate diagnosis, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. I have been practicing since 2014, with more than 10 years of clinical experience across diverse settings, including government hospitals, psychiatric clinics, chronic pain clinics, a rehabilitation center, private psychological centers, and shelters.
From the beginning of my journey as a clinical psychologist, I have had a strong interest in family and child mental health. At KIN & KiDS, I work with children and adolescents facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, neurodevelopmental differences, school refusal, and selective mutism, as well as adults experiencing mood and sleep disturbances, procrastination, and attention-related concerns. I conduct psychological evaluations for both children and adults, including evaluations for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, specific learning disorders, and other psychological conditions.
I am registered with the Malaysian Allied Health Professions Council (MAHPC) and am a member of the Malaysian Society of Clinical Psychology (MSCP). I adhere to the American Psychological Association’s (APA) Code of Ethics, so you may be assured of a safe and professional encounter. I also regularly participate in continuous education to maintain and expand my clinical skills. In addition to being a clinician, I serve as an adjunct lecturer at Bible College Malaysia, where I teach topics related to child and adolescent psychology and abnormal psychology.
Your therapy journey will begin with an intake session, during which I will listen carefully to your concerns and work with you to set clear, specific goals. Subsequent sessions will focus on helping you tap into your inner strengths and develop new coping strategies—such as developing more flexible ways of thinking, behaving, and connecting with others. My therapeutic approach is grounded primarily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). For children, I incorporate play therapy and work closely with parents through consultation and family intervention.
You are welcome to speak with me in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Malay, or Hokkien—whichever language feels most natural and comfortable for you.
