Dr. Deviga Marappan

Registered Counsellor

As a Registered and Licensed Counsellor, I bring a wealth of knowledge and extensive experience to the field of Guidance and Counselling. My academic background underscores my commitment to the highest standards of professionalism and expertise.

Fluent in English, Malay, and Tamil, I connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds, providing tailored support. I specialise in working with school students, adolescents, university students, and individuals experiencing prenatal and postnatal depression. Additionally, I excel in marriage counselling and addressing stress and depression-related concerns.

I have made significant contributions to my field through several inventions and publications in counselling and psychology. My research demonstrates a dedication to advancing our understanding of human behaviour and mental health. As a lecturer in psychology and counselling, I have had the privilege of educating the next generation of professionals.

I have conducted numerous workshops on various aspects of mental health, including stress management, depression awareness, and self-love. These workshops empower individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate life's challenges effectively.

My multifaceted background enables me to approach counselling with a holistic perspective, addressing the diverse needs of individuals across different life stages and circumstances. I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings, fostering positive mental well-being. Through my passion, dedication, and experience in counselling, I strive to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those seeking support and guidance.
