About Me
Kuan Foo helps children and adolescents navigate big feelings through play. Drawing on Structural and Gestalt Play Therapy, he creates a safe space for young people to express themselves. Online sessions might involve sand tray, cards, or puppets, offering creative ways to explore challenges. He supports clients to feel empowered, making therapy a gentle journey towards understanding and growth. This approach is ideal for young people needing a creative, non-verbal outlet.
Approach
I guide sessions like a gentle play lab where feelings, movement and story set the pace and the child’s choices shape next steps. Work happens in Tenom or through secure online sessions in English and Mandarin, with materials and prompts adapted to each young person. I follow their lead, reflect themes aloud, and invite simple between-session experiments to practice emotional skills and strengthen behaviour patterns. Families and adolescents seeking a practical, creative route through transitions and conduct challenges often find this way of working helpful.
