Anders Sim Young

Educational Therapist & Guidance Counsellor

Hi, I’m Anders, a counselor and educational therapist dedicated to fostering value-centered living. My personal philosophy guides my practice, empowering clients to align their lives with core values. I believe socio-emotional learning begins in early childhood, and I bring this approach into my work with students, integrating emotional development and educational growth to build a strong foundation for lifelong well-being.

In my free time, I enjoy reading books and watching movies on psychology, piecing jigsaw puzzles, spending time in nature, and working out, all in the pursuit of personal holistic wellness.”
