Chinese Counselling Service (Counsellor interns supported by National Tsing Hua University, Master’s in Psychology and Counseling Program)

Counselling is a journey where students are supported by counsellors to explore their thoughts and emotions, which guides you to discover ways to enact positive changes. This process not only provides emotional support but also helps you understand yourself, manage your emotions and behaviors, and improve relationships with others. Though challenging, the outcomes are beneficial, liberating, and self-fulfilling.

At KLC International Institute, we aim to be your trusted companion, walking on this wellness journey with you. While we provide professional guidance, you are the expert on yourself.

All information shared in sessions will be kept confidential unless required by law. Here, you have a safe space for sharing and expression.

Benefits of counselling include: 

  • Improving emotional expression and management 
  • Enhancing self-awareness for personal development 
  • Gaining clarity so as to better focus your attention 
  • Improving your ability to establish and maintain meaningful relationships 
  • Enhancing your efficiency and coping skills 
  • Facilitating the decision-making process and maximizing self-potential
