We believe that our clients deserve a counsellor who is not only professional and trained, but one who is also motivated by a genuine desire to help. Counsellors at the Olive Branch work with clients to resolve issues so that they can move forward with their lives and are not dependent on counselling for years to come. They learn to make important changes and are equipped with tools provided by the counsellor to begin a new journey towards a more fulfilling life of purpose, meaning and greater joy.

Jaque Ng, I began my work in community services by participating as a volunteer for nearly 20 years. In 2011, I enrolled to study a Master in Counselling and took courage to start a journey to serve full time in community services. With knowledge and skills I have obtained from my counselling and training & development programs, I could deliver my counselling service effectively. From a volunteer to a fulltime counsellor, I found this journey was a humbled experience. It taught me to listen with my heart, to show my compassion and to stay attune to my passion towards those who I met, clients, caregivers and those serving in this work. Having to say been in this community services work for decades, I learnt that this is a kind of work requires continued learning, not only upgrading knowledge and skills, also from people I meet in all walks of life. Thereafter, I will integrate my collective learnings and use them in my practice to benefit those people I serve. Nonetheless, I do take pride of my counselling practice because I love my work and I strive to have good, positive and perseverance attitudes to deliver my service.
