Anders Sim Young

I am an empathetic and compassionate individual with a passion for psychology, counselling, and social work. I find great fulfilment in helping others through my guidance, enabling others, as well as myself, to grow as individuals to our best potential. Currently enrolled in the Masters of Guidance and Counselling course in James Cook University (Singapore), I have a keen interest in understanding and unpacking relationship and family dynamics through counselling, and I am seeking a career that lets me utilize and develop my skillsets through learning and new experiences so that I can provide the highest standard of care to clients through my career.
