About
Welcome to Eve Lim Mental Health Therapy!
Based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I am a mental health therapist and a certified sexologist (#25433, American Board of Sexology), practising from a foundation of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). I believe in a holistic approach that interweaves emotional, cognitive, and physical wellness.
My work is trauma-informed, cultural sensitive and grounded in empathy and an understanding of the cognition and body’s role in emotional healing. From an attachment lens, I support clients in connecting with their emotional experiences as a pathway to clarity, resilience, and personal growth.
I offer both in-person and online sessions in a space that is safe, collaborative, and attuned to each client’s pace and needs.
In addition to my counselling practice, I contribute as a columnist writing on mental health, sexuality, and gender issues. I am also honoured to serve as a council member for AWAM, a leading Malaysian organisation dedicated to advancing gender equality and social justice.

My Life Experiences
Before entering the counselling profession, I spent over a decade in business and finance. This background gives me a grounded, solution-focused approach and a deep understanding of the pressures many clients face in both professional and personal settings.
I also published a book based on that journey — a reflection on the lessons, challenges, and personal growth that came from building a venture with heart and intention. These valuable experiences continue to shape my therapeutic work, reminding me to practise with compassion and empathy.
As a mother, advocate, and lifelong learner, I bring a wide range of lived experiences into the room — offering a non-judgmental space. I strive to meet each client with openness, respect, and a commitment to supporting their growth on their own terms.

"Seeking therapy felt intimidating at first, but Eve created a safe, supportive space where I could truly open up. Her compassionate approach and deep understanding helped me navigate my anxiety and past trauma. Every session felt personal and purposeful. I now feel more confident, balanced, and in control of my life."
- Former client, Kuala Lumpur
"Eve really knows how to get to the root of the issue. She is very knowledgeable, the way she explains things is clear and on point.
Have been spending thousands on personal growth program, sessions with Eve finally let me see my "truth" and I finally came out from same loops and patterns that I've been stuck in for years."
- Former client, Petaling Jaya
“因爲原生家庭的問題和個人的病，加上自己的性向，從小覺得自己是妖怪，也很怕給人家知道。看過很多心理醫生，我感到Eve的不同。她很有人文關懷，因爲她把我當成正常人看待。我終於覺得我不是神經病，我是一個人。
她是我的貴人，幫了我很多。喜歡她的幽默和坦誠，讓人很心安。“
- Former client, Kuala Lumpur
"Married 6 years, we used to argue a lot until it started affecting the kids. Working with Eve opened our eyes. She helped us understand each other better and taught us how to build secure attachment, not just for us, but also for the kids. Now when something feels off, we go to her before it escalates. She’s earned our trust at the deepest level."
