Tracy Lim Saw Tuan
Counsellor
Tracy Lim is a Licensed and Registered Counsellor with LKM since June 2018. Tracy has
extensive experience supporting individuals and couples experiencing emotional and
relational distress.
Tracy specialises in couples therapy, helping partners understand their
negative interaction cycles, rebuild emotional connection, and strengthen their relationships.
Tracy began her journey in counselling as a para-counsellor in NGOs while pursuing her
counselling studies in 2009. During this time, she worked with victims of domestic violence,
individuals in abusive relationships, and clients facing various forms of relational trauma.
Through these experiences, Tracy observed how painful relational patterns often repeat when
emotional wounds remain unresolved. These early experiences shaped her belief that our
relationship with ourselves and with others plays a central role in many of life’s struggles.
Tracy provides a safe and supportive space for clients to explore and process their emotions.
Her therapeutic approach focuses on helping clients better understand their emotional
experiences, strengthen their sense of self, and develop healthier and more secure connections
with others.
Tracy is a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist (EFCT) and is trained in
Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is
an evidence-based approach that helps individuals and couples understand emotional patterns
and transform negative relationship cycles into more secure and supportive bonds.
Tracy is also a Clinical Supervisor registered with the Malaysian Board of Counsellors
(LKM) and provides supervision for counsellors in their professional development.
Tracy actively participates in Emotionally Focused Therapy trainings and professional
development workshops. She has also completed various trauma-related studies, including
Trauma Stress Studies.
Tracy is currently the co-leader of the Malaysia community for Emotionally Focused
Therapy (MASEFT). She is a member of the International Centre for Excellence in
Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT), the Melbourne Community for Emotionally
Focused Therapy (MCEFT), and the Malaysian Marriage and Family Therapy
Association (MyMFT).
