FAQ

Telos is a Greek word which means “goal”, “aim”, or ”purpose”. Aristotle, the famous Greek philosopher popularised the usage by explaining it as, “the inherent purpose of any thing” or “the ultimate reason for each person being the way they are”. At Telos Mental Wellness, we believe in providing affordable, accessible, and supportive therapy sessions. Head on to our “Story” section to find out more about us!

All the therapists here at Telos Mental Wellness are licensed and registered counsellors with Lembaga Kaunselor Malaysia. Each of us holds Master-level qualification from accredited universities.

We provide mental health screening services and individual counselling. You can choose to have your sessions online or have them in-person at our cosy space located in Subang Jaya.

Going to your trusted others is a great way to get support, but it’s not the same as talking to a therapist. Therapists provide you with an unbiased “outside” perspective that is different from what your friends may see. Sometimes people worry that if they share their problems with their friends, then they will be burdening them or that their friends will treat them differently. A therapist is a professional whose job is to support you non-judgmentally. Hopefully it will feel more comfortable for you to talk about your problems, which will make it easier to get effective help.

Session durations are typically 60 to 75 minutes. Our main goal is to ensure you felt that enough time was given for you to share your thoughts with us. At Telos, we don't rush the process as well as your appointment.

The number of sessions will depend on your unique situation as well as your goals for attending therapy. Most people require between 6 - 12 sessions. However, it is helpful to keep in mind that just like life, your mental health can be an undulating journey. It is perfectly normal if you require more sessions to get you where you want to be than you first thought necessary.

We are more than happy to share what we know about anything related to mental health. We have facilitated many workshops on topics such as depression, stress management, various domains of personality, mindfulness, helping skills, and self-care. If you have a topic you would like to propose for us to conduct with your group, do reach out to us here.

Our pricing for training and workshops vary based on the size of the group, the materials needed, as well as the duration. Contact us here for more information.

Yes, since we offer online appointments as well, we are open to working with clients in East Malaysia or are currently in foreign countries. However, this is also subject to the degree of urgency and support for your situation. Your therapist may make a recommendation to refer you to other mental health services if it is deemed necessary.
