Jun Wei Counselling and Psychotherapy
About Me
I’m Jun Wei (he/him), a counsellor, researcher, and educator working at the intersections of LGBTQ+ mental health, family therapy, and cultural sensitive therapy in Southeast Asia.
Whether you are an LGBTQ+ individual, a parent struggling with acceptance, or a therapist seeking supervision, I am here to support you with care that is affirming, science-based, and deeply human.
My work is rooted in:
My practice is rooted in the belief that healing happens through safe, connected relationships. Over the years, I’ve worked with LGBTQ+ individuals navigating family rejection, loneliness, and conflicts within their couple relationship.
I have also worked with parents learning to understand and reconnect with their LGBTQ+ children. Across every story, I’ve seen one truth: parent cares. And that’s what the Parent CARES-LGB program is built on.
What Sets My Practice Apart
📜 Industry-Recognized Couple and Family Therapy Training
I hold an Advanced Certificate in Couples and Family Therapy from a COAMFTE-accredited program —
the highest standard in the industry's systemic therapy training — and has shaped the way I work with couples and families.
🌏 Leading LGBTQ+ Mental Health Research in Southeast Asia
I lead LGBTQ+ mental health research in the region, with peer-reviewed publications and clinical studies that inform how therapy is done across Southeast Asia. My work supports clinicians, educators, and advocacy groups in building LGBTQ+ affirming care. See my work on Google Scholar.
💞 Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFIT)
I’ve completed intensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and am a certified EFIT therapist. This evidence-based approach guides my work with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating attachment injuries and emotional disconnection.
👪 Creator of the
Parent CARES-LGB Program
I designed Parent CARES-LGB — a first-of-its-kind, research-studied intervention in Asia — to support parents who have difficulty accepting their LGBTQ+ children. The program helps families move toward understanding and reconnection.
🏆 Top Graduate and

I graduated top of my class in both my BSc in Psychology (First Class Honours) and Master of Professional Counselling (Best Graduate across the Malaysia and Australia campuses). I’m now completing my PhD at The University of Hong Kong, supported by the university’s most competitive full scholarship — the HKU Presidential Scholarship. (HKU is ranked among the top 20 universities globally.)

I’ve presented at leading conferences like the American Counseling Association and the National LGBTQ Health Conference, and was invited to run professional workshops at the University of Hong Kong.

I bring not just compassion and presence, but also the deep preparation to support complex and nuanced journeys — especially for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples and families.
