Testimonials
Real Stories, Real Impact

Earlier this year, I approached Viriya FSC for family assistance and from the first day we spoke, she [Ms Joey Lim] handled our case very thoughtfully and has provided immense support for me and my two kids, one of whom has special needs. Previously, other social workers from other organisations i have worked with, did not show the same level of care and dedication as Ms Joey.
She is an exceptional and responsible social worker. I believed she extends this same level of commitment to all her clients.

The sessions are beneficial to help my daughter overcome her struggles that she faced temporarily, she looked forward to every session and I was very happy to see that she is open to it.

Dr Tim is very understanding of the points of view of both the patient and family members, and is able to give us assistance and recommendations very promptly. He is also willing to help us talk to external parties such as schools to let them understand the situation better. His pointers are always very clear and precise. Hope to be able to work with him again in future.

Ms Hui Han, was very good and empathetic in her understanding. She gave us the solution and way forward in an easy to understand way always keeping us in the Center of the conversation. It was easy to get an appointment and every step of our journey was transparent.
I will recommend her personally as one of the best professionals we have met in our journey with our child who is now 12 years old.
We wish her the best and are sure she will benefit other special children and parents with her positive kind approach.

I needed help in a dark time of my life and I felt alone as I was very against therapy but the medicine was not doing enough. Having access to this service and Hui Han was instrumental in my recovery. I think things more thoroughly now and I feel more capable to handle my anxiety and depression like asking for help. Thank you Hui Han
