Arina Tengku Azman

Arina Tengku Azman is a counsellor in training completing a Master of Counselling at Monash University. She believes every person deserves to be seen, heard, and supported in a non-judgmental space.

Before entering the counselling field, Arina spent over fifteen years in senior roles in governance and risk advisory, with assignments spanning Asia, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This experience has shaped a calm, grounded approach and a natural ability to connect with people across different backgrounds and contexts. She brings these strengths into her clinical work to build collaborative and trusting therapeutic relationships.

Arina also brings lived experience of grief, caregiving, and motherhood to the counselling space. These experiences have deepened her empathy and her appreciation of the broader systems family, cultural, and social that shape each person’s wellbeing. She is committed to meeting every client with curiosity and respect, and to ethical practice, ongoing supervision, and reflective learning as she continues her professional training.
