Jonathan PAE MYINT

With a background in software development, Jonathan made a meaningful career transition in 2020 to support vulnerable individuals and communities affected by adversity, and this shift ultimately led him towards a career in counselling. 

Jonathan began formally learning counselling through training programmes offered by Counselling Corner and Seit mate Swe, and committed himself to building a career in the field. His initial practical experience came through facilitating workshops that raised awareness of wellbeing through creative activities such as clay and Art. These experiences strengthened his interest in supporting others’ emotional wellbeing and informed his path as a counsellor. 

Jonathan believes that everyone deserves a safe, non-judgemental space to be heard, and uses a person-centred approach, offering empathy, respect, and acceptance. Committed to positive change, Jonathan hopes to help young people in Myanmar grow up free from generational trauma, fully aware of their mental health and wellbeing, and equipped with the emotional tools they need to thrive.
