How did DMCS begin?

Pandemic Crisis

        The inception of Discover Myself Counseling Space was originally referred to as the Discover Myself Counseling Session, marking its commencement in April 2020, just a month after the onset of the pandemic. The primary aim was to guide individuals on navigating mental and emotional challenges arising in the wake of the pandemic. DMCS initiated its online operations, leveraging psychoeducation to raise awareness through various social media platforms. Recognizing the profound impact of the pandemic on individuals' mental and emotional well-being, it became imperative for each person to foster a heightened awareness of their personal responses.

        With a background as a campus minister for thirteen years in Every Nation Campus Ministry Philippines, Cecelia Sy has extensive experience working with individuals facing mental and emotional challenges. While engaged in ministry, she encountered students and church members dealing with such issues and began addressing their needs through counseling sessions. This pivotal experience motivated her to pursue a career in counseling.

        For the past thirteen years, Cecelia Sy has been coaching students and young adults as a life coach and clinical Christian counselor. She earned her Master of Arts in Pastoral Counseling from the Asian Theological Seminary in June 2017 and successfully passed the board examination for Registered Guidance Counselor in August 2018. Emphasizing the belief that each client possesses a unique path to personal growth, she approaches her work with the conviction that individuals have inherent internal strength to overcome life's challenges.

       Cecelia Sy extends her knowledge  as a resource speaker on mental health at universities, organizations, companies, and churches. Her valuable insights have been featured in interviews on Victory Fort, Teleradyo, and 702 DZAS - FEBC Radio.
