About PsyAsia
 
 
  PsyAsia's  Development    
 
The "idea" of PsyAsia International was conceived by our principal director during his time working in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In his three and a half years there, he was teaching MBA Human Resource Management for the UK's University of Leicester and also set up and managed a psychometric assessment consultancy. His work spanned the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Lebanon and Kuwait. At the end of this 3.5 year period, the consultancy was handed over to an interest party and still run by them today. PsyAsia then came into being with an initially limited presence in Singapore and Hong Kong. Over the years, this presence has grown remarkably and PsyAsia has spurned into 2 separate business entities in these two territories. PsyAsia International is the official name of the Hong Kong business and in Singapore we are PsyAsia International Pte. Ltd. Following tremendous website hits and enquiries from prospective clients in Australia, the Middle East, Malaysia, Pakistan and the United Kingdom, PsyAsia added representative offices in more locations both in Australasia and Europe.
 
  PsyAsia's Focus    
 
PsyAsia International works all over Asia as well as in Australia, the Middle East and Europe (including the UK). We are a team of professional associates (mostly organisational psychologists, but also human resource consultants, test administrators, trainers and counselors) dedicated to organisational and human resource development, training and consultancy based on underlying psychological principles. It is our focus on scientific, evidence-based psychology at the core of our Human Resource and Training activities that separates us from those providing similar services in the HR field.
 
  PsyAsia's  Pride    
 
PsyAsia International is a vibrant and innovative business. We pride ourselves on the science underneath all of our solutions and excellence in client service both in terms of delivering solutions and query response/resolution times. A vast amount of the work we do is repeat business. Another large chunk of our work comes from major corporate clients who have left our competitors following poor service delivery and other issues.
 
  PsyAsia's Geographical Reach    
 
PsyAsia International has clients throughout the world. Clients from anywhere in the world are welcome on our public courses. Additionally, most of our in-house courses can be delivered anywhere in the world, although our major focus and area of greatest experience and expertise is Asia (especially Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia), the Middle East, Australia and the UK. Even so, our ethical approach, professionalism and passion for excellence have seen us running courses and carrying out consultancy for clients outside of these areas in, for example, Africa or the USA.

  PsyAsia's directors    
 
PsyAsia's directors, based in Hong Kong and Singapore, have incredible levels of professional education, alongside zeal and passion for the Asia Pacific workforce.

One of our directors is a published, UK and Australia trained Organizational Psychologist, Chartered Scientist, member of the Australian and British Psychological Societies and recipient of a British Psychological Society award for Scientific Contribution to Occupational Psychology. He has people management experience in addition to experience of teaching cross-culturally on MBA programs to multi-national CEOs for a top UK University and developing and managing an organizational consultancy and training organization in the Middle East before relocating to both Australia and Asia. A fully Registered Psychologist in Australia, he spent his PhD years (University of Queensland, Australia) studying links between personality and performance, primarily in Asia. He also holds an MSc in Occupational Psychology (Nottingham, UK), a BSc (Hons)(London, UK) in Psychology and a Diploma in Stress Management Training. He is an Associate Fellow of the Hong Kong Psychological Society (AFHKPsS) and a member of the British Psychological Society's Register of Competence in Occupational Testing for both Levels A (Ability Tests) and B (Personality Assessments), additionally, he is a member of the Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management (M.I.H.R.M [HK]) and an international affiliate of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology. He previously worked as an MSc in HRM Lecturer for the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and is currently a visiting lecturer at a number of Asian universities. He has worked in both teaching and HRM consulting roles for local, government and multinational organisations worldwide, including Nigeria, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, PRC, Macau SAR, Hong Kong SAR, Australia, UK, Saudi Arabia and Oman. At the current time, he is a resident of both Singapore and Hong Kong and commutes between these two cities and travels around Asia and the world to deliver his sought-after training and consulting solutions. As a practitioner, he applies his skills on a daily basis in many of Asia's most well known companies and for government bodies. He balances this practical slant with academic teaching and publications in international peer-reviewed journals. He is also a reviewer for the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology conference (USA) and the Journal of Personality & Individual Differences, as well as a supervisor for intern psychologists from Australian universities. With a passion for charitable works and giving back to society, he was nominated for the Wesley Hospital "Ideals in Action" award in 2005 and has been recognised for voluntary services with an honorary life membership from the British Red Cross Society.

Our second director is a qualified counselor with a Masters degree from Hong Kong University and experience in counselling within the Hong Kong government sector. Speaking English, Cantonese and Mandarin means that she is accessible to a wide range of people in our focus region. With experience of research, teaching and supervising counselling and social work subjects and students respectively, a wide knowledge of the current counselling literature and extensive experience in career and personal counselling with Hong Kong locals, she is well placed to assist in PsyAsia's workplace counselling programs as well as with our online individual career analysis and counselling clients at testingyou.com. Her published research has received international attention at counselling conferences.

PsyAsia also has a non-executive director in Singapore. Whilst empowered to act on behalf of the company, he spends the majority of his time running a corporate services company.
