Counsellors in Malaysia are registered by the Malaysian Board of Counsellors, or locally known as Lembaga Kaunselor Malaysia (LKM). The LKM board exists to supervise the regulation of counselling practices, with practicing counsellors registered, licenced, and formally recognized under the Malaysian government’s Counsellor’s Act (580). As of 2019, AIA Malaysia, part of the AIA Group Limited companies, has stepped up to offer insurance benefits with an enhancement to its original medical plan, now including benefits for mental health. Although the plan is not specifically applicable to counselling, AIA states on their website that customers of their A-Plus Health plan will be able to claim up to RM1,500 a year in psychiatric consultation fees when visiting any private or government hospital, and that the benefit will cover six mental health conditions, which are Major Depressive Disorders, Postpartum Depression, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive-compulsive Disorder and Tourette Syndrome, which is a promising move towards mental health inclusion, advocacy, and aid in Malaysia.
