If you are looking for a counsellor to help you with depression or anxiety or you are struggling with any past traumatic events, I hope you have found the right person. I am an Integrative Counsellor and have worked with Individuals, couples and families for over 12 years, in Canada, Hong Kong and UK. I am always excited to see my clients being transformed around two months and they often see my therapy for them as a life changing experience.
About me and my practice
I am an Accredited Professional Counsellor with the NCPS. I am also a BUPA RECOGNISED COUNSELLOR/ THERAPIST (Provider No: 30049007). I see myself as a Person-Centred and an Integrative Counsellor. I have worked with Individuals, couples and families.
There are a few theories that underpin my practice, namely, Client-centered Therapy, Trauma-informed Therapy, Positive Psychotherapy, Guided Imagery Therapy, Structural Family Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). The reasons for choosing those theories are because most of my clients are depressed, who experienced traumas and panic attacks, some with very low self-esteem, and others struggled their relationships with their family members. Throughout my experience, I have found that Client-centered Therapy as a foundation in helping me to build rapport and promotes a safe climate for my clients to experience a sense of unconditional positive regard, openness and acceptance.
My experience includes working and healing with those who are depressed or have anxiety issues that are a result of relationship difficulties, work related stress, bereavement, sexual abuse, childhood traumas, post-traumatic stress, cancer and other health related issues.
My recent practice has a trauma informed element when needed. I work with Guided Imagery to help my clients to gain insights of why they may be triggered in the now which might limit them. I support clients to rebuild themselves with a new frame of reference. So by the end of the treatment cycle, my clients can be more empowered with a strengthened sense of self-worth.
