I draw on EFT, ACT, IFS, CBT and Trauma Sensitive Yoga-informed somatic work.
I work with thoughtful, capable adults seeking trauma counselling, grief support or help with anxiety, overwhelm, chronic stress and burnout. Many have spent years carrying responsibility for others while finding their own needs harder to include. I offer culturally attuned, in-depth therapy for complex trauma, relational difficulties, fertility experiences and life transitions. I work with couples ready to slow recurring patterns, strengthen emotional attunement and build more connected ways of relating. My warm, paced approach combines insight with body-based practices to support safer choices, self-trust and meaningful change.

Counsellor, MC, ACA-L2
Brisbane City, QLD 4000
Waitlist for new clients
I am a Brisbane-based bilingual counsellor specialising in Complex PTSD (CPTSD), developmental trauma, and long-standing relational patterns shaped by early or chronic trauma (such as emotional overwhelm, freeze, dissociation, flashbacks, and toxic shame).
With nearly 20 years of counselling experience across China and Australia, I hold dual Master’s degrees in Mental Health and Counselling (Australia), as well as a Master’s degree in Psychology (China). I primarily work with Chinese-speaking clients and provide culturally attuned counselling for those navigating complex trauma and relational difficulties.

I work with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, depression, OCD, grief, sleep difficulties, and burnout, drawing on cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, DBT skills, and schema therapy.
Many of the people I work with are capable and well used to coping. Anxiety, low mood, or stress that has built quietly over years has reached a point where managing alone is no longer working. Some people come after a specific event, and others cannot point to one thing at all. Together we work out what is holding the pattern in place, then build a way forward you can actually use, at a pace that keeps you steady.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
