Are you feeling overwhelmed by life and searching for a way forward? Welcome, I’m Ann, a bilingual counsellor from Taiwan offering sessions in both English and Mandarin. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and moments of uncertainty — those who want to feel more confident, grounded, and at peace. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your inner strength — so you’re not operating on autopilot or reacting solely from your nervous system, but instead responding with awareness, agency, and self-trust.

My approach is integrative and experiential. We pay attention to what is happening in the present moment — your thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. By noticing these experiences together, we can better understand the patterns beneath the surface and find ways of responding that feel more aligned with who you are and what you need.
