I empower my clients to live an independent and fearless life using CBT and EMDR. By working with me, you’ll not only be able to cope with your past but also plan for a thriving future. We’ll achieve this by building a powerful psychological toolkit: a collection of practical techniques uniquely designed for you. These include relaxation, coping, assertiveness, resilience & stress management tools & a bespoke psychological roadmap (formulation). These tools will allow you to step back from triggering situations, notice unhelpful patterns in your thoughts, behaviours and emotions, respond mindfully & break free from old patterns.

As an integrative clinical psychotherapist, I offer a personalised approach to support individuals in their journey toward healing and self-discovery. By integrating various therapeutic modalities, I tailor my interventions to meet the unique needs of each client. Clients who come to me are often grappling with complex life issues, including unresolved emotions, past traumas, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and a sense of disconnection. They seek a safe space to explore their innermost thoughts and feelings without judgment, aiming to gain deeper self-understanding and clarity about their place in the world.

Asian Counsellors

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.

How can I recognise an effective Asian therapist?

You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.

What if the therapist does not have my exact background?

The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?

A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?

The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
