Cantonese Counselling in Hayes

過去所受的創傷或當下的生活困難，有時候會令我們心情焦慮、迷茫或困惱，感到難以前行，也許你對自己的人生方向不甚確定，也許你拚命努力，卻收效甚微，也許你忙於應付生活中的大小事項，身心俱疲。誠實面對自己的難處，尋求外界幫助，並不是軟弱，而是相當勇敢、值得肯定的行為。心理諮詢提供一個安全、接納與支持性的空間，讓你面對和處理互相矛盾、令人困惑的感覺和經歷，這是邁向自我接納、自我理解、療癒和改變的重要一步。你投入得越多，從諮詢中得到的收獲就會越大。我深信每個人都具有療癒和成長的可能。對你來說，什麼是生命無可取代的意義和價值？找到意義感能夠讓你連結改變自己生命軌跡的內在動力。我們在諮詢室中共渡的時光，將會成為你療癒和成長過程中的穩固基石，讓你產生新的內在力量來處理生活中的困難，並激發你的生命潛能。

我們每天都會面對大小不同的困難和挑戰，有時候因著各樣原因難以與別人分享，唯有獨自面對。或許你會覺得困惑和迷茫，這種無力感有時甚至會令你感到窒息，苦無出路。近年有不少來到英國生活的港人因為要適應新環境，在社交、工作或學業上遇到挫折，對自我形象和價值感到懷疑。如果你也有類似的經歷，你可以透過心理輔導去重新探索自我，認識自己的情緒，從而更有效面對困境和自身的需要。

I am a registered clinical psychologist in the UK and Hong Kong, and a Certified Advance Schema Therapist and Supervisor from ISST. I have also been certified as a mindfulness trainer from Canada. I speak English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. I have extensive experience in treating complicated cases such as Trauma, Eating Disorders, PTSD, DID, Personality Disorders, OCD, and Mood Disorders. I am particularly experienced in treating people with pervasively negative life patterns, which applies to both individual and couple therapy.

I am an experienced psychologist in providing psychology therapies and behavioural change interventions to promote mental wellbeing and healthy behaviours. I worked in a wide range of psychology contexts including clinical mental health, forensics, health, communities, and universities. My work with the NHS specialises in chronic pain management and other long-term health conditions. Throughout my clinical practice, I specialise in working with people presenting difficulties in mental health and physical health, as well as in major life adjustments/transitions (e.g. bereavement, relationships, settling in a new environment).

I'm here to support you every step of the way! Life can be challenging, and there are moments when we all feel lost and unsure of where to begin. But don't worry, I understand what you're going through, and I'm right here by your side. Share your thoughts and concerns with me. Together, we can navigate through this difficult time and find a path forward. With over 10 years of experience in counselling and mental health services, I specialize in addressing traumatic experiences, and couples and family relationships, as well as providing support for individuals dealing with addiction, depression, and anxiety.

Life can be challenging and difficult at times. Psychotherapy is a space you can gift yourself, a space to be held and to explore possibilities. I provide a safe, open, and gentle space for you to connect and explore. Healing and growth come from connecting with people who see us and understand us. Crisis and issues in life often point us towards areas in our lives that are calling for some attention, although sometimes it is hard to see when we are in it. They often invite us to take a closer look at our lives and to find ways to live more fully and freely. I will be there to walk beside you and support you along the way.

Constantly in survival mode. Can't dig yourself out of your depression; don't have any energy. Feeling guilty for not being able to get yourself out. Believing that you are broken, empty and will never get out of this. You feel like a burden to the people around you and try to hide your depression. You feel lonely. IMAGINE a life that feels motivated and happy, that depression no longer dominates. Problems no longer stress you out like they used to, but are challenges that you feel motivated to find your way out of. You can see yourself BECOMing a better version of yourself.

If you find yourself grappling with intense stress, anxiety, or depression, and feel trapped in patterns that disrupt your well-being, I'm here to offer a safe and supportive environment. Together, we'll work towards easing emotional turmoil and striving for inner peace and equilibrium in your life. I'll assist you in reclaiming mastery over your thoughts and emotions, fostering resilience, and guiding you towards a more enriching and purposeful existence.

My previous career as a scriptwriter has led me to be particularly attended to clients' narratives. Each individual has their unique story to tell. Each contains elements of significant people,conflicts, struggles and resources. It may impact the way we see ourselves, others and the world. By engaging in the process of therapy, we may open up new possibilities and to rewrite our stories.

When it comes to relationships, do you • Find it hard to say no to people? • Find yourself doing all the heavy lifting, but feel people often take you for granted? • Feel left out, lonely and resentful? NOW IMAGE YOURSELF • Saying no to people without feeling guilty • Genuinely looking forward to spending quality time with others • Being clear and firm with other people about how you feel • Being open and honest about how you feel, without worrying about the other person’s response.

How are you feeling? Are you having a difficult time at the moment? ​I work with a diverse range of people dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression and low mood, stress and burnout, trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, and low self-worth. As a mixed-race therapist who has lived in several countries, I have a particular interest in identity, belonging, feeling 'different', disconnection, cultural differences and migration issues.

My name is Yingli Wang. I am a self-esteem counselling specialist and a mother-daughter relationship connoisseur. In my self-esteem counselling, I help women overcome low self-esteem and self-worth issues, and transform “Not-Good-Enough-Syndrome” into your innate strength and resilience. I also work with relationship and family issues, which are often rooted in unresolved childhood trauma and unconscious relational pattern. In additional to counselling, I am a certified Mother-Daughter Relationship Therapist & Coach. I help women free up from mother wound and associated mother-daughter pain, so these women can forget a new path.

As you have arrived at this page, I imagine you are looking for some help – either for yourself or someone you know? Sometimes it’s not easy to ask for help when we need it. Seeing a therapist can be a scary idea but I know that seeing one helped me through some difficult times. Counselling and psychotherapy offer a safe space for you to speak about your concerns and difficulties without being judged or criticised. Whatever your presenting issues, concerns or goals may be, I would like to reassure you that you will always be accepted and be treated as a unique individual.

I specialise in working with personality disorders EUPD, young people, exam stress, trauma, pstd, bereavement, sexual abuse, generalised anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, low-self esteem, depression, stress, existential crisis, self harm, life transitions, sex and relationships and familial conflicts. I adapt my practise to each individual's needs and can provide (DBT) Dialectical Behavioural Therapy aimed at helping with distress tolerance and interpersonal relationships. I will work with you to help gain a better understanding of the cause of these issues and find ways to move forward.

Each one of us struggles in life at one point or another. When the difficulties in life feel too much to manage on our own, counselling and psychotherapy offer a confidential and safe environment in which we can explore these difficulties and find the direction to lasting changes. Often our current difficulties have their roots in the past. Problems emerge when we stick to our old ways of coping. Counselling can help us make links to the past and find more adaptive ways of coping. It can help us to tune in to our emotions and thus understand what matters the most and what needs to be changed.

Do you find yourself repeating patterns of behaviour that lead to the same unhappy outcome time after time? Are you ever overwhelmed by negative thoughts, feelings or beliefs that stop you moving on in your life? Is the voice of your own inner critic sometimes so loud that you are stricken by panic or frozen with fear? Maybe you are alone or part of a couple and longing for intimacy that never comes? If any of these experiences ring true, I can give you the support you need to find the direction and meaning that has gone missing from your life.

I offer professional psychotherapy and counselling services to adult clients and teenagers who are experiencing psychological distress or living with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, and/ or chronic illnesses. The ultimate goal is to empower my clients to excel themselves with self-compassion and confidence and to live a life with pride, respect and love to self and others. I strive to serve with heart and create a safe and secure space for my clients to excel with mental health wisdom and confidence.
