Cantonese Counselling in Hevingham

Are you facing challenges that seem insurmountable, leaving you feeling hopeless? Do you find yourself overwhelmed by emotions or circumstances beyond your control? Together, we'll embark on a journey to address these issues and explore your goals. Throughout our collaboration, we'll delve into our psychological experiences, including thought patterns, behaviours, and past events. If you're someone curious about self-discovery and eager to take proactive steps to improve your life, I'm here to help.

Are you struggling with some stressors and worried that you’ve developed some depressive, anxiety or post-traumatic stress symptoms? Are you feeling bothered by some traumatic experience and wanted something to be changed? I have been specialized in the treatment of anxiety, trauma and relationship problems for many years and work as a clinical psychologist for more than 20 years. I've got experience working in the community setting in Hong Kong and the NHS. Most of my clients have provided positive feedback for my psychological services.

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.

I offer counselling for individuals and I am also a certified Imago relationship therapist, trained to work with couples and family members. I offer you a safe, confidential space to explore those difficult moments in your life. My work reflects three core beliefs: Being genuine, so you can successfully explore the issues that have brought you to seek help. Being accepting and empathic, giving you the opportunity to increase your self-understanding. Providing a non-judgmental and safe place to share your experiences as we work together. I am warm and understanding towards others. I am also a broad-minded Counsellor.

In an ideal world, everyone should have someone, they can talk to. But the world isn't ideal and talking to someone you know may be difficult, or even problematic. So I can help. There’s a Chinese proverb that I like - ‘reading ten thousand scrolls, rather walk ten thousand miles.’ When we search for answers, our first point is the internet or books but what we can’t grasp from written literature, is the life experiences of interactions and 'light bulb' moments. My journeys have covered more than ten thousand miles. I have encountered and experienced many difficulties myself and I want to help you to overcome yours and feel better.

Taking the decision to have therapy can be difficult so you've already taken a huge first step. I am a fully accredited CBT therapist, EMDR therapist and behavioural couples therapist. I also have additional training in compassion focused therapy and long term health conditions with over 10 year experience in mental health in the NHS. I specialise in working with complex/childhood trauma, anxiety and low self-esteem.

I am a psychodynamic therapist who is specialised in emotional problems, relationship problems and acute/ historical trauma. Many people struggle in life because their emotions, thoughts and decision making process are dictated by the maladaptive patterns that enabled them to survive in the past but restrict them from living a fulfilling life. I can help you identify these mal-adaptive patterns, release the trapped emotions and develop an adaptive coping mechanism that would set you free and allow you to thrive in life.

Finding the right therapist is like trying to find the perfect puzzle piece for your life. It's not always easy, and I get that. I understand the struggle and the importance of connecting with someone who really "gets" you. Life can throw all sorts of curveballs, and talking about it with someone can be a game-changer. Picture me as a friendly guide on this journey – someone who listens without judgment, and is genuinely interested in your story.

My clients, often navigating the complexities of work and family life, seek therapy to address intricate relationship issues. Balancing numerous demands, they aim to manage relationships, resolve challenges, and cultivate effective coping strategies. Their pursuit of holistic health, financial stability, and work-life balance drives them to seek guidance in optimizing outcomes while minimizing stress and expenses. They aspire to elevate their performance while safeguarding personal well-being, striving for sustained success in all aspects of their lives.
