Cantonese Counselling in Poundbury

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 Teenager Counsellor and Certified Sandplay Therapist working with Teenager and Adults. I provide a safe and calm space for you or your teenagers to explore what is bothering you using different approaches including creative arts, mindfulness etc. We work together to find ways to cope with your struggles. Sandplay is a very gentle approach to enable us to facilitate change in life. I have experience working as a counsellor in school and different charities. I work with teenagers who suffer from anxiety, bullying, loneliness and low attendance, etc. I also work with adults who would like to make changes in life.

Experiencing difficult emotions in face of life challenges or crisis are often considered as “problems” that make us feel vulnerable, powerless or shameful. Although these "problems" are often natural human experiences, we sometimes struggle with the critical inner voice and have little compassion towards self. Psychotherapy is neither a quick fix of your psychological wounds nor a direct path to happiness. It's a process where you can start connecting with yourself and make sense of your own narrative in a safe and respectful space. The process of relating to a genuine human being itself could be the start of your healing journey.

Having worked with many clients over the years, I have a good understanding of what human distress looks like. Often, we try to push the difficult feelings (both physical and emotional) aside and just ‘get on with it’. Sure enough, it works for a while, but then there comes a point when the usual coping strategies just stop working, and reaching out for help feels somehow wrong too; life feels stuck in vicious circles. If this sounds frustratingly familiar, then you are not alone. With my extensive experience, I can support you to reach your goals, or simply to figure out together first what the goals might be.

Relationships can be challenging at times, with repeated dead-end communication resulting in distancing and stone-walling, and resulting couple's overall dissatisfaction. Reconnection, and forgiveness through installing new communication patterns and awareness. A devitalized relationship can be overwhelming with grief and loss, turbulent thoughts and feelings would be hard to bear. Recuperating with a process of catharsis, recognizing the pain and hurt, reflecting on the attachment, releasing blocked emotions, and reconstructing the future outlook, thus inner peace, order in everyday life, and growth ensue.
