Cantonese Counselling in Stokenchurch

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。

我是心理輔導員Margaret，我於香港城市大學社會科學系應用心理學碩士及輔導碩士課程畢業。我擅長處理各種個人情緒輔導，我曾處理個案包括抑鬱症，焦慮症，驚恐症，童年創傷，創傷後壓力症，個人成長，婚姻關係，親子及家庭關係等。我也擅長透過兒童遊戲治療為兒童改善行為及情緒問題。我會因應咨詢過程按個別需要運用不同治療療法來協助當事人，包括精神分析學，個人中心取向治療，尋解導向治療，正念練習等。

你是否有時會感到自己格格不入？感到迷失了自己，不知道自己是誰，並且對向它人展現自己感到害怕？慢慢地，你感到孤獨，並且認為演繹一個它人的形象或者是你“應該”成為的人更容易。但你內心卻有一個地方在因為無法成為自己而痛苦。如果你感到不想再繼續這麼下去，我想讓你知道我可通過心理咨詢來提供你一個安全信賴的空間，從而讓你根據自己的步調踏上療愈和探索自我的旅程。我是一名心理動力學派的心理咨詢師。我所學習的流派和我自身的經歷讓我意識到人們與自己的過去，文化，家庭等等有著緊密的聯繫，此外人們同時被它們所深深地影響和塑造。因此，通過在咨詢中建立一個安全信賴的關係，我們能夠看到你是如何無意識地被過去與現在的聯結所影響的。我們逐漸地對你的困擾有更深刻的理解，並且對你的自我和你與它人它物的聯結方式有全新的和更深的了解。

I am a seasoned Clinical Psychologist deeply committed to delivering quality mental health care. My credentials include being a registered Clinical Psychologist with the HCPC (UK) and holding registrations in Australia (AHPRA) and New Zealand (NZPB). I am also honoured to be a Chartered Psychologist and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society (AFBPsS). As a clinical psychologist from Hong Kong with Cantonese as my first language, I bring a unique empathetic perspective and cultural sensitivity to my practice, helping individuals who have recently immigrated to the UK from Hong Kong.

You want to grow and thrive, but somehow you feel thwarted and the journey is frustrating and lonely. I respect your subjective experience, attempt to understand you in context and explore with you your various unconscious dynamics that are shaped by biological, social and psychological forces that impact your development and your experience about yourself and the others, as well as your coping skills that are known and unknown to you, so as for you to re-orient your direction and efforts towards more fruitful ends.

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.

Ling works to provide a trauma-informed, safe, and creative space for young people and adults to feel heard and accepted. Worrying situations in the present are most likely to have originated in past experiences, she works collaboratively with young people and their families to understand and process these experiences. Her goal is to help her clients understand and manage their difficult feelings and feel more empowered in their daily lives. Ling currently works in Specialist CAMHS (NHS) with under 18s who are adopted, in care, and young adults who have left the care system.

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).

Whether it feels too big to talk about, or even too small to bother anyone with, if you feel anxious or it is disrupting your life, it can be reassuring to talk to someone who can support you in getting those difficult thoughts and feelings off your chest. It might feel difficult at first exploring things that perhaps you’ve never spoken about before, especially with someone new; however, what you bring to therapy is for you to decide and nothing is ever considered ‘not relevant’. You will take the lead of the session and I will follow, we can work together and explore your concerns at a pace you feel comfortable.

I am a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and a BACP registered Psychotherapist trained with Regent’s University London and Tavistock and Portman. I hold a PhD in Occupational Health Psychology at University of Nottingham, and a MSc. in Counselling at University of Edinburgh.

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.

Life can be difficult at times and it can lead us feeling overwhelmed. You may not want to share your feelings or problems with friends or family, and this might be because you don’t want them to worry or you are unsure about whether they will understand what you are going through. It does not mean you have to go through your difficulties alone. Counselling is a journey of self-discovery and it can facilitate positive change. It can be a form of self-care to help to understand yourself better and to allow yourself to live the life that you want and achieve the things you thought you won’t be able to do.

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.

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.

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.
