Counselling in Whitstable

大家好，我係Karlie，我在英國完成我第一個學位，回到香港再進修，得到我的專業輔導碩士學位。在香港合作機構包括不同的中學，慈善團體如保良局、東華三院等。三年前移居來到英國繼續執業。理解從香港移居來到英國重新生活一點都不容易，需要重新適應生活習慣，文化背景和語言，大家所面對的困難我都理解。我相信你們最了解自己的情況，作為治療師，我的責任是為大家提供一個安全且不帶偏見的環境，讓大家尋找解決方案或從不同的角度看待事物，在需要的時候陪伴和鼓勵你們。

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。

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My name is Dr Catherine Cheung. I am an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist who was trained at University College London. I have worked extensively in the private sector and as a Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist in the NHS. My experiences vary from working with clients with mild to complex mental health needs to supporting those with acute or long-term physical health issues. I am also committed to empowering autistic and neurodiverse individuals, often university students and adults in employment. Being creative, compassionate and empathic are key tenets of my therapy approach.

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.

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).

我是來自香港, 在香港出生成長, 現居於英國的專業心理輔導員, 我接受輔導專業訓練, 獲得碩士學位及多項專業資格, 並同時累積了超過二十年以上的臨床心理輔導經驗。 ​ 多年來我懷著「與人同行」的使命, 熱誠地幫助身處不同困境, 以及被情緒困擾的人, 讓他們得著力量及支持, 知道自己並不孤單, 勇敢地走出幽谷。 ​ 延續著這份使命, 繼續為來自不同地方的朋友, 跨越地域的界限, 提供專業的網上視像心理治療服務。本著同行者的服務精神，希望可以透過專業的輔導服務，與受助者同行，幫助受助者更清楚認識自己和周遭的人和事，從而發掘更多的內在和外在資源和可行的出路，釋放自己，最終能更享受生命。

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.

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 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.
