Chiu is a certified art psychotherapist based in the North East. Over the past five years, Chiu has delivered art therapy to individuals and groups in a wide range of settings, including the NHS, care homes, SEN schools, and local council services across London,Edinburgh, Newcastle and Northumberland. My belief lies in the immense power of empathy, active listening, and providing a safe and inclusive environment for each person. I’ve witnessed how art creation serves as a non-verbal avenue, offering glimpses into the subconscious and aiding in processing trauma.

The Holistic Wellbeing Sanctuary is a mind, body and spirit focused healing. The model is used to treat the person as a whole rather than the symptoms they are experiencing. I implement trauma interventions from childhood or adulthood and use holistic therapy to heal the client. One of the therapies includes EMDR therapy which has a very successful rate in helping people recover from PTSD, anxiety and depression to name a few. All interventions can be found on the website. Other therapies I have experience in are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Trauma Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

My approach is human centred, compassion focused, and trauma informed. I believe that every person is shaped by their life experiences and has their own unique strengths and challenges. As such, I do not use symptom lists, diagnostic labels, or manualised treatments. If you are looking for a therapist who works in this way, I may not be the best practitioner to support your needs. We will begin by exploring together what brings you to therapy and creating a shared understanding of your unique life story. From here, we can begin to make connections between your history and your present difficulties, whatever they may be.
