I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist working from an existential approach. As a bilingual therapist in English and Vietnamese, I offer a reflective and compassionate space where clients can explore identity, belonging, trauma, and life transitions.
Much of my work is with immigrants and those navigating cross-cultural experiences, questions of home, loss, and adaptation. I also support clients working through relational or developmental trauma, helping them reconnect with a sense of self and meaning in their lives.

I am a Clinical supervisor with a social service background and have been working with families for over 20 years. I realise that it can often be difficult for children to understand or express their emotions. This can lead to overwhelming, confusing, or stuck feelings, perhaps resulting in low esteem and struggles with relationships with others, and themselves. I offer a safe and supportive environment where children can express their emotional and relational difficulties by using their natural language of communication, PLAY, with the facilitation of various play and creative materials in the playroom.

I am a child therapist with six years experience of working with children from the age of 4 to 16 yrs. My aim is to provide the child or young person with a safe and contained space where they can explore their feelings. I have worked with children presenting various behavioural and emotional issues arising from the impact of being bullied, bereavement/loss, parent separation, domestic violence and abuse. It is important to acknowledge the increased stress and anxiety in children due to the current global, social and political climate, including concerns about war and environmental issues.

Hello, I’m an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor, working in the NHS and private practice, and a board trustee for a London mental health charity. I offer a free intial discussion so you can get a feel for how we might work together.

Do you ever find yourself questioning your worth, feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands or longing for relationships where you feel truly seen? Perhaps your mind feels constantly 'on' or you’re carrying far more than those around you realise. If you’re feeling low, anxious, stressed or simply unsure of why things feel so heavy, you’re not alone. I offer a space where you can pause, breathe and begin making sense of what’s going on inside you.

I’m a highly qualified and professionally experienced psychotherapist/counsellor and psychologist. I have abundant experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and cultures in the NHS and the private settings, for both the short-term and long-term periods. Rather than offering clients so-called expert’s version of advice, I offer therapeutic work tailored to suit the individual needs of clients, whilst acting as a facilitator to the clients’ process to find their own ways to deal with their issues. This will lead the clients to experience self-discovery and self-acceptance while strengthening their self-healing process.

I have extensive experience working long and short term with LGBTQ+, men of all creed as well as the South-East Asian community.
I offer a space in which I walk together with my client, with full acceptance of their way of being. With this, I firmly believe that clients can find the inner strength in order to cope and change what they want or need. My practice is not neutral. It is relational.

I work with parents who have found the emotional side of parenting harder than expected following a difficult or unexpected start.
This might include neonatal care, medical complications, separation after birth, loss, or other early challenges. Some parents notice ongoing anxiety, feeling constantly on edge, intrusive memories, or a sense of being changed by what they went through — even months or years later.
This can be especially difficult when others expect you to feel only relief or gratitude, or when support hasn’t always felt accessible, safe, or meant for you.

I work with people who feel like something in them has gone tangled, out of reach and those carrying unsaid suffering that shows up as all kinds of "symptoms". Many has come to me because they’ve been coping alone for too long, holding everything together on the surface while something deeper keeps pulling at them. They want to understand themselves more deeply, to feel more connected authentically, and a place where nothing has to be performed or justified.

Hello, my name is Joan (she/her). I am an HCPC-registered Art Psychotherapist based in London.
I work with children, young people, and adults who may find it hard to express what they are carrying through words alone. My practice is creative, relational, and trauma-informed, shaped by psychodynamic and analytical psychology and a strong sensitivity to culture, identity, and life transitions. I am particularly interested in how emotional experiences are held in the body, in relationships, and in everyday materials.

Asian Counsellors
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.
How can I recognise an effective Asian therapist?
You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.
What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?
A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?
The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
