The therapeutic process helps identify and understand what is happening in your inner world, in your relationships, your behavioural patterns and the difficulties in you experience. I work holistically with an evidence based theoretical framework. I believe that fundamentally we seek to know ourselves, to attune to our relationships, and to make sense of our story. These insights provide a foundation for a stronger sense of self, more fulfilling relationships, and an expanded perspective on life. Whilst therapy can provide symptomatic relief, my hope is that it will also bring you deeper awareness and sustainable progress.

Well done for taking the first step looking for therapy. It's a daunting step and you did it. You may be here because you want to talk to someone but not sure exactly what about, then you're in the right place. You may know exactly what's bothering you and you want to get started right away. Or perhaps you want to understand yourself better, improve on yourself either physically or emotionally (or both!), you're in the right place again. I offer a holistic approach to wellbeing as I am both a certified health coach and therapist. I look forward to meeting you.

Taking the first step towards talking to someone can feel overwhelming, and finding the right support is an important part of the journey. I’m here to offer a safe, accepting space where you can share your thoughts and feelings openly at your pace. As an accredited humanistic psychotherapist, I’ve worked with individuals navigating challenges such as anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, attachment issues, trauma, and self-esteem concerns, among others. Each person’s experience is unique, and my goal is to deeply understand your story so we can build a trusting, collaborative relationship tailored to your needs.

Are you looking to understand yourself better? Do you feel disconnected? Or have you gotten to a point where you simply need to talk? There are hundreds of reasons to begin therapy. I understand it can be daunting - the fear of the unknown; Who will your therapist be? Will they understand you? Will you feel comfortable? Or, what may come up for you during this process? My most important role as a therapist is to be a human being first. I will work with you, compassionately and mindfully, to create a safe and confidential space for you to re-connect with your own truth. Your internal experience.

Through the experiences we share in therapy, we will learn more about you. I aim to develop a relationship with you that is based on openness and acknowledgment, in hope of delving deeper into your lived experience. Through our experiences together we aim to reach a richer understanding of who you are and who you wish to become. Often, change will come from these revelations. The essence of this change will be expressed through our ongoing work together. I work with all people.

我的咨询以人为本,结合创意艺术(如绘画、音乐、游戏)与对身体的关注。不仅注重言语信息,还关注非言语信号,帮助来访者通过身体层面的资源管理情绪和躯体症状(如情绪崩溃、闪回、失眠、窒息感、无法解释的疼痛等),非常适合创伤基础的群体。 同时,我认为表达性艺术是内心投射的一个非常直接有效的工具。在创造性的过程中,来访者能够探索、了解并疗愈自己。我致力于通过言语、身体与艺术相结合的方式,为每位客户提供独特的咨询体验。 I am a creative and embodied psychotherapist, offering therapy in both Chinese and English. I take person-centered theoretical model, integrating creative arts (such as drawing, movement, play) with a focus on the body. In my practice, I focus on verbal information as well as non-verbal cues. I enjoy combining body movements with creative arts, helping clients to build physical and mental resources in a multi-dimensional way.

I believe that the 3 most common reasons leading people to seek therapy are Anger, Sadness & Belief System. This belief system could be one you were taught by somebody else or one you have created that is not serving you, for example feeling that you are not enough or that you are unloveable. I offer safety and support with the unbearable. I provide guidance in your discovery and unpacking of baggage. I use creative methods: art, body work, play therapy and nature.

I see the therapeutic space as an opportunity to take a new look at current difficulties, taking into account old and often unconscious issues in order to promote the awareness that leads to more harmonious functioning and more satisfactory relationships. I prioritise establishing a climate of trust in the therapeutic relationship where warmth and empathy are paramount. My experience also reaches to supporting young adults who seek to better understand their concerns and symptoms, which can be in the range of depression, relationship snd family difficulties.

Prior to working as a therapist and coach, I was a partner in a leading family law firm in the City, practising as a family lawyer for over 12 years. I therefore bring to my work first-hand knowledge of the challenges and stresses one can face in the workplace, with particular insight into the struggle to balance all aspects of our lives, both personal and professional, and of building and maintaining healthy relationships. I have considerable experience in working with people who are having relationship or family issues or are going through divorce or separation. I also coach clients through career and life transitions.

Life is an inexplicable puzzle. When you feel that you got a grip on it, it is then that you may also realise how vulnerable and susceptible you are. Overwhelming anxiety, debilitating panic attacks, struggling to get through the day, are all too real problems that could incapacitate and hinder you. Looking at our unhelpful assumptions and becoming aware of our attitudes and intentions could help with taking ownership and responsibility and creating meaning for ourselves. Existential thought takes the human condition as the focus of investigation and therapy focuses on the uniqueness of each individual's particular experience.

Are you relentlessly having thoughts like: "Why does it have to be this way? Why me? If only this had not happened... I wish things were different!" But you never get an answer or resolution leaving you emotionally drained and stuck on a loop? Thoughts starting with why, if only or I wish all share one common thread - I cannot accept this part of my life. If your goal is to 'move on' in life, or to find acceptance and peace with the past or current events or you're stuck on the 'how-to' do it, you've come to the right place.

I work with couples and individuals in person, and via Zoom/Skype. I have specialist training in couples therapy. All couples come together with high hopes. And a satisfying relationship is key to happiness. Yet all relationships do face challenges. For example, has communication broken down or stopped? Do conversations turn into arguments? Are you feeling unheard, unwanted and alone? Or are you feeling boxed-in and overwhelmed? Are there trust issues? Has someone had an affair? Is there conflict around your sex-life, fertility issues, parenting etc? Whatever your situation, your relationship is important to you, and deserves help.
