I have many years experience providing a service to people from all works of life and feel that my speciality is people, as I recognise that we are all unique.
If you are looking for someone to really listen to what you have to say in a non-judgemental way as well as being able to make suggestions for healthy responses, I think I could be the person you are looking for. With over eighteen years as a therapist and over twenty-five years membership of the British Psychological Society (with a degree in psychology and masters in cognitive science) I have the knowledge and experience to offer a high level service. NB I also see BUPA clients and can offer online and walking therapy too.

Assists clients in cultivating long-lasting self-help and empowerment skills, navigating their challenges, and forging a joyful, fulfilling, and purposeful life.
We encounter various kinds of difficulties and challenges every day. At times, it can be challenging to open up to others, therefore leading to feelings of confusion and a sense of powerlessness. Recently, many individuals from Hong Kong who have relocated to the UK have faced setbacks in their social, professional, or academic pursuits. Such challenges often stem from uncertainties surrounding self-image and self-worth while adapting to a new environment. If you find yourself in a similar situation, exploring yourself through psychological counseling can provide you with more effective means to understand and address these emotions

My mission is to provide highly effective life changing and personalised care to individuals so that they can lead a more productive and satisfying life.
I work with clients that are often operating under sustained psychological load inciting stress, anxiety, burnout , decision fatigue, emotional isolation, relationship issues, or a nervous system that has learned to stay on alert. My clients are not looking for someone who just listens to them , gives reassurance, or surface-level strategies. They come to me for clarity without judgement, depth and intensive short term results and a space where insight leads to real, sustainable change. I am very active in the session and offer results

I offer counselling and therapeutic coaching.
My specialisms include addiction, anxiety, depression, couples therapy, self esteem, bereavement, identity and trauma. I work with all sexual orientations and ethnicities. I use contemporary counselling theory, but I’m also interested in less traditional viewpoints: I spent 7 years as a Buddhist monk, and this naturally has a bearing on my work.

I work with people who feel ready to address some kind of dis-ease in their lives, whether that is an anxiety, addiction, relationship question or stress-related physical pain. Many of these issues take time to address properly although people often experience relief relatively quickly. I worked as a teacher before becoming a psychotherapist, and still like the Greek word for teaching: pedagogy, which has at its heart the idea of accompanying. I accompany people in-person and online, on their journey; I rarely offer advice but work with people to help them understand themselves, what they want, and the best way forward for them.

I work with clients from different backgrounds, some just want to come a few times to sort out a specific issue, while others come for more open ended support or because they are in a psychotherapy training themselves.

Whether you need to overcome a traumatic experience, difficulties in relationships, self esteem, anxiety or coaching to provide skills to transition through life, manage a situation or perform at your best.
Overcoming experiences in life that impact on us in an unhelpful way is not straight forward. It can also be damaging to our health and happiness if we develop unwanted behaviours to cope with our emotions. EMDR, Hypnosis, Symbolic Modelling combined with psychotherapy can help you move forward with confidence.

Our team works across the full range of adult mental health: anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, couples and relationships, neurodiversity (ADHD and autism), LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, workplace stress and burnout, grief, and life transitions.
The people who come to us arrive with the full range of adult difficulty — anxiety that has been wearing them down, depression, the after-effects of trauma, relationships that are not working, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ clients looking for genuinely affirming practice, and senior professionals carrying pressure they cannot put down anywhere else. What our team of more than 90 qualified counsellors and therapists offers is something specific: deliberate matching. You are not assigned to whoever happens to be available. You are matched to the practitioner whose training, specialism, and approach actually fit your needs.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
