You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unable to put your experience into words. You may be carrying anxiety, low mood, trauma, loss, relational pain, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others. I also welcome immigrants and people navigating cultural transition, especially clients from East Asian backgrounds. You may be looking for a space where difficult feelings can be held safely, explored creatively, and gradually made more understandable, so that you can feel more grounded, authentic and connected.
I offer psychodynamically and neurologically informed Music Therapy for people who find words difficult or insufficient. I specialise in working with immigrants, particularly clients from East Asian backgrounds, and I offer sessions in both Mandarin and English. I provide online Music & Imagery (Short-term Supportive session, 7 sessions or long-term therapy)
When speaking feels too much, music can offer another way to be heard. I am providing a containing and exploratory creative space where we can work at your pace, with sensitivity to culture, language and lived experience. Whether you are seeking support in Mandarin or English, you are very welcome to reach out.
