Welcome! I'm Swani and I support people with anxiety, low mood, burnout, confidence building, self image, identity, family and relationships issues. Let's work together to support you to make sense of life and achieve conscious and choiceful living.
I provide a safe, supportive space for you to talk freely about what's bothering you. Together, we will make sense of some of the conflicting and confusing feelings and experiences, create self-acceptance and healing, and ultimately live life the way you want. I have worked with anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship/family issues.
I offer therapy in English, Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese. Thanks to my background, I often work with young professionals, freelancers, creatives, and people across cultures. Please be assured that all contact with me is kept in the strictest confidence. Please get in touch, it would be my honour to walk alongside your journey of transformation and healing.

To see if we'd like to work together, let's discuss and arrange an initial consultation. I'll enquire about your reasons for coming to therapy and what you hope to gain from it. I'll ask questions about your difficulties, personal history and current situation to inform our future work together.
