At the core of every relationship is the need for trust. I'm committed to building a strong foundation of trust and safety with the people I work with as we process life's ups and downs together. Non-judgment, collaboration and respect are central to my counselling approach, which gently guide people to discover authentic solutions to their issues.
I grew up in Hong Kong, and have also lived in the UK and Canada before relocating to Taiwan, where I am currently based. I have special insight into Asian diaspora, inter-cultural and third-culture (TCK) experiences, and offer therapy in English (with Cantonese or Mandarin if preferred).
Together, we can try to understand the difficulties you're facing, and discover ways of responding to them that are right for you. Healing and facing change aren't always easy, but you don't have to go it alone. Whenever you're ready, please get in touch.

I support people who are facing challenges that are affecting their quality of life. Together we work to understand the difficulties at hand and their impact on the person's relationships and other areas of life. Through reflecting on the past and how it has shaped current experiences, we explore ways of moving forward that are grounded in the person's values and the resources available to them.

I use a blend of ACT, compassion-focused, narrative and psychodynamic therapies in my work. My approach mainly aims to support people with discovering or reconnecting with what's important to them. Over time, instead of avoiding difficult feelings, people can start to embrace what these feelings might be trying to say about their hopes, dreams, and preferred directions in life.
