English
| 中文 | 廣東話 Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety? If you find it difficult to make friends or experience loneliness, come talk to me. Together, we will work on strategies that allow you to address your difficulties and build meaningful social connections. I am there to walk beside you, listen and offer you my insights, and support you as together we look into whatever it is you bring. Counseling can help you to explore your difficulties and understand the emotions behind them. The process aims to help you find ways of managing your life, perhaps by seeing things differently or gaining a deeper understanding.
I am also skilled with bottom-up regulation strategies using arts and play to assist with issues more prone to be relieved through right brain processes versus traditional cognitive therapy models. I sincerely believe that therapy is to help the individual reach the answers to their healing.
Reaching out for help can be difficult – but please be assured that I will offer you warmth and acceptance, with a calm, confidential, and safe space where you can explore what’s troubling you at your own pace. Through being heard, allowing the feeling, and being genuinely seen, things get better…
