My Approach

I believe that the healing and change not only occurs by looking inwards, but more by what happens within our relationships.

In our therapy sessions, I will support you to explore what is happening in you at the present moment. I invite you to pay attention beyond the words, reconnect your body and mind, not only through talking but also through breathing, movement, art and other creative ways. This is a safe space just for you to bring whatever you want no matter how difficult. Through our therapeutic relationship, we can explore who you are and your connection with others.

I work with issues relating to relationships, depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, racial heritage, gender and sexual identity. I am passionate about equality and diversity and have experience working cross-culturally. I am committed to anti-oppressive practice. I look forward to meeting the difference that makes you who you are.

About Me

I am originally from Taiwan, and have experience living in several countries in Asia and Europe. Besides Western Psychology and mythology, I also draw from my Chinese cultural heritage of Daoist and Buddhist philosophy. I am particularly interested in the balance of the Yin (feminine) and Yang (masculine) energy and the connection of the cycle of the natural world with our body and mind.

I chose to practise Gestalt therapy because it helps to bring the different parts of me together (some parts I didn’t even know or that I felt ashamed about); it supports me to be more mindful in the present moment. It helps me to honour my own journey of how I have become who I am today and to be more authentic in this challenging world.

Besides my psychotherapy work, I am also an artist and have been working as a lecturer in universities for over ten years.

Before starting my private practice, I worked as a therapist with Nilaari, a mental health charity for adults from Minoritised Communities.
