About me
It's so good to talk to someone without worry of being judged.
Without judgement we become free to explore what we really need in our lives.
Yes you can find a way out of this rut, and live a more fulfilling life, and benefit yourself and those around you.
Hello 你好 I am Mati. I am an English, Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese speaking person-centred psychotherapist. I integrate my master of counselling and conflict resolution training with my lived experience as a Hong Konger-Canadian-Scottish-English immigrant to consult and counsel my clients through their journeys.
Since 2001 I've worked as an autism behavioural interventionist, Canadian school youth worker, Scottish school counsellor, and now private counsellor and psychotherapist in London consulting clients worldwide.
Unsure about starting therapy? That's ok.

I look forward to helping you live out a more authentic life.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
