About me

I'm based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I provide professional service mainly for clients based in the UK and HK. I work with clients in English, Cantonese or Mandarin. 

My approach is relational, grounded in psychodynamic and person-centred theories. It's a process of identifying early/primitive conflicts and defences, which hinder us from developing a fuller sense of self. This happens through intersubjective communication (at times unconscious) in a confidential, safe, empathic and relational space between you and me. 

Therefore, psychotherapy, in my opinion, isn't about fixing something. It's two people sitting together in dialogue trying to discover who we really are, what is perpetuating our dysfunctional thoughts or behaviours, and what is hindering us from self-actualisation and feeling fulfilled. It is simple... but deep.
