About us
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.

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.
