A Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist/Counselling Psychologist – I have received education in Hong Kong and Toronto, worked in Greater China, and studied about Europe. Currently I am based in Toronto, Canada.
As your therapist, my role is to facilitate your self-exploration so as to unlock effective changes.
In you I see a unique and complex person with individualised temperament, thoughts, feelings, relational patterns, and unmet needs.
In therapy, we work collaboratively to understand your distress from a compassionate angle. I relate to you with a humane sensibility rather than cold condescension.
You’re the engine of change while I assist you to identify your strengths to fuel effective long-term changes to even the most deep-seated issues.
My Orientation: It’s more than just the medical model’s diagnostic manual and treatment protocol. I draw heavily on Psychodynamic perspectives (unconscious, inner conflicts, defenses, deep emotions, dreams, free associations etc), while integrating cognitive-behavioural tools, compassion, and body-oriented experiential techniques.
Therapy Process: With a comprehensive assessment comes a tailored treatment plan. The goal of our weekly or biweekly sessions: to relieve the symptoms you’re suffering from while achieving greater self-knowledge and acceptance. That is, address current problems and build long-term resilience.
Outcomes: Insights, corrective emotional experiences, and adaptive coping skills; hence lasting joy and satisfying relationships.
