Have you ever felt that you are always trying to be strong, responsible, or “good enough” — while carrying an invisible sense of exhaustion, disconnection, or uncertainty about who you truly are?​ Many of the patterns we struggle with today were once meaningful ways we learned to survive. People-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional suppression, over-responsibility, or difficulty setting boundaries may have developed as ways to maintain safety and connection.

​

I support adults who are seeking to understand themselves more deeply, heal from past experiences, and build more authentic relationships with themselves and others.​ My work focuses on complex trauma, relational wounds, attachment patterns, childhood emotional experiences, and the challenges of navigating different cultural worlds.

​

As a Chinese-born migrant living in Aotearoa New Zealand, I understand that healing is shaped not only by our personal experiences, but also by our families, cultures, relationships, and communities. I bring both professional training and lived experience of crossing cultures into my counselling practice.

​

My holistic approach integrates trauma-informed and mindful-somatic perspectives, including Trauma-Informed Stabilisation Treatment (TIST), parts work, polyvagal theory, attachment-based approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other relational approaches.

​

I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming, and LGBTQIA+-affirming counselling space where each person's unique identity, lived experience, and story are respected, valued, and embraced.

​

I believe healing is not about becoming someone different. It is about reconnecting with the parts of ourselves that have been lost, silenced, or protected — and developing a kinder relationship with ourselves.
