About me and my therapy practice
I'm an Asian Third-Culture Kid (TCK)* and a neuro-affirming counsellor. Most of my clients are multicultural and cross-cultural adults, and many are also neurodivergent. If you are feeling anxious, uncertain, mentally and emotionally exhausted, I'm glad you're here.
I offer online counselling across the UK and overseas, and outdoor counselling in central Warwick.
* Third-Culture Kid meaning: Someone who spent a significant part of their developmental years living between cultures or outside their parents’ or passport culture.
WHO I SUPPORT:
Multicultural and cross-cultural adults, including TCKs, expats, and repats.
Neurodivergent adults, with a strong focus on ADHD (questioning, self-identified, or diagnosed). LGBTQ+ adults are also welcome here.
These identities and experiences are often layered, and many people have learned to be strong, adapt and perform in order to belong and feel accepted, valued or enough.
If you have been carrying a lot, adapting for much of your life and still somehow feel too different, too much or not enough, you're not alone.
Together, we can make sense of what you have been carrying and explore how you can meet yourself and your needs with more compassion and care.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
I’m mixed Thai/Chinese, and I grew up between Thailand and the UK. As someone who grew up between cultures, I understand that cross-cultural life can be layered and meaningful. It can also bring challenges that are difficult to explain. The internal conflict and tension can sometimes feel confusing and confronting to work through on your own.
I’m also a late-realised ADHDer. I understand some of the internal struggles, guilt and shame that can come with this lived experience. I also value the qualities I recognise in myself, including creativity, resourcefulness, associative thinking, deep feelings and strong intuition.
I continue to learn how to understand and meet my own needs with greater compassion, and supported by neurodivergent clinical supervisor and peers.
Practice description
MY COUNSELLING APPROACH & STYLE:
As an experienced integrative, trauma-informed, and neuro-affirming counsellor, I draw from multiple approaches and adapt them to your needs (not just who you're expected to be).
I naturally tend to lean into parts work, inner-child work, and compassion-focused ways of working.
Creativity, breathwork, and body-based practices also play an important part in my work, because sometimes talking alone is not enough.
My approach is relational and culturally sensitive, and sessions usually feel informal rather than clinical.
The heart of the work is helping you develop a more compassionate relationship with all parts of yourself, and build ways of supporting your needs from a place of care rather than blame or shame.
MY CLIENTS' EXPERIENCE:
Through our work together, my clients often feel clearer, steadier, and more able to meet themselves as a friend rather than a critic. There may be laughter and tears, softness and calm, alongside other colourful ways that connect us. You can expect honesty and authenticity from me, to feel affirmed and validated, while also being gently challenged when needed.
COMMON AREAS I SUPPORT:
Some of these themes may resonate with you.
- Survival patterns that no longer help such as overthinking, over-giving, over-adapting, perfectionism and people-pleasing.
- Emotions that feel difficult, such as anxiety, anger, sadness, hurt, guilt, resentment or emotional loneliness that may be showing up more, and sometimes feel consuming.
- Self-doubt and a harsh inner voice.
- Identity confusion and shame, cultural transition and adaptation, and belonging anxiety.
- Childhood trauma, including Child Emotional Neglect and past relational wounds.
- Loss, change and starting again.
- Neurodivergent experiences, identity, stressors, and needs.
My first session
FREE 20-MINUTE INTRODUCTORY CALL:
Before we decide to work together, I would invite you for an introductory call to see whether you feel comfortable talking with me, whether we might be a good fit, and how counselling might support you at this point in your life.
I understand that this may not feel like much time to determine if I'm the right counsellor for you. I encourage you to consider how you feel when we're talking...
- Do you feel comfortable talking to me?
- Do you feel like you can ask me questions?
- Do you feel that I'm empathetic and interested in what you have to say?
- Do my responses feel relevant, respectful, and genuine to you?
If you're feeling alone, frustrated and conflicted right now, you're not alone. Many of us experienced similar struggles at some point in life. But if it’s negatively impacting your life and relationships, let’s work through it together.
FEES & PRACTICAL DETAILS:
I offer one-to-one counselling for adults aged 18+. A counselling session lasts 60 minutes, and we would usually meet weekly. Bi-weekly session is available upon discussion.
