I came to therapy because of my own experiences of trauma, and the way I work today is heavily informed by my own journey.

Many of us get really good at carrying on. We go to work, look after other people, and keep everything ticking over. Before we know it, we're no longer sure what our needs are, or perhaps we've never really known what they are or how to get them met in the first place.

At some point, we might begin to notice that something doesn't feel quite right. Maybe life feels harder than it used to. Maybe there's a sense of feeling stuck, disconnected, exhausted, or simply unsure of what's going on.

I also understand the fear of wondering what might happen if you finally stopped and paid attention to how you're feeling. Would it all become too much? Would everything start to unravel? If you allowed yourself to feel the grief, anger, sadness or exhaustion you've been carrying, what then?

In my experience, therapy isn't about opening the floodgates and hoping for the best. It's about having somewhere to make sense of what's going on, at a pace that feels manageable.

I work integratively, with a particular interest in the body. My own journey and chinese background taught me that our bodies often tell a story long before we've found the words for it. Anxiety, depression, and past experiences can show up as tension, exhaustion, numbness, restlessness, brain fog, or simply a feeling that something isn't quite right.

Because of this, I often invite curiosity about what's happening in the body as well as what's happening in the mind. Sometimes I might share something I'm noticing in myself and ask whether it resonates with you. Not because I have the answer, but because it can help us understand your experience from a different angle.

I'm particularly interested in the mixed race identity, belonging, and neurodivergence. Much of my work involves helping people understand themselves with greater compassion and make sense of responses that often developed for very good reasons.

I hope therapy offers you a space where you don't have to have everything figured out, and where you can begin to reconnect with yourself in a way that feels safe, supportive and a little less lonely.
