“I always encourage every human being I meet to bring up any concerns, questions, or thoughts they have with their therapist/psychotherapist/counsellor/coach. It’s a therapeutic relationship; like every relationship, it takes time to build trust and foster connection. This responsibility is shared between client and therapist.”
What is therapy like with you?
Imagine engaging in a heartfelt conversation that truly makes you feel valued, understood, and embraced. I'm here to empower, uplift, and educate you, using a variety of therapeutic methods, techniques, and knowledge. My approach is far from rigid—I don't believe in locking clients into long-term commitments. Instead, I honor your individual journey and encourage ongoing dialogue to ensure our collaboration is meeting your needs. Together, we'll explore what works, what doesn't, and what you truly desire, as I offer compassionate guidance and practical suggestions. Creating a warm, inviting space is my top priority, where you can freely explore, process, and gain profound insights. It would be an honor to accompany you on this transformative path. Don't hesitate to reach out and book a session with me today. Let's embark on this journey together, as compassionate allies.
If you could tell your clients one thing you’ve learnt as a therapist/counsellor, what would it be?
To listen to my infant self who said: why would I want to be anyone else, there’s no one else like me, I love being me! Or something to that effect, I forget what my mum asked me when I was quite young, but it prompted this response. Being a queer/gay Asian-Australian, Hakka, cis-gender man, I had to do the work to undo the social conditioning that was not for me and could never be for me, and navigate the intersectional disadvantages (& privileges), to become the individual I am today.
I continue to learn, fall, pick myself up again, and I don’t always get things right. But as long as I am continuously picking myself up and reminding myself “there’s no one else like me” and that I am good enough, eventually things will work out. A somewhat vague response to a big question, but essentially: embrace who you are, develop a healthy bond with yourself, because it’s only you at the end of the day and at the end of your life, and it’s with this version of yourself that you navigate your life and the world.
That it’s okay to ask for what you need. To feel comfortable in asking questions, saying what works, what doesn’t, and being curious about the process. It’s called talk therapy after all, right? Good practice is for a therapist to be able to read the room, check-in, and notice what’s going on in session and adapt appropriately, however we are human and unable to read minds, so if you feel like your therapist needs to know something or something is unclear, particularly if it’s obvious they are doing their best to communicate something to you. Take a breath, and involve yourself in the session, you only get as much from the session, and arguably in life, how much you put in.
