Personal Journey

​

My odyssey in psychology began in 2010, driven by a profound desire to understand and heal the deep-rooted wounds of complex trauma and break the lifetraps. Having experienced the suffocating grip of maladaptive lifetraps first-hand, I embarked on a transformative quest that led me to break free from the people-pleasing and perfectionism pattern and embrace a life filled with profound contentment.

Professional Evolution

​

With a background in psychological consultancy and extensive training in psychodynamic therapy , Schema Therapy, EMDR, EFT, etc. I have honed my expertise in treating C-PTSD, personality disorders, anxiety and chronic depression. I have certified as an advanced schema therapist and obtained the certificates of CCTP ( Certified Clinical Trauma Professional) and CCATP ( Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional).

​

I began my psychology practice in China and later expanded my experience by working with various NGOs in Adelaide. During this time, I gained valuable experience supporting both youth and adults facing complex mental health and social challenges.

​

Witnessing people on their healing journeys has deepened my belief that we are all born to thrive. Yet, when our core emotional needs aren’t  met at the optimal level during early development, we often develop survival strategies—lifetraps (maladaptive schemas, and dysfunctional coping mechanisms). While these were once protective, they can become barriers, causing emotional distress, interpersonal difficulties and preventing us from becoming who we truly want to be and living the lives we aspire to.

​

Drawing inspiration from attachment theory, self-psychology, and schema therapy, I enjoy weaving together various therapeutic approaches to help individuals heal deep-seated wounds and build a brighter future.

​

My commitment to empowering others comes from a deep belief in the transformative power of the authentic self, our untapped potential, and the importance of personalized care.

​

Holistic Approach

​

Drawing inspiration from both Eastern philosophies and Western modalities, my practice embodies a humanistic, person-centered approach to therapy. I have had the training in broad modalities, such as DBT, ACT, CBT, EFT, Mindfulness, psychodynamic therapy, Hypnosis psychotherapy, etc. I am passionate in schema therapy, EMDR and EFT.  I believe in the inherent resilience and wisdom within each individual, guiding them towards self-discovery and genuine well-being.

Mission Statement

​

Quoting Allen Ginsberg, "We are all golden sunflowers inside." It is my heartfelt mission to illuminate the path towards healing and self-discovery, empowering individuals to reconnect with their authentic selves, have those unmet core emotional needs to be met and blossom into their full potential. If you seek a compassionate guide to walk with you through the shadows towards the light, I am here to embark on this thriving journey alongside you.
