Hi, I am Claire. Originally from Taiwan, I used to be a business consultant for an international firm before retraining as a psychotherapist in London 20 years ago. Having experienced work stress and peer competition, I helped many professionals work through their burn out, general anxiety and depression. I am currently working with academics, high tech engineers, corporate and other clients.

I have also supported many clients, who relocated from Europe or America or the second generation of immigrants from Asia, to navigate their cultural identity and sense of belonging. Moreover, I have substantial experience of helping clients work though difficult life events: career change, divorce, loss and bereavement as well as fertility issues, etc.

My work is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. I use different approaches: CBT, psychodynamic, embodiment, existential, relational and dream work…tailoring therapy to your individual needs. Whatever you find difficult to cope with, counselling is a safe space to help you untangle complicated issues/patterns and support you to restore your well-being so that you can make positive changes.

I work with adults from 18 years of age. Typical issues I could help with are:

Depression, anxiety, panic attacks

Low self-esteem, isolation, loneliness

Neurodiverse (autism, dyslexia, ADHD...)

Cultural difference, cultural identity, sense of belonging

Relationship issues (affairs, divorce, miscarriages, infertility, multicultural marriages)

Attachment, family relations

Trauma, reconnecting with your body and feelings

Bereavement

Mid-life, life transitions, finding new life directions/meanings

Health anxiety, burnout, life-work balance

Menopause

Men's issues

I understand that it can be a daunting process to find the right counsellor. We can meet for an initial session without commitment.

I offer a free initial consultation for 15 minutes which gives you the opportunity to discuss your needs and to ask questions about therapy and how I work.
