I'm an accredited mental health social worker in Australia and a certified Chinese Psychological Consultant with a strong passion for helping individuals on their unique journey to their well-being. I hold a Master of Social Work degree from Australia and a Master of ART endorsement in China, and I currently practice in both organizational and private settings.

 

I started psychology study in 2010. After achieving my psychological consultant certificate in China, I immersed myself in two years' psychodynamic  training and practice. Moving to Australia, I was excited to witness how social work discipline expanded the vision on how we perceived and treated mental health issues from a purely psychologically pathological perspective to a broad systematic view. Then I decided to have another two years' Master of Social Work study. Following the completion of my study, I have had around three years' mental health clinician practice in organisations, like Headspace and Links to Wellbeing. Then I decided to put my effort in my private practice. Sunflower Mental Health and Wellbeing came to be part of my life since then.

​

Years of practice in mental health field is always stirring my passion. Recognized as a psychotherapist with genuine compassion and empathy, I specialize in providing a holistic, person-centered psychological intervention. I draw from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, schema therapy, DBT, ACT, CBT, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family System Therapy (IFS), EMDR, Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT), Mindfulness-based CBT, and more.

 

I have extensive experience working with both youth and adults, addressing a wide spectrum of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, anger management, PTSD, CPTSD, low self-esteem, BPD, OCD, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, ASD, ADHD, and more. Furthermore, I have received specialized training in psychological hypnosis and am certified by the International Psychological Hypnosis Association (IPHCM).

 

My professional interests lie in treating C-PTSD, chronic depression, BPD and social anxiety. I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is central to effective psychotherapy. Therefore, I integrate elements from various therapeutic approaches to tailor my services to the unique needs of each individual. While I recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, I personally specialize in schema therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, all of which place a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship.

 

I believe that every individual is unique, with their own life experiences and wisdom. My goal is to nurture personal growth and help individuals flourish as their true selves. As Allen Ginsberg said, "We are all golden sunflowers inside." With proper care and nourishment, we can grow from a seed into a vibrant flower.

 

Sometimes, all we need is to allow someone to guide us towards the sunshine, helping us reconnect with our powerful, authentic selves. In my spare time, I find solace in meditation, diving, reading, music, and sometimes, just being present in the moment. If you're seeking relaxation, you can explore options like guided meditation, mindful body movement, Chinese Taoism meditation, Tibetan singing bowl sessions, or healing Handpan experiences.

 

Embrace the opportunity to set yourself free and unlock your full potential. I'm here, eagerly looking forward to the privilege of working with you on your path to well-being.
