What has prompted you to consider psychotherapy?
Are you dealing with the lingering effects of traumatic experiences? Are you grappling with a significant loss from a breakup, betrayal, divorce, or death? Do you feel overwhelmed by frustration and intense competition at work? Are you weighed down by regrets over past choices? Or do you find yourself feeling a vague sense of emptiness, loneliness, or inadequacy?
Life presents us with numerous challenges, and we can feel stuck or lost when our internal conflicts remain unresolved. These conflicts often show up as symptoms such as mood swings, anxiety, ruminations, unexplained physical issues, sleep disturbances, or patterns of difficult relationships and self-defeating behaviours. It is very difficult to get over alone.
你在考慮嘗試心理治療嗎?
你在經歷因過往創傷帶來卻揮之不去的影響嗎？你正在努力面對分手、背叛或喪親造成的傷痛嗎？你在職場上遇到挫折或激烈競爭而感到徬徨無助嗎？你在自責和後悔一個錯誤的選擇？或者你感到人生一片空虛迷茫、強烈孤獨或總是覺得自己有很多不足的地方？
生活的確給我們帶來許多挑戰，當內心的矛盾沒法釋懷時，我們會感到迷茫或停滯不前。這些矛盾會呈現為各式各樣的癥狀，例如: 情緒波動、焦慮、胡思亂想、無法解釋的身體不適、失眠、不斷重演的關係問題或弄巧反拙的行為模式。單靠獨自一個去克服是非常困難的。
My Approach
In my therapeutic practice, my primary focus is to create a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your conflictual feelings, thoughts, needs, and aspects of self of which you may not be fully aware. Each person faces unique challenges shaped by family dynamics, life experiences, and relational traumas. These struggles often show up as psychological symptoms or difficulties in relationships, leaving you feeling stuck. These need to be listened to and understood.
Utilizing a psychodynamic approach, I emphasise gaining awareness and insight into the interplay between your past and present experiences within a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. This process is collaborative, where my role is to help you talk about your feelings and conflicts and reflect on your inner experiences and significant relationships.
As we work through these issues in our sessions, you will gradually come to understand your challenges and the underlying factors that shape how you view yourself and interact with others. We will also examine the coping mechanisms you’ve used – especially those that haven’t served you well – and their effects on your life.
Instead of merely addressing symptoms or providing prescriptive solutions, true and lasting change and healing arise from a deep understanding of yourself and your inner experiences. Recognising the root of an issue clarifies its nature and the potential for change, which varies significantly from person and person. Sometimes, change means learning to coexist with uncomfortable feelings. Other times, it involves adopting new behaviours or redefining your approach to relationships. Often, it is a combination of these.
Change does not lie in definite answers but in the subtle experiences within our therapeutic relationship. I am here to accompany you, listen, understand, and witness your journey. By acknowledging, accepting, and embracing all your complex feelings and needs, and how they manifest in your symptoms, you will cultivate new insights and develop a stronger sense of self. This empowers you to make conscious choices and take meaningful actions to transform your relationships and overall life circumstances.
我的治療取向
我致力為求診者提供一個安全、沒有批判的空間，讓你放心探索各種複雜感受、想法、內心需要、以及有關連自己都未完全理解或意識到的自我面向。我深信每一個人都有自己獨一無二的故事，經歷着獨一無二的掙扎、恐懼和痛苦感受。這些情感經驗受着原生家庭、生活際遇、及一些人際創傷等等牽引和影響，並且往往透過各種心理症狀或不斷重演的關係問題呈現出來，使人感到陷入困境。這一切經歷是需要被好好聆聽和理解的。
我主要以心理分析/心理動力學方法，透過具有治療作用的信任關係中，幫助你更理解和接納自己，洞察自己的過去如何影響現在的經歷。心理治療是一個講求互相合作的過程，你並非被動地單方面接受解決方案或建議 --- 因為這樣並不有效。我的角色是和你心靈對話，協助你放心表達所有的感受和矛盾，探究自己的心路歷程及依附關係帶給你的影響。
當我們在治療過程中逐一處理這些問題時，你將逐漸體會是什麼令你有這些感受、這些根源是如何影響你怎樣看待自己、如何影響你和他人相處。我們亦會探索你一直以來應對這些困境的方法，尤其是不太有效的那些是如何影響你的生活。
純粹追求舒緩症狀只是治標不治本 ，要達到真正持久的改變、療癒、成長 ，便必須深切的理解自己的內心世界。只有透徹了解造成目前困境的根本原因，方有空間去發現改變的可能性。有用的改變是因人而異的。有時改變意味著去學會承載不舒服的感覺並與它共存，有時涉及改變處事方式，有時或需要重新定義你的人際關係。
改變並不會從他人身上得到一個答案便突然發生。改變是一點一滴在治療過程裏逐漸發生，在你與我的關係當中，逐一梳理被自己埋藏了的難受情感、體會被陪伴、被聆聽、被理解的感覺，並見證你的逐步蛻變，逐步能夠容納和承載自己所有的感受和需要，逐步培養力量為自己作出有意義的選擇及行動去改變你的人生。

In addition to psychodynamic psychotherapy, I incorporate various treatment techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, CBT for Insomnia, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy when clinically indicated.
