Hello, my name is Penny, and I am a bilingual (English/Mandarin) BACP accredited psychotherapist. My passion is to help people overcome their emotional challenges and achieve their personal growth.

​

I hold a master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice from the University of Nottingham. My previous background is in psychology in China. I started fostering my interest in psychology during high-school, and after I graduated from university and did a placement in a hospital, I realised how much I would like to offer people psychotherapy, rather than just medicine.

My Approach

I provide an empathic and non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe and accepted. During the sessions, I listen to you, reflect on your words, or ask questions to help me understand you. By reflective listening and responding, I assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of your thoughts and feelings and help you reconnect with your inner values and sense of self-worth.

​

As the sessions progress, we create a relationship which supports your process of self-exploration and acceptance. Each session focuses on you and gives you the opportunity to learn how to take back control and feel empowered. I help you explore and accept the entire you. You can simply be yourself and follow your heart.

My Experience

I have been working in various organisations in the mental health service since 2015, including as:

From these varied work experiences, I am privileged to have worked with people from a variety of backgrounds and ages, from 18+ to 70+.

Testimonials

“The biggest for me is to have this time on a regular basis, to think about where am I, where am I going, it’s time to dig deep about your thoughts, having these sessions with Penny really allow me to find and realise new insights. A lot of thoughts didn’t come to me until I talked it through with her, to get clarity of things, having awareness is good. It’s above and beyond my expectations.”

“It’s nice to have someone to talk to, non-judgemental, and have this external support system, I don’t feel I am a burden, and it’s nice to have weekly check-in time with myself. I used to run away from the anxiety but having therapy, it’s a time for me to sit with my emotions, it’s necessary. I can put some distance with my anxiety and put more time to process and identify my thoughts. I have more mental space to focus on other things, other than spending time worrying. During our sessions, you’re making everything click in my head. Like you’re putting into words how I feel. Really appreciate it.”

“Our therapy changed my life Penny, I am more relaxed, happy and able to stay in the moment now, I can’t believe how much we have been through. I have everything I need, I am more accepting and empathetic towards my family members, especially my dad. I am more self aware of all my emotions, not just bad feelings, but the happiness and content. I know I cannot control everything, as a person, I understand and accept how I feel.”

您好，我叫 Penny，是一名双语（英语/普通话）BACP 认证的心理治疗师。我热衷于帮助人们克服情感挑战并实现个人成长。

​

我拥有诺丁汉大学以人为本的体验式咨询和心理治疗实践硕士学位。我的背景是心理学。我在高中时开始培养对心理学的兴趣，大学毕业并在医院实习后，我意识到我是多么愿意为人们提供心理治疗，而不仅仅是药物。

我的方法

我提供一个富有同理心和非评判性的环境，让您感到安全和被接受。在咨询期间，我会倾听您的意见，反思您的话，或提出问题来帮助我理解您。通过反思性倾听和回应，我帮助您更深入地了解自己的想法和感受，并帮助您重新认识自己的内在价值观和自我价值感。

 

随着课程的进展，我们会建立一种支持您自我探索和接受过程的关系。每个课程都以您为中心，让您有机会学习如何收回控制权并感到被赋予力量。我帮助你探索并接受整个你。你可以简单地做你自己，跟随你的心。

我的经验

自 2015 年以来，我一直在多个心理健康服务组织工作，包括
