Welcome Message | 簡單介紹
成長,往往由更了解自己開始。
你好,我是 Rachel。
對我來說,心理治療最重要的,是讓你在這個過程中感到安全、被理解,也有人陪你一起面對正在經歷的事情。我希望為你提供一個溫暖、安心和有支持感的空間,讓你可以慢下來,喘一口氣,按照自己的步伐,慢慢說出心裡的感受和想法。
你可能來到治療,是因為最近有些事情一直壓在心上,希望有一個地方可以停一停,好好整理一下自己的感受,也希望有人真正聽見和理解你。你也可能希望更深入地認識自己,重新看見自己的力量,或在人生中作出一些對自己真正有意義的改變。無論是甚麼帶你來到這裡,我都希望你知道,在這個空間裡,你不只是一個正在面對問題的人。你的經歷、感受、需要,以及一路走到今天的故事,都是重要的。
我支援正在面對焦慮、抑鬱、壓力、情緒低落、自我懷疑、哀傷與失落、關係困擾、身心疲憊、人生轉變、過往情感創傷,以及感到停滯、不知所措,或不知道下一步該怎樣走的人。
我亦支援第一代移民及有移民背景的人,陪伴他們面對身份認同、歸屬感、文化差異、家庭期望和壓力等議題。此外,我也與伴侶一起處理溝通困難、衝突、疏離、信任問題,以及關係中的不同轉變。
每個人的故事都不一樣。你的文化背景、家庭、關係,以及過往的人生經歷,都會影響你怎樣看待自己、理解自己的感受,以及面對現在的生活。因此,治療不會是一套固定的方法,而是會按照你的需要、你的步伐,以及對你來說真正重要的事情來調整。
在我們一起工作的過程中,我們可以慢慢理解你正在經歷的情緒,整理那些反覆出現的想法和模式,也可以一起探索甚麼對你來說真正重要。當生活讓人感到很累、很亂,甚至看不到方向時,我希望陪你重新看見自己的力量、選擇和可能性。
在尋求協助之前,你不需要先想好應該怎樣說,也不需要把所有事情都整理清楚。你可以就以現在的自己來到這裡。
我的角色,是用心聆聽你,在適合的時候提出一些溫和的問題,陪你一起整理和反思,也在有需要時提供一些方向、實用的方法和工具。我希望你在這裡不需要擔心被批判,也不需要逼自己成為某個樣子,而是可以慢慢感受到被理解、被尊重,也可以安心地做自己。
因為自己也曾在不同文化之間生活,我明白環境轉變、人生過渡,以及不同文化和家庭期望,如何影響我們看待自己、與人相處,以及表達情緒的方式。這些經歷也讓我更重視文化背景和每個人的獨特經驗。
我希望每一次見面,都能為你留下一個可以安心停下來的空間,讓你慢慢理解自己,也一步一步走向更適合自己的生活。
Growth starts from understanding yourself.
Hi, I’m Rachel. The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work. I hope to offer a warm, safe, and supportive space where you can slow down, take a breath, and share what’s on your mind at your own pace. You may come to therapy because you need a space to pause, feel understood, and make sense of what has been weighing on you. You may also be looking to understand yourself more deeply, reconnect with your strengths, or grow in ways that feel meaningful to you. No matter what brings you here, you will be welcomed as a whole person, not just seen through the lens of a problem or struggle.
I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, low mood, self-doubt, grief and loss, relationship challenges, burnout, life transitions, past emotional wounds, and times of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about the next step. I also support first-generation and immigrant individuals navigating identity, belonging, cultural expectations, and family pressure. Additionally, I work with couples navigating communication challenges, conflict, disconnection, trust concerns, and relationship transitions.
Your story, culture, relationships, and lived experiences matter in how we understand what you are going through. Our work will be shaped around your needs, your pace, and what feels meaningful to you. Together, we can create space to better understand yourself, make sense of what you are feeling, and begin noticing the strengths and possibilities that may be harder to see when life feels overwhelming.
You do not need to have the right words, or everything figured out before reaching out. You can come as you are. My role is to listen with care, ask gentle questions, and offer reflection, structure, and tools when they are helpful. You will be met with warmth, curiosity, and respect, without pressure or judgment.
Having lived across cultures, I understand how change, transition, and different cultural expectations can shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and express our emotions. This experience helps me bring openness and sensitivity to every session, creating a space where you can feel understood and accepted.
About Me | 個人簡介
我的治療方式結合實證為本的心理治療與真誠的理解和陪伴。
我採用整合而具彈性的治療方式,不會用同一套方法套用在每一個人身上,而是會因應你的需要、步伐,以及對你來說真正重要的事情,一起尋找最適合你的方向。
在治療中,我會融合不同的心理治療取向,包括以人為中心治療、認知行為治療(CBT)、接納與承諾治療(ACT)、辯證行為治療(DBT)、焦點解決短期治療(SFBT)、內在家庭系統治療(IFS),以及動機式訪談法(MI)。我的工作亦會融入創傷知情取向,並參考依附理論、多重迷走神經理論、情緒取向的治療工作、敘事治療、身體取向的方法,以及 Gottman 方法在伴侶治療中的應用。
在我們一起工作的過程中,我們可能會慢慢理解和梳理一些難以承受的情緒,留意生活中反覆出現的想法、感受或行為模式,也探索過往的經歷如何影響現在的你。有時候,我們也會一起了解自己內在不同的感受和需要,看看那些容易被忽略、壓下來,或一直努力保護你的部分,究竟想告訴你甚麼。
我們亦可能會留意那把讓你懷疑自己、給自己很多壓力,或經常批評自己的內在聲音。與其急著把這些想法趕走,我們可以慢慢理解它們從何而來,並學習用多一點好奇、理解和關懷去回應自己。
同時,我們也可以重新連結那些對你真正重要的事情,找回自己的力量、優勢和價值觀,建立適合你的應對方法和實用工具,讓日常生活變得更容易面對。改變不一定需要一下子發生,我們可以按照適合你的步伐,從一些細小但有意義的改變開始,一步一步走向你希望的方向。
我相信,每個人身上都有自己的優勢、力量、能力和成長的可能。只是當生活變得很累、很混亂,或經歷一段困難的時期時,我們有時會暫時看不見這些部分,甚至忘記它們一直都在。
我希望透過治療,陪你更深入地了解自己,重新看見自己的力量、優勢和能力,也更相信自己可以作出適合自己的選擇。我的希望不是告訴你應該成為怎樣的人,而是陪你慢慢找到屬於自己的方向,走向一個更貼近你所重視、也更適合你自己的生活。
治療可以使用英語、廣東話或普通話進行。你可以選擇讓自己感到最自然、最自在,也最能表達自己的語言。
My approach blends evidence-based care with genuine connection.
I take an integrative and flexible approach, drawing from different therapeutic models so our work can be shaped around what feels most meaningful for you. My work draws from client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, solution-focused therapy, internal family systems, trauma-informed care, polyvagal theory, and motivational interviewing. I also draw from attachment theory, emotion-focused work, narrative therapy, somatic approaches, and Gottman-informed relational work.
We may make sense of difficult emotions, notice patterns that keep showing up, explore how past experiences affect the present, and understand the different parts of you that may need care, compassion, and understanding. Along the way, we may also notice the inner voice of doubt, pressure, or self-criticism and learn to respond to it with greater curiosity and compassion. Together, we can reconnect with what matters to you, rediscover your strengths and values, build coping skills and practical tools that make daily life feel more manageable, and take small steps toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
I believe each person carries strengths, abilities, and a capacity for growth, even when those parts of themselves feel difficult to access. My hope is to help you understand yourself more fully, reconnect with those strengths, and feel more empowered to make choices that support the life you want to live.
Sessions are available in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. You are welcome to use the language that helps you express yourself most naturally.
