Wei-Hsien Chien

I am an accredited member of BACP and have a MA in psychotherapy and counselling. My client groups range from university students and professionals to people transiting into elder-hood as well as across diverse cultures. I use different approaches (such as CBT, psychodynamic, embodiment, dreams…), tailoring therapy to your individual needs. 

I have worked in private practice for several years. Before taking a career change to become a psychotherapist , I worked in an international business consulting firm. Having experienced work stress and peer competition, I have helped many professionals work through their burn out, panic attacks, general anxiety and depression. I am currently working with clients from academics, high tech engineers and NHS employees, etc.

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

Weight issue, emotional eating, body image

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

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 15-30 minutes, either online or in person, which gives you the opportunity to discuss your needs and to ask questions about therapy and how I work.
