Wei-Hsien Chien

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. 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 hold a MA in psychotherapy and counselling. From 2010, I started working with people of all ages and backgrounds with a wide range of concerns: at a low-cost counselling service in London, at a hospice as a bereavement counsellor as well as in private practice.

Before changing my career, I worked in an international consultant firm. Having experienced work stress, peer competition and burnout in corporations, I have helped many university students as well as professionals find better coping strategies and rebalance their working-life.

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