May Tsui

I adopted an integrative approach in my practice, mainly humanistic, trauma-informed and somatic approaches.

The humanistic approach emphasizes the value and personal worth of an individual. It is my passion to bring out the best in an individual despite difficulties and pain.

However, traumas (especially adverse childhood trauma) affect not only our mental health but also affects our functioning and interpersonal relationships.

I have a qualified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner. I have also completed Bodynamic Foundation Training. These somatic approaches help to alleviate our pain, even in cases when one cannot speak or describe what s/he had been going through.

I have been working as a counsellor and psychotherapist for nearly 14 years. I adopted an integrative approach, mainly humanistic, trauma-informed, and somatic approaches.

The humanistic approach emphasizes the value and personal worth of an individual. That is also my belief that every human being is worthy and valuable. It is my passion to bring out the best in an individual despite obstacles and pain.

However, traumas (including adverse childhood traumas and/or developmental traumas and shock traumas) affect not only our mental health but also our daily functions and interpersonal relationships.

I am a qualified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner. I have also completed Bodynamic's Foundation & Shock Trauma Trainings. These somatic approaches to working with traumas help reduce (or end in some cases) our pain and help us grow, that is, to develop new cognitive, psychosocial, and physical resources that will allow greater possibilities for future action. The client will be able to remain focused and in contact with others while successfully containing the high-level energies of the traumatic experience (Bodynamic International).

I can have a free initial telephone conversation (around 20 minutes) with those who approach me and want to know more about the therapy. I may also get a brief knowledge of the background and goals of those who called.
