About Me

​Originally from Hong Kong, I was trained and qualified in Scotland. As an experienced Chartered Librarian for 15 years I have diverse experience across high schools, further education, and prison settings. I possess a deep understanding of challenges faced by individuals from various cultural, professional, educational, and socio-economic backgrounds.

 

My commitment to supporting others extends beyond librarianship. I embarked on my counselling training journey while continuing my librarian role within prison setting. I have volunteered as a Listener for a charity focused on suicide prevention and currently serve as a Volunteer Therapist at West Lothian Drug and Alcohol Service. Through facilitating therapeutic writing workshops and CBT Psychoeducation Workshops in Anxiety and Depression for prisoners, I strive to make a positive impact on those affected by trauma and other mental health issues. 


I provide therapeutic services to enhance mental wellbeing through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My expertise includes personalised treatment plans in a safe, empathetic environment. Together, we will work to achieve your mental health goals.

Life can present us with profound challenges, and my journey is a testament to resilience and transformation. Having navigated the loss of loved ones to terminal illnesses and suicide, experienced the heartache of a long-term relationship breakdown, and faced work-related stress and burnout, I understand the depths of struggle. Coupled with my professional expertise and a passion for helping others, I am committed to supporting those seeking to transform their lives. I believe that I can offer hope and guidance to anyone in need.
