Hi, I’m Connie.

I’m a British Chinese counsellor offering online counselling in English to adults in Switzerland and the UK. Together, we can explore what sits beneath familiar patterns and make sense of the experiences that have shaped them.

I offer a space where you don’t have to filter or perform, and where all parts of you are welcome.

My Story

The experiences I bring to counselling shape how I understand identity, complexity, belonging and meaningful change.

Where I'm (really) from

I was born and raised in East London. My mother is from Hong Kong and my father from mainland China. My family moved to the UK in the 1970s to build a new life. I grew up as a Chinese takeaway kid, watching my mum cook and my grandmother make spring rolls. Living between British and Chinese cultures shaped my understanding of identity, belonging and navigating different worlds. Moving to Switzerland in my late 30s added another layer to that experience. I understand what it can be like to live between cultures, and how questions of identity, family expectations, independence and belonging can be difficult to put into words.

Before counselling

After studying Information Systems, I spent over a decade in data, insight and technology. Over time, I found myself wanting a career with a stronger sense of meaning and purpose. I retrained and completed an MA in Counselling, driven by a curiosity about what shapes us and what makes change possible.

Connecting the dots

My systems background helps me notice connections, consider different perspectives, and understand the wider picture. Together, we can explore what may be maintaining difficulties and what might help.

My Approach

I don’t follow a single formula. Depending on what you bring, we might stay with an emotion, explore a recurring pattern, notice how experiences are felt in the body, or look at what happens between you and other people. I adapt the work to you and what feels most useful in the session.

Understanding inner patterns Exploring inner conflict, protective responses and the emotions beneath familiar patterns. Read more Show less

Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a compassionate way of understanding inner conflicts, patterns and protective responses that can shape how you feel and behave. Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps us pay close attention to emotion as it arises, so experiences that feel overwhelming, confusing or stuck can begin to make sense and shift.

Pain, sensations and the nervous system Exploring persistent pain and physical symptoms through a mind-body lens. Read more Show less

When persistent pain or physical symptoms are part of the picture, I may draw on Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). This involves exploring how the brain and nervous system may have learned to respond to sensations, while helping to build a greater sense of safety around them.

Trauma and attachment Understanding how earlier experiences and relationships may continue to shape the present. Read more Show less

I also draw on trauma-informed practice and attachment theory, exploring how earlier relationships and difficult experiences may have shaped emotional responses, patterns of connection, your sense of safety and how you see yourself.
