Her counselling approach is trauma-informed and blended with a broad training history, allowing her to tailor techniques to each individual's needs, including:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Narrative Therapy

Creative and Expressive Therapy

Transactional Analysis (TA)
Mei is currently training in Emotional-Focused Therapy (EFT), known for improving couples' relationships. She also integrates Imago therapy techniques into couple counselling, enhancing flexibility and adaptability for each couple and family.
Mei specialises in ADHD, assisting many clients in improving their academic performance, social skills, interpersonal relationships, and family dynamics.

“2023 was the darkest year of my life. However, I consider myself lucky because I had the privilege of meeting Mei, who guided me and helped me emerge from the darkness. It's like she slowly pieced together the shattered me, creating a new version – brave, strong, believing in love and warmth.
After more than half year's counselling, I gained a clear understanding of myself and learned to treat myself kindly. Mei helped me shift from blaming my original family to appreciating my parents, giving me a greater ability to perceive happiness and beauty. I believe everyone needs counselling because professionals like Mei help us understand ourselves. Mei is a great listener who documents all my changes and provides periodic summaries. Because of her, I can love this world again."
