I can provide social work advocacy and counseling interventions using integrative and holistic therapeutic approaches bilingually (English and Mandarin).
Since 2007, I have worked in the health sector providing social work and counselling in different settings. In 2017 I set up a private practice to fully utilise my knowledge and skills to benefit local communities, especially the migrant and ethnic people.
I believe there is no perfect model when working in New Zealand – the island of diversity. I work culturally respectfully and sensitively with clients from all cultures and walks of life.
My special expertise is combining social work experience and counseling skills to talk through issues like
- depression,
- anxiety,
- insomnia,
- social phobia,
- relationships in the workplace and families,
- financial hardship,
- housing problems,
- grief and bereavement,
- palliative care and carers burden;
- seeking ways to reduce or resolve the issue, achieving goals set by the clients.
From my successful settlement journey, I understand the challenges faced by migrants and refugees. I would walk alongside my clients when they face life changes and adjustments. I am willing to advocate and assist my clients in developing their goals and plans to fit their needs.
I provide a mobile clinic within the Great Auckland area and online sessions are available nationwide.
