I am Lilian Lin, a BACP accredited counsellor, who has consistently seen the positive changes that therapy achieves in helping to heal people on a deeper level. I provide a safe, accepting, non-judgmental and confidential space for you to explore your emotional, experiences, and difficulties, or spiritual issues. My goal is assist you in making personal changes and re-gain the balances in live.
My approach to therapy is humanistic; I value and respect each client regardless of his or her culture and background. I believe that every one of us has the capacity to grow internally, to achieve our personal goals. My job is to facilitate and support you to make sense of the issues that you are facing, and support you to remove any blocks that hinder your inner potential. I will apply the most suitable theories and skills according to your need and situation.
Each session with me is an opportunity for you to be truly heard; I will help you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behavioural patterns so that you can recognize , accept, and become more aware of yourself in order to change better and live in a more fulfillment life.
I work with people 18+ individually and couples.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
