Hello, I am Julia. As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor with a Master of Education and nearly 10 years of experience, I offer a compassionate sanctuary for personal growth. My clinical background includes specialized training in CBT, EFT, IFS, EMDR, Gottman Method, and Drama Therapy.

 


Throughout my practice, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, including men, women, teens, parents, kids, and couples.

My practice focuses on family dynamics, anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma recovery. Together, we will look beneath the symptoms to reclaim your authentic self.

Individual Counselling

Meaningful change starts with being deeply seen and understood. Drawing on years of clinical experience, I support individuals facing anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, grief and long-standing emotional patterns that feel hard to shift. I integrate EMDR, IFS, EFT and other evidence-informed tools to help clients not only cope, but truly shift long-standing patterns and experience deeper healing. With my years of experience, I effectively help you step out of old emotional and relational patterns, guiding you toward deeper and lasting healing.

Couples Counselling
婚姻、伴侣与婚前辅导

Meaningful transformation starts in a supportive environment. With extensive experience supporting many couples, I offer premarital counselling for healthy starts, help break patterns of distance, loneliness and communication breakdowns, and work with family-of-origin strengthen your bond and rebuild trust after betrayal.

Areas I often work with include:
• Emotional disconnection and growing distance
• Recurring arguments that never get resolved
• Betrayal, affairs and broken trust
• Feeling more like roommates than partners

These are patterns that couples often struggle to change on their own. I  create a structure to help couples practice new ways of connecting that are hard to build without professional support.

有意义的关系改变,始于一个被支持与理解的空间。凭借多年与不同伴侣同行的经验,我提供婚前辅导,协助你们建立健康的起点;也帮助伴侣打破疏离、孤独与沟通失联的模式,并一同面对原生家庭与亲子创伤,让关系更稳固,在背叛之后重新建立信任。

常见服务领域:
• 情感疏远、关系渐行渐远
• 一吵再吵、却始终无法真正解决的问题
• 外遇、背叛与信任破裂
• 来自原生家庭创伤,依恋模式的影响和个性,文化,育儿的差异冲突

这些模式往往很难仅靠伴侣自己就打破。在婚姻与伴侣咨询中,我们会在安全、有结构的对话中放慢节奏,看见冲突背后真正发生的事,并练习新的互动方式,帮助你们建立更深的连结与安全感。

Therapy Session Discussion

Children Teen Counselling 儿童、青少年与家庭疗愈

Family healing often begins when one person is ready to look more deeply at what is happening beneath behaviour, conflict or silence. With years of experience working with children, teens and parents, I help families understand the emotional needs behind “acting out”, withdrawal, anxiety or school struggles, and find new ways to connect.

Areas I often work with include:
• Emotional and behavioural challenges in children and teens
• Anxiety, low mood and school avoidance
• Parent–child conflict and communication breakdowns 


In our work, I use creative and developmentally appropriate approaches such as play, art, story and drama-based methods, alongside parent sessions, to support deeper understanding and more secure, resilient family relationships.

家庭与青少年疗愈,往往从愿意多看一眼行为背后发生了什么开始。凭借多年与儿童、青少年及父母同行的经验,我帮助家庭理解“问题行为”、退缩、焦虑或学习困难背后的情绪需要,并找到新的连接方式。

常见服务领域:
• 儿童与青少年的情绪与行为困扰
• 焦虑、情绪低落与逃避上学
• 亲子冲突与沟通失联
。。。。。

在咨询中,我会运用富有创意且符合发展阶段的方法,并结合父母会谈,帮助家庭更深地理解彼此,建立更安全、有韧性的亲子与家庭关系。

Woman Deep In Thought

OCD Therapy (ERP Applied) 强迫症治疗(应用ERP疗法)

I provide specialized therapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), using ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) as a core approach. Together, we build a clear step-by-step plan to face fears, reduce rituals and loosen the grip of intrusive thoughts, so life is no longer controlled by OCD. Having witnessed many teens and young adults suffering from the heavy weight of OCD, I chose to complete advanced training and am devoted to supporting adults and teens through this profound pain.


我为强迫症(OCD)来访者提供专业治疗,并以ERP(暴露与反应预防)为主要方法之一。我们会一起制定循序渐进的练习计划,在安全可控的节奏中面对恐惧、减少强迫行为,让生活逐渐不再被强迫思维与行为所掌控。在工作中,我看到许多青少年和年轻人在OCD中挣扎,这驱使我完成了专门的训练,并致力于支持处于这种痛苦中的成年人与青少年。
