Tsui Ling, Therapist, ReachOut Counselling
Approach to Therapy

My Approach

With more than a decade of working experience in the helping sector, I have been in social service agencies, hospitals and in the private practice. I have also worked as a mental health professional for few years, addressing those with suffering from depression, anxiety, or both, psychotic issues as well as those with past addictions (eating issues, substance abuse). 

​

Adopting a person-centered approach in my work, I believe that positive support and/or change of clients comes through providing a nurturing and compassionate safe space for and with the client.

 

The safety of the client, not just the physical orienting of the external space but also the internal emotional safe space within us is integral and important in our work together as we explored the presenting concerns. 

​

As a therapist, I also take responsibility to undergo continuous external consultation/ supervision and trainings so that I remain updated with evidence-based approaches and offer what could be best support for clients.

​

I am heavily influenced by somatic practice, sandplay/expressive arts*  as well as Internal Family System modality to connect with each client’s uniqueness and strengths.  At the end of the day, I believe strongly in my clients’ inherent ability to heal given the appropriate therapeutic support in the safe and loving environment. 

 

*Please note that sessions will be held face to face for clients requesting Sandplay. Operating address at two locations for choice: CBD area or at a heartland location

​​

Being trauma trained, I offer a range of mind-body, emotional relief and trauma-informed
interventions to support the client. I gravitate towards working with clients on their usual
question of "what’s wrong with me?" to the exploring question of: 

​​​

​​

"What is happening with me?"

​​

​​

The latter question constantly offers and opens up possibilities and more choices towards

working with what has been impacting on the client. Greater clarity and confidence often follow. 

 

It is often a joy to be a witness of this transformative effect on client, and where their Self takes the lead

in any decision making and/or making sense of what had been happening in their current reality.
