Hello, I am Yan, a registered counsellor and executive coach. I offer a warm, grounded and culturally sensitive space for you to explore who you are, what holds you back, and what you want for your life going forward.
With over 20 years of corporate experience—including senior roles supporting UK–China cross-border work—I understand the pressures of high-performance environments, career transitions, identity struggles, and the search for balance and meaning.
I work fluently in both English and Mandarin, and my cross-cultural background enables me to support clients navigating multicultural identity, work environments, and family dynamics.
I trained in integrative therapeutic counselling and am currently completing the Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching at Henley Business School.
My work combines psychological depth with a future-focused, practical mindset. This allows me to support clients not only in healing past wounds, but also in building confidence, clarity and direction for the future.
I have experience working with a wide range of clients—including professionals, parents, international clients, and individuals navigating life transitions—helping them make sense of their emotional world and move toward a more fulfilling life.
My approach
My approach is integrative, tailored to your unique needs, and grounded in both therapeutic and coaching models. I draw from:
• Person-Centred Therapy – offering warmth, acceptance and space for you to reconnect with your true self
• Psychodynamic Theory – understanding how past experiences and relationships shape your behaviour today
• Solution-Focused Therapy – helping you identify strengths and move toward practical, achievable change
• Gestalt – bringing awareness to your present-moment experience, patterns and relational dynamics
• Somatic Approaches – supporting you to understand and regulate emotions through the body
• Executive & Personal Coaching – enabling clarity, confidence and purposeful action for your future goals
This integrated approach allows me to work with both depth and direction. We can explore the root of your struggles—such as shame, anxiety, low self-worth, boundaries, relationship patterns or cultural identity—and also build forward momentum, empowering you to realise your potential and achieve the life you want.
