Lina Chen

Hello, my name is Lina and I am an psychotherapist and couple counsellor specialising in psychosexual and relationship therapy. I’m qualified to Diploma level in Relationship and Psychosexual Therapy and a registered member of COSRT (College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists), along with the NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society).

Through having a Chinese heritage, I appreciate and understand how cultural differences can have an impact on relationships. Factors such a different family backgrounds, communities, different values, belief systems and life experiences, can influence couples who would like harmony in their relationship, and might feel they have a bridge to cross. However, through having relationship therapy and they reach the other side, they may see things differently. 

We all the need and desire to feel listened to, heard and supported and would like the space to express our true feelings. Therefore, I provide a warm, safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to be able to do just that. My motto is “To feel and to express – to be aware and look for solutions”. Hence, I will guide the couples to really listen to each other’s perspective so they are able to identify the factors that might be negatively impacting their relationship, sex life and life in general.

I believe every one of us has a special internal power, which helps us retain our sense of self to heal and grow. If you temporarily lose this power, I will help you to regain it. 

My therapy sessions are tailored for each couple’s or individual’s needs. For example, I may draw upon CBT therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic therapy, imago therapy, existential therapy, etc.

I am fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese.
