    About Lina

    Hello, my name is Lina and I am a psychotherapist and couple counsellor specialising in psychosexual and relationship therapy. I believe every one of us has a special internal power that helps us heal and grow; if you have temporarily lost this power, I am here to help you regain it. My motto is “To feel and to express – to be aware and look for solutions,” and I provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can feel truly listened to and supported.

    My therapy sessions are tailored to each couple’s or individual’s specific needs. I draw upon various modalities, including CBT, attachment theory, psychodynamic therapy, imago therapy, and existential therapy to ensure the support you receive is effective. I am fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese, which allows me to work comfortably with a diverse range of clients.

    Through my Chinese heritage, I deeply appreciate how cultural differences, family backgrounds, and differing value systems can impact a partnership. I help couples who feel they have a 'bridge to cross' to find harmony by seeing their differences through a new lens. My goal is to guide you in identifying the factors affecting your relationship and sex life, helping you move from negativity toward a more fulfilling connection.

    Background & Experience

    My interest in people’s thoughts, lives, and relationships has been a lifelong journey. I am driven by a passion for helping people make positive changes when they feel stuck in a swirl of negativity. After twenty years of working in the finance sector, I chose to retrain as a psychotherapist to dedicate my career to supporting others through their personal and relational challenges.

    I am qualified to Diploma level in Relationship and Psychosexual Therapy and hold accredited memberships with both COSRT and the NCPS. My background allows me to handle sensitive areas of relationship dynamics with ease, and I am experienced in helping clients navigate everything from daily communication breakdowns to complex psychosexual difficulties.

    We will work together to define your relationship goals, whether you aim to deepen your connection, find clarity, or navigate separation respectfully.

    I'll support you in understanding and embracing your unique backgrounds, fostering a stronger, more resilient partnership built on mutual respect.
