"In this space, you are welcome as you are --
no masks, no pressure, just presence.
A place to rest, to grow, and to prepare for flight."

Hello, I’m Kat — a Sydney-based trilingual counsellor offering sessions in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.
I believe that healing begins the moment you feel genuinely seen and accepted.
Over the years, I have walked alongside individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.
I’ve witnessed quiet courage, vulnerability, and the deeply human desire to be understood.
Every story is unique, and it is a privilege to be entrusted with yours.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in cultural sensitivity. I respect your pace, your experiences, and the way you make sense of your world. Seeking help takes courage — and I’m here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore, heal, and grow.
I believe in the gentle power of empathy, curiosity, and small steps —
because even the smallest shift can open the door to meaningful change.
