Psychodynamic Psychotherapist
My name is Hoi Yin. As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore what may be on your mind and how these difficulties may be impacting your everyday life.
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on understanding how past experiences, unconscious processes, and early relationships continue to influence the way we think, feel, and relate to others in the present. By gently exploring these patterns together, therapy can support greater self-awareness, emotional insight, and lasting change.
I believe therapy helps us understand the emotional roots of our difficulties and how they continue to shape our lives. My aim is to support you in making sense of your experiences and developing a deeper understanding of yourself, beyond labels or diagnoses.
In my practice, I value autonomy, empowerment, integrity, and compassion. I aim to provide a respectful and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
I offer psychotherapy to young people and adults who may be experiencing difficulties related to academic pressures, relationships, anxiety, or depression. I have particular experience working with trauma, personality disorders, mood disorders, recurring relational patterns, and questions of identity and culture.
I also work with individuals who have autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This can be explored further during the initial consultation and assessment, where we can discuss your expectations and consider together how a psychodynamic approach may be helpful for you.
English is my main working language. I am also fluent in Cantonese and can offer therapy in Cantonese if this feels more comfortable. I come from a British-born Chinese background, which may be helpful for clients who wish to explore cultural identity and experiences within therapy.
I offer weekly face-to-face and online sessions, providing a consistent and reliable therapeutic framework for our work together.

You may have seen me through my work with CPSL Mind, where I have facilitated workshops and taken part in an interview promoting wellbeing initiatives such as calm spaces. This work is held separately from my therapeutic practice, as it sits outside the psychodynamic framework that underpins my psychotherapy work.
