Bridgeway Counselling
Welcome to Bridgeway Counselling. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next steps, therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect. You don’t have to face your challenges alone—I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Life can sometimes leave us feeling lost, disconnected, or burdened. Perhaps you’re dealing with difficult emotions, unresolved trauma, relationship tensions, or the feeling that something’s missing. It can be exhausting to navigate these struggles alone, and reaching out might feel vulnerable or even daunting. At Bridgeway Counselling, my priority is creating a safe, confidential environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood. My role is to gently guide you towards greater clarity, self-compassion, and healing, providing a safe haven as you bravely explore your emotional world.
My Counselling Philosophy
Humanistic Integrative, blending elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Existential Therapy.
I see therapy as a bridge—from confusion to clarity, from disconnection to reconnection, from pain to healing. My approach centres on warmth, compassion, and empowerment, allowing you to lead the pace.
What to Expect from Therapy:
Therapy is a gentle, collaborative process where you'll feel heard and understood. We'll explore your experiences at your own rhythm, building resilience, self-understanding, and clarity.
Services Offered
Professional counseling services tailored to your needs. I support clients with anxiety, low self-worth and confidence, cultural challenges, relationship difficulties, grief, developmental trauma, trauma recovery, and those adjusting to life as international students.
Identity Counseling
Exploring your cultural and intergenerational identity can be complex. Receive support in navigating these challenges and embracing your unique identity with confidence.
Anxiety Support
Relationship Therapy
Empathetic guidance for managing anxiety and stress. Let's work together to find effective coping strategies and regain a sense of calm and control.
Enhance your communication skills and deepen your connections. Overcome obstacles in relationships and foster healthier, more fulfilling interactions.
Ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth?
Although I’m based in Poole and Bournemouth, I offer online counselling to adults across the UK.
I provide therapy in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, and welcome enquiries from individuals who may feel more at ease expressing themselves in their native language.
I have experience working with clients from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds and offer a space where your language, identity, and lived experience are respected and understood.
Understanding Your Journey, Wherever You’re From
At Bridgeway Counselling, support is offered with cultural sensitivity, lived experience, and deep compassion. With a background working with international students across the UK and time spent living in both the UK, Hong Kong and Mainland China, I understand how complex it can be to adjust to a new culture, learn in a different language, and navigate the emotional tension between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.
I work with students and young adults from all cultural backgrounds, offering a safe, inclusive space to explore identity, belonging, emotional wellbeing, and life transitions. Whether you’re feeling caught between cultures or simply overwhelmed by change, you don’t have to face it alone. We can explore your sense of self together at your own pace.
