“I was initially referred to Xinyi by my endocrinologist for support regarding my weight loss, but things took a drastic turn last year and I needed more pressing and urgent support for my mental well-being to help deal with issues in both my personal and work life. 

Xinyi has provided me with a listening ear, a safe space to share (and vent), offered constructive viewpoints and suggestions, all without judgement. She also does not try and force certain therapy treatments/suggestions on me. As someone with a limited support network, the validation of what I experienced and struggled with in a toxic relationship has been really useful and helped to support me through a very difficult period last year and even through my healing process up until today.

I anticipate a difficult transition as I move to my new workplace, and having a source of support and empathy, a listening ear, and receiving constructive feedback would help, especially from someone who is familiar with how the civil service works. Beyond that, I am still managing the fallout from ending my toxic relationship last year and thus find it helpful to have regular check-ins. I also hope to cultivate better mental habits and emerge as a person with more positive mental habits.”
