"Before starting therapy in 2022, I was struggling with mood issues, depression, anxiety, low self-confidence, social anxiety, and ongoing family difficulties. At times, I also experienced suicidal thoughts. My psychiatrist referred me to Xinyi to support my recovery and personal growth.

From our first session, Xinyi created a safe and supportive space where I felt heard. She not only listened but gently challenged my thought patterns, helping me reframe my perspectives and made me feel heard. I also appreciate how she challenged me to step outside my comfort zone, especially in the early days. Back then, I found it almost impossible to initiate conversations in group settings due to my paralysing fear of judgement from others. Through her calm presence, warm approach, and regular monthly challenges, I gradually became more at ease in my interactions with others in university. 

Today, I feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin. My family has noticed a marked improvement in my mood and behaviour ever since my initial sessions and have encouraged me to seek out Xinyi, especially when they noticed me reverting to my old self during a period where I did not meet with Xinyi for a prolonged period. Also, her encouragement and affirmations continue to remind me that what I feel is valid and worth exploring.

I’m truly grateful to have met Xinyi. Her consistent support and guidance have helped me navigate a difficult period in my life. I look forward to continuing this journey in a space where I can express myself freely, without pressure or judgment.”
