“I see Xinyi for help for my anxiety and depression. Since I started therapy, I find it much easier to identify why I may be feeling a certain way, how I got there and what I can do to help myself.

My anxious thoughts, feelings and reactions were put into perspective and validated - not necessarily in the sense that I shouldn't take responsibility for my behaviours, but validated in the sense that there are reasons and/or triggers that influence my general anxious state, and therefore it's okay to take the space and time I need to take care of myself. It's easy to default to withdrawing and shutting down, but I've been shown that I can adopt healthier coping mechanisms, and there are really simple things I can do to "reset" and get myself out of an anxiety-triggered rabbit hole.

I'm looking forward to Xinyi's continued support and understanding, as that has helped me feel more capable of being in control of my issues and past unhealthy behavioural patterns.”
