“I started seeing Xinyi in 2017 for an array of different difficulties such as anxiety, family dynamic issues, eating disorder, PTSD, coping strategies and stress management with most of them intertwining with one another.

I have always taken the stance that therapy does not always have to revolve around negative topics of concern and urgency. I view my sessions with Xinyi as equally enriching during the more positive seasons of my life as they help me reinforce and perpetuate my positive behaviours and habits. Her reminders and affirmation of what I am doing right alongside encouragement of what I should implement in my life give me a sense of balance and mental clarity.

I am looking forward to receiving more advice and a change in perspective for me to better know how to problem-solve certain issues, especially those that, with Xinyi’s coaching, I have learned to accept and have made peace with. With me not having many people I can confide in, Xinyi’s providing me with concrete, actionable steps is something I need as they help guide my feelings and actions. Overall, having a clear plan of knowing what to do in times of crisis is the most beneficial for me as it would prevent me from feeling overwhelmed and lost.”
