In the spirit of reconciliation I acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. I pay my respect to their Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

welcome
hey there
My name is Mei and I am an Integrative Psychotherapist based in Melbourne, specialising in Arts Therapy, Dreamwork and Tarot in Therapy.
I companion people of all ages and stages and from all walks of life, across Australia and internationally, in coming home to themselves, where they can reconnect with their own inner strengths, wisdom and authority.
Therapy with me, is an inclusive space for safe exploration, embodiment and understanding of conscious and unconscious knowing and expression. All of you is welcome.

COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY
Life is indeed beautiful, yet it can also be painful and difficult.
Part of the experience of being human includes suffering, struggle and often despair.
The good news is that you donโt have to face this alone.
I Support individuals through many of lifeโs challenges, including:
Self-esteem and confidence
Self-development
Creativity
Depression, anxiety and stress
Grief & loss
Trauma recovery
Sexual abuse
Childhood issues
Life transitions
Dreams & nightmares
Spirituality & religion
Existential concerns
THE ROOTs of our problems are often hidden beneath the surface
As we grow through life and adapt to our environment, we develop unconscious coping strategies which provide us with ways to avoid pain and orient towards comfort and sometimes false feelings of security.
You may have found now, that these modes of operation are outdated and are no longer serving you.
For patterns to change on the outside, we must start on the inside
The unconscious is a storehouse for life's experiences, the creator of dreams, the home of intuition and a source for inspiration and creativity.
While it may seem like mysterious or even frightening territory, when approached carefully with a qualified psychotherapist, this realm can offer a wealth of knowledge, gifts and resources for you to draw upon.
In our work together, I will assist you in connecting to the often hidden, feared or rejected aspects of yourself and the stories that made you. We can then safely bring what is discovered to light, so that it can be expressed, processed and integrated with compassion and care.
How we will work together
With a sensitive, trauma-informed and holistic approach, I will meet you with an open mind and an open heart. Our work will empower you to gain inner strength, confidence, clarity and insight into your life and your experiences.
Sessions will not follow a rigid structure - I am guided by you, and what arises within the space, from moment to moment.
We will draw from a range of embodied and experiential modalities to help you to access, express and process your inner life.
The space we will co-create is one of safety and trust, non-judgement and freedom of expression.
Here, you will be supported through your inner work, with deep listening, honesty and gentleness, allowing you to recognise and move through and out of old ways of being for a new way of life.
My approach to therapy includes traditional โTalk Therapyโ, as well as Arts Therapy, Dreamwork, and Tarot in Therapy.
How we will work in session, however, is entirely up to you!
