More about Iwen

6 years' experience
Female
BACP

I am a registered member with BACP (British Association for Conselling and Psychotherapy). I have had 7 years of professional work experience in helping clients with different issues, such as stress and anxiety, relationship, family conflicts, depression... etc.

I'm trained as a psychotherapist (person-centred) in the UK and have lived most my adult life abroad. I've worked with people coming from different backgrounds and it has enabled me to see challenges and struggles that people go through at different stages in life.

I believe in every process each of us is going through as well as the power to become who we would like to be. With my experience of living in different countries (United Kingdom, Germany, China, Taiwan), I'm able to support and explore different life challenges with my client with an open-mind.

I work as a person-centred therapist and combines it with CBT approach when needed. Providing my clients a safe environment and help them to empower and explore themselves are my top priority.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
