Yu Chai | Therapist | Wellbeing Centre London

I am an Accredited Psychotherapist with over 10 years experience and 600 clinical hours working with individual, couples and groups.

I work integratively, drawing on psychodynamic and psychoanalytic, mindfulness and art approaches.

I create a safe space for clients to ground and integrate the body-mind-emotion connection, which eventually leads to find the resources and solutions within clients.

I value compassion, respect, partnership in relationship dynamics when working with clients.

I have worked for a number of organisations in London including City Dynamic Therapy, The Awareness Centre, and Controlling Chemsex.

Prior to therapy work, I worked for 20 years for a multi-national organisations as Head of HR and subsenquenlty an Executive Coach with multi-cultural context.

I lived in UK, US and China and traveled extensively therefore I am aware and appreciate cultural diversities.

I specialise in helping clients through counselling, psychotherapy, coaching, hypnotherapy, dance and movement psychotherapy.

I work with Adults, Children and Couples.

Working with Couples

I work with couples primarily to help them with communication and sexual issues.

I adopt an integrative approach, such as Psychodynamic drawing on Psychoanalytic and Mindfulness, creating a safe space for each party to feel grounded, heard, and understood.

Working with children 6+ and teens

I help children and adolescents with issues of Anxiety; Depression; Addiction; mild ASD, ADHD, OCD, PTSD; Shyness or Social Phobia; Behavioral and Family issues.

I adopt an integrative approach, normally start from body awareness and some movement work, sometimes use art and play, aiming to let my clients bring themselves in the 'here and now', naturally connect their inner world to the present.

This age group is gifted with creativities, I make them feel safe to explore and express themselves, find their hidden strengths, confidence and courange. When they start to trust themselves, they will find their own way, resources and solutions both intra-and interpersonally.
