About me

Hi, I’m Wenyu, and I’m dedicated to creating a compassionate and supportive space where we can navigate life’s challenges together. I understand that the journey toward meaningful growth isn’t always easy, especially when faced alone. My approach is grounded in the belief that transformation happens when we feel truly understood, valued, and supported. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with parents, families, and children in both school and private clinic settings, developing a deep understanding of the importance of collaboration between caregivers and educators. With a Montessori teaching background, I’ve worked with children across a variety of developmental stages, embracing a child-centered philosophy that emphasizes fostering independence, confidence, and curiosity. These experiences have shaped my ability to guide families with empathy, patience, and insight. In my work, I prioritize a balance of compassion, honesty, and active listening to create a space where you can feel grounded and discover your strengths. Whether addressing immediate needs or working toward long-term well-being, I aim to provide practical tools and fresh perspectives to support your goals. I hold a Master of Education from the University of Hong Kong and am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. This blend of academic knowledge and hands-on experience allows me to integrate evidence-based approaches into our work. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to promote resilience through mindful action, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to encourage self-kindness, and Narrative Therapy (NT) to help reframe personal stories in empowering ways. Outside of my professional work, I find joy and balance in cooking and practicing yoga, which keep me grounded and energized. My commitment to ongoing learning—through research, professional training, and exploring fresh perspectives—ensures that my approach evolves to meet the unique needs of each client. Taking that first step toward support can feel daunting, but I’m here to make it as comfortable as possible. I offer a free 15-minute consultation, giving us the opportunity to connect and explore whether we’re the right fit for your journey. I look forward to meeting you and partnering with you on this path.
