Mr Will Chen Psychologist

I believe the most valuable facet of therapy is connecting on a human to human level, because everyone deserves to have their voice heard. I always make sure to put your needs first to make sure we’re working towards the same goals, so I’d like to think my client-centred approach varies depending on the support you’re after. I think it’s important to acknowledge that seeking support requires a high level of vulnerability and that an unfortunately necessary part of the process often involves me asking you a lot of deeply personal questions, so I check in every session to make sure that you’re comfortable with the path we’re taking. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than helping to equip you with the skills and insights to create lasting change. Though I cherish the therapeutic relationships I build, I would also prefer that you never have to see me again!
