Hana Counselling and Education Limited
Our company has Ikigai to support vulnerable children, adolescents, adults, and the community through therapy, workshops/training, and dance classes.
Now, many people are struggling with mental health, addiction, abusive relationships, financial stress, and uncertain worldwide stressful moments.
We believe we can go through this challenging time by learning psychology, healing by therapy, doing self-care activities, and kindness for ourselves and others.
Please refer to the blog for your information to understand the Japanese philosophy of Ikigai.
Therapy service
I believe the relationship between the client and myself is equal and therapeutic by the holistic perspective, which means we create your new counselling journey with a comfortable and safe environment.
I use my own life experience and work experience as a social worker and counsellor to combine different interventions. My basic concept of counselling comes from Morita therapy and Naikkan therapy. These two therapies will improve your resilience and guide you to start your new life.
To sustain the effective and safe practice, I refer to other counselling models and theories such as Person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Transitional Analysis, and Art therapy. I always check your preference and progress not only by us but also by my supervisor in confidentiality.
I am an EMDR therapist and trauma researcher, too.
