COUNSELLING & EXECUTIVE COACHING SERVICES
Counselling and Executive Coaching for people at a crossroads in their career, their life, or both.
Sometimes you know something needs to change, but you don't know what that change should look like.
​
You may be carrying difficult experiences from the past, struggling with anxiety or confidence, or finding that old patterns are getting in the way. Or perhaps your career no longer feels right, you're facing a major decision, or you're questioning what comes next.
​
I offer a warm, thoughtful space to pause, make sense of what is happening, and work out your next step, without judgement or pressure.
​
Counselling can help you understand and work through what is holding you back. Coaching can help you gain clarity and move forward with purpose.

HOW I WORK
Two ways to work together
Whether you're here for counselling or coaching, or not yet sure which -Â you're in the right place.
EXECUTIVE COACHING
Clarity when your career no longer makes sense.
For professionals who feel stuck, are considering a career change, navigating redundancy or promotion, struggling with confidence, or questioning what they want next.
​
Coaching gives you dedicated space to step back, think clearly, challenge assumptions and make decisions that are aligned with your values and ambitions.
​
For Chinese professionals working in the UK, I also offer an understanding of the cultural expectations and complexities that can shape career and workplace experiences.
Carrying something heavy
Past trauma, difficult relationships, anxiety, or a long-running loss of confidence. You've been managing it. You're tired of just managing it.
Successful on the outside, struggling on the inside
You may look as though you have everything together, while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious or uncertain about what comes next.
You might recognise yourself here
WHO I WORK WITH
At a crossroads
Something has changed. Perhaps you're questioning your career, facing redundancy, considering a major decision or simply no longer feel that your current life fits.
Navigating two cultures
You may be balancing family expectations, cultural identity and professional life between China and the UK, working hard but feeling that your efforts and achievements aren't always recognised.
"Rather than telling me the answer, Yan led me through deep exploration so I could arrive at my own conclusion and that made all the difference."
COACHING CLIENT
"I came to Yan after failing a promotion interview and questioning my direction. Through her guidance, I regained clarity and confidence and secured two job offers aligned with the future I consciously chose."

In their own words
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"I walk out of her sessions feeling heard and accepted for who I am. She has helped me come to a place of self-awareness through her diligence, patience, and sensitivity."
COUNSELLING CLIENT
"Yan's warmth and humanity provides a safe and accepting environment in which I feel able to open up. Our sessions always leave me feeling lighter from having shared my experiences, from feeling heard and acknowledged, from being understood. She gives me confidence in the future."
COUNSELLING CLIENT
"Yan has been a guiding hand throughout my therapy. She has created a calm, reflective and empathetic space that has allowed me to move forward. I feel safe with her and trust that she listens whilst supporting me to go deeper. This is the first time in my adult life I have felt on the path to healing, and my work with Yan has been central to this."
COUNSELLING CLIENT
"Yan is a skilled coach who brings out the best in me, not by giving me answers, but by helping me discover them for myself."
