“Vietnamese Psychotherapist | Counsellor | Existential and Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling”

About Me

I offer a warm space for you to explore life's deeper questions and challenges. As a Vietnamese psychotherapist, I understand the nuances of cultural identity and navigating life transitions. My integrative approach means our sessions are thoughtfully tailored, helping you find personal meaning and purpose. I support individuals seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their unique path forward.

Approach

An existential perspective guides how I listen—curious about meaning, culture and the personal choices that shape your days. Sessions are offered in English and Vietnamese, in Ho Chi Minh City or online, and are paced to what feels manageable for you. We work collaboratively with careful attention to feelings in the body, stories you tell, and small experiments or reflections between meetings so change can be noticed and practiced. This approach often helps adults facing loss, trauma, relationship shifts or cross-cultural questions.
