Nice to meet you here. Let’s bring up some lights.
Counselling that improve your mental health
Jocelyn, me, the counsellor and owner of Gentle Light has been working on improving children and adults’ mental health for more than 15 years in clinical settings. In over 11 years with Toronto CAS, I had worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, and assisted many of them in tough situations. I practice in the anti-oppression, anti-racism framework with a strength-based focus and through trauma-informed lens.
I am a professionally trained and registered social worker who has special interests in families relationship, partner relationships, attachment, trauma, fertility, and mental health issues (including depression, anxiety, stress, anger, trauma, addiction, grief, self-esteem and identity).
I hold a master degree in Social Work, and speak fluently in both English and Mandarin. I plan to gently lead you to discover your inner voice, strength, and resilience. As a register social worker, I am determined to support you and provide a welcoming and confidential space for you.
A strength-based counselling
It’s my believe that there is strength in everyone. I value the resilience and the power of healing that could be enhanced by self- awareness and discovery. It is important for me to listen to your needs and tailor my service to be the best match for your needs.
Other Approaches:
• Client-centered • Culturally-sensitive
• Trauma-informed • LGBTQ+ friendly
• Anti- oppressive • Anti-racist
• Non-judgemental
