Offering Counselling Services for Adults in English and Cantonese
Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
Nicole Lam
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor devoted to guiding individuals on their healing journeys through improving overall wellness and building strong relationships. I strive to bring a unique blend of cultural insight to my counselling practice and create a safe space for diverse communities. Grounded in attachment theory, my approach focuses on nurturing self-acceptance and empowerment, particularly in navigating life transitions, relationships, and identity exploration.
I believe that having the right support when embarking on a healing journey can be one of the most important elements to self-transformation. Together with my clients, I strive to co-create a space of connection, acceptance, self-awareness, and strength to support you with your therapy goals. Working in a client-centred approach is also at the foundation of my therapeutic ethos. Through authentic attunement, you can expect to feel seen and embraced for who you are in order to take the necessary steps towards positive change. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them face their shadows in order to uncover opportunities for inner growth and expansion.
My Therapeutic Approach
As a BIPOC counsellor, creating safe, inclusive spaces where clients feel valued is my priority. My therapeutic toolkit encompasses various modalities like Attachment Theory, Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS/parts work), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), tailored to each client’s needs and goals. I have experience working with clients seeking guidance in building self-esteem and self-confidence, workplace stress, relationship problems, racial identity and issues, life transitions and family-related struggles. I also provide tools to overcome anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, family and relational trauma.
