“Depth-oriented therapy with cross-cultural sensitivity”
I am an integrative psychotherapist offering online therapy in English and Mandarin for adults in Cambridge and across the UK. I offer depth-oriented therapy for adults who may continue to study and work while privately facing repeated relationship patterns or questions of identity and belonging. For some, it is a deeper loss of direction and meaning. I work with particular sensitivity to cross-cultural experience.
I hold an MSc in Psychology of Mental Health from the University of Edinburgh and an LLM in Law from the Université de Montréal. My MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Derby completes in 2026, and in 2026 I began doctoral research in Education at the University of Cambridge. I have additional training in ACT, DBT, CFT and domestic abuse risk. My clinical experience includes eating difficulties and substance use and recovery. I have also worked with domestic abuse and coercive control. I am developing my own framework, Empty-as-Vessel, which informs my stance as a practitioner.
Sessions take place by online video. You can use one language throughout or move naturally between English and Mandarin, without having to translate every part of your experience before it can be understood. We usually meet weekly and review the work together every six sessions.
Person-centred and attachment-informed practice provides the relational foundation of our work. From there I draw flexibly on CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy and embodied approaches when useful, without reducing you to a diagnosis or a set of techniques. Therapy can offer a steady relationship in which we understand not only what hurts, but how these patterns and ways of surviving took shape. We also look at what becomes possible when they no longer have to organise your life. The work is for people who want to understand what is happening beneath the surface, not only reduce a symptom as quickly as possible.
General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how (Baixuan works.
Integrative therapy combines ideas and methods from different therapeutic approaches, chosen to suit you and what you bring. Rather than following one model, the therapist adapts the work as it goes along. This flexibility can help when needs change over time.
Person-centred therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, starts from the idea that you are the expert on your own life. The therapist offers warmth, empathy and genuine attention without steering the conversation, so you can explore what matters to you at your own pace. Many people find it helps them feel heard and grow in confidence and self-understanding.
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds with caregivers shape the way we connect with others today. Understanding these patterns can make sense of a fear of closeness or of being left, and of difficulties that keep coming back in relationships. The work aims at feeling more secure with yourself and with the people who matter to you.
Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions keep each other going. Together you notice the patterns that hold a problem in place and try out new ways of thinking and acting, often with small practical tasks between sessions. It is widely used for anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep problems.
Acceptance and commitment therapy helps you make room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them. The focus is on what matters to you, and on taking steps in that direction even when things feel hard. It is used for stress, anxiety, low mood and long-term pain, among other things.

We begin with an initial assessment session and then usually meet weekly. We review the work together every six sessions.
Initial chatNo charge
A short conversation of up to 20 minutes before we begin. It is not therapy or a clinical assessment.
Therapy is normally weekly. A consistent time helps create continuity and allows deeper work to develop. We will review the work together every six sessions and decide whether to continue, pause or bring it to an ending.
Sessions are available in English and Mandarin Chinese. We can use the language that helps you think and feel most naturally, and move between the two where useful.
No. I do not assume that all Chinese, Mandarin-speaking or bilingual clients share the same culture, values, migration story or relationship with language.
Possibly, but not automatically. Before accepting international work I need to consider where you are, emergency planning and whether online therapy is suitable for you.
No. The initial chat lasts up to 20 minutes and is not therapy or a clinical assessment. Our first therapy session is an initial assessment.
