“Support for teenagers and young adults through life transitions”

Verified by Kyan

About Camilla

I'm Camilla Ximing Cen, but please feel free to call me Camilla. I'm a counsellor in Auckland, and I specialise in helping teenagers and young adults with challenges like life transitions, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, difficulty fitting in and feelings of isolation. I also work with couples. I speak English, and I can also speak Cantonese and Mandarin.

I grew up in China and immigrated to New Zealand as a teenager. I have worked across various social and health settings. My counselling qualification is a Bachelor's degree, I am a provisional member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors, and I am an accredited Triple P provider.

My own background helps me offer a deep understanding of and empathy for your experiences. In our sessions I want you to feel safe and free of judgement, so you can openly explore your interests and experiences. Together we look at how your passions and experiences can become part of your daily life. I see clients online across New Zealand.

How Camilla works

Our sessions are a calm, non-judgmental place where you can talk openly about your interests and experiences. I combine evidence-based techniques with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). We work together to bring your passions and experiences into your daily life. The aim is to help you build your self-confidence and deepen your social connections, which supports your overall well-being. I work online, in English, and I can also hold sessions in Cantonese or Mandarin.

Approaches

General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Camilla works.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)

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.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

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.
