Kelyn Elina Li - Compassion Coach
Shirley Wang Holistic Psychotherapy Centre
The Therapy mind, Psychologist & Hypnotherapist
At my practice, I offer lots of different types of counselling services – from individual sessions to group therapy. It all depends on what each client needs and what they’ll benefit from. Because a lot of my clients lead busy lives, I also offer online and telephone counselling if that suits their schedule better. Although I always suggest coming in for a face-to-face session now and then, as these are often very helpful.
To be a certified counsellor, you need to have a Level 4 qualification in counselling. This can be as a diploma, or at a degree or postgraduate level. I chose to go down the university route by undertaking a BSc Hons in Psychology & Counselling. This meant that I got a degree and was accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am now a registered counsellor with over 10 years of experience and have completed a number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules.
Most of my clients have certain goals in mind when it comes to their therapy. Often they want to resolve issues which are causing difficulties in their lives. This may be problems in their personal relationships that they want help working through. It could be with their partner, family, friends, or work colleagues. Or they may want to develop coping mechanisms to help deal with their own mental health. But often these can interlink. For example, if a client is wanting help with their personal relationships, this often has a positive knock-on effect on their own mental health.

Over the past year, I have been working with Yi Shan for trauma therapy, and I have never felt more at ease. She consistently provides reassurance when my mind is overwhelmed with self-doubt and negative thoughts. Having someone who validates my experiences has been incredibly empowering and has played a pivotal role in my healing journey. Yi Shan uses an innovative approach to therapy, often suggesting creative ways to make the process enjoyable. One memorable session was when we took a walk in nature; it was refreshing to have a session outside the therapy room. She ensures that I fully understand the concepts behind the approaches she uses, so I feel comfortable and confident during our sessions. I also appreciate that I have the freedom to accept or decline any approach if I feel it would be too much for me. Each time I enter a session, Yi Shan creates a safe space where I can simply be myself—free from judgment and filled with kindness and compassion. She regularly encourages me to express my healing journey in my own words, which has been instrumental in helping me grow into a better version of myself. I am truly grateful to have found Yi Shan when I did, and I have no doubt that she can be a guiding light for anyone seeking to heal.

Yi Shan is a very sincere and meticulous Therapist. Her methods of using a scale to assess the level of trauma before and after each session is useful to help the client translate intangible emotions into a tangible scale so that we can monitor our progress. The MEMI sessions were fabulous and especially helpful. After each session, I would feel a headache and be very tired. But as I get enough rest, i will heal and emerge stronger. Within 3 sessions, I was able to heal my childhood and early adulthood trauma and return the level of trauma to a safety zone. Gradually, my reliance on psychiatric medication also reduced. I would recommend Yi Shan to anyone who has a genuine and open attitude towards getting their trauma healed.
