Canis Lin

Canis believes that life is full of interesting gifts wrapped by different kinds of wrapping papers. Some wrapping papers look fantastic, some appear strange, and some even seem unfavorable to pick up. Through the counselling process, Canis humbly plays the role of a trusted companion embracing non-judgmental mind and compassionate heart to accompany her clients to unwrap their disguised gifts. Canis is experienced in facilitating clients who suffer from stress, mood disturbance, grief, uncertainty in career/ study/ life situations to unfold their hidden issues, process the emotions, understand their internal needs, and transform to their desired true self.

Canis adopts a holistic approach in supporting her clients as she believes that everyone has a unique life story. Canis keenly incorporates Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-based Intervention, Positive Psychology Intervention, and Dream Therapy in the therapeutic process where appropriate. With her own rewarding experiences from self-understanding and healing through dreamwork for over a decade, Canis has been a dream educator for interested parties, including the not-for-profit organizations. Canis is currently pursuing her doctoral study in Transpersonal Psychology, focusing on dream studies. She has started her dissertation journey to explore “The Healing Effects and Working Mechanisms of Rescripting Nightmares for Chinese Adults”.

Canis looks forward to working with her clients in unwrapping their disguised gifts. Gratefully, the transformative counselling journey may lead to a valuable insight that “Life is a gift in itself”.
