You’re welcome to begin with a free 15-minute initial consultation. This gives us the opportunity to discuss your needs, explore how we might work together, and decide on the best way forward.
If you prefer, you can book your first full session straight away — either online or in person. I’ll then get in touch to confirm our first appointment, which will include your free 15-minute consultation.
Each counselling session lasts 50 minutes and usually takes place once a week. Keeping a regular schedule helps to build consistency, trust, and a supportive therapeutic relationship.
If you miss your first booked session without notice, your counselling arrangement will be considered terminated.
As we continue working together, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy is a collaborative process — I will support you in gaining deeper self-understanding, developing new perspectives, and finding ways to manage challenges more effectively. Over time, this ongoing work can help you build greater self-awareness, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.
It’s natural to feel a little lost. You don’t have to find your way alone.
At our core, I believe in blending the Eastern value of connection with others and the Western focus on individuality—an approach especially meaningful when living abroad or navigating cultural differences.
I understand that truly knowing ourselves or others isn’t always easy. But by reflecting on our personal histories—our family background, the way we were raised, and the life experiences that have shaped us—we can begin to make sense of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Counselling offers a safe space to explore these dimensions.
By viewing ourselves and others with greater depth and compassion, I open the door to self-acceptance, stronger relationships, and personal growth.
Hello, I’m Daim, a counsellor offering therapy in both English and Korean. I believe that seeking support is a courageous step, and my role is to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges.I work integratively, drawing on different therapeutic approaches to suit your unique needs—whether you’re seeking short-term support to manage a specific issue or wish to explore deeper patterns over time.As a qualified and registered counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to the highest ethical standards and am committed to creating a safe, empathetic, and confidential space where you can explore your experiences without fear of judgment.
Areas of Experience
I have experience supporting clients with a wide range of issues, including:
• Anxiety and low self-esteem
• A Relationship and family challenges
• A Grief and bereavement
• A Childhood trauma
• A Depression and emotional distress
My clinical work within the NHS has provided me with extensive experience in crisis intervention, long-term emotional support, and working through complex interpersonal and family dynamics.I also work with clients from diverse cultural and social backgrounds, including those navigating identity, racism, and cross-cultural relationships. Many people come to me for help with work-related stress, life transitions, and questions around identity and sexuality.
A Creative and Integrative Approach
Alongside my counselling practice, I am currently training in MA Art Psychotherapy. This allows me to bring an additional dimension of creativity and self-expression into the therapy room.Art and creative methods can offer powerful ways to explore emotions and experiences that may be difficult to express in words. Whether we work through talking therapy alone or integrate creative exploration, sessions are always tailored to what feels right and meaningful for you.
My Background and Values
Before training as a counsellor, I spent over 15 years in User Experience Design, Research, and mentoring. This background informs my therapeutic practice, helping me design user-centred and inclusive spaces where people can feel truly seen and supported.My approach is grounded in genuine curiosity, active listening, and cultural awareness. I aim to co-create a space where you feel safe to explore, reflect, and grow—developing a stronger sense of connection with yourself and others along the way.
I believe therapy is about gaining a better understanding of oneself so that one can identify underlying issues, find ways to cope, and work towards healing. My practice is grounded in psychodynamic theory, whilst I embrace an integrative approach incorporating mindfulness and humanistic techniques to tailor therapy to each individual's needs.
I use an integrative approach, understanding that everyone has their own unique areas for growth, which we can explore and address in a holistic, personalised way.
I offer both online and in-person sessions. Regardless of the format, our work together is guided by the BACP Ethical Framework. Daim Counsellor provides supportive counselling in English and Korean, helping you navigate challenges, build resilience, and find balance in life. For more details, please book an initial session.
