About Sze

Sze Kan Aemiliana Cheung works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She uses creativity and spontaneity as central ideas and draws on psychodynamic and existentialist thinking. Sze Kan is registered with NCPS and has four years of professional experience.

She moved to the United Kingdom from Hong Kong in 2021 and offers sessions in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. In her practice she treats issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and somatisation. She also supports people dealing with life purpose and women’s issues.

Sze Kan blends psychodrama principles with psychodynamic and existential perspectives. That means she pays attention to past relationships and patterns, and to how people make meaning now. Creative methods can be used to try out different ways of expressing thoughts and feelings during sessions.

She believes clients know their own stories and brings a collaborative stance to sessions. The work focuses on noticing patterns, practising new ways of relating and building on existing strengths. Sessions may include verbal reflection and creative exercises to help clients process difficult experiences.

Outside the counselling room she is co-director of True Heart Theatre, a charity that runs Playback Theatre, storytelling and performing arts in community and school settings. Her background in theatre informs the creative side of her clinical work.

Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling

She integrates psychodrama-informed work with psychodynamic and existentialist thinking. Psychodrama-inspired techniques use role, enactment and creative expression to help people try out different ways of responding and to bring feelings into view; this can be useful for relationship issues, grief and communication problems.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns from past relationships and how they shape current behaviour and feelings, helping people notice repeating themes. Existentialist thinking focuses on meaning, choice and responsibility, which can help when coping with life changes or questions about life purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. The counsellor will work collaboratively to agree which methods suit the individual's goals, needs and preferences and may mix verbal reflection with creative exercises where helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, remote counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when needed. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt techniques to work well at a distance and to fit everyday routines.
