ABOUT ME
Florence Ling has been in her private practice as Clinical Counsellor in B.C. Canada since 2012 with a Master of Arts Degree in Professional Counseling. She is an International Certified Crisis Chaplain & has been a Charter Member since 2008.
Having an empathic and integrated counseling style, Florence creates safe space with clients, which provides respectful, encouraging, and supportive environment. She is also guided by the notion that each client has unique and distinct individual needs. While primarily Client-Centered, she utilizes Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused while helping clients discover their inherent strengths and encourage the development of healthy life.
Through therapeutic conversations, Florence encourages clients with new understandings of self, connectedness to others, and insight into personal histories, family dynamics and cultural influences that may be helping or hindering their ability to live fully and to find joy in everyday life.
Armed with this new insight, clients are then more able to engage in the active process of improving relationships, coping with life’s emotional experiences, and solving challenging problems.
It has been the mission of Florence to work with clients who are struggling with emotional sadness and disturbance, depression, stress, anxiety, anger management, self-esteem, perfectionism, parenting, separation, divorce, family issues, relationship issues, loss & grief, trauma, life transitions and personality disorders, in individual and group settings, with both empathic and non-judgmental atmosphere.
Florence has a strong multi-cultural professional and bilingual background in working with multi-cultural individuals. As a physically & mentally active person, Florence believes that an individual’s body, mind, and spirit are integrated and must be given equal opportunity for healing through self-care, support, education and God's love.
Florence speaks your language – Mandarin, Cantonese and English.
