About Iwen

Iwen Chen is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She brings six years of professional experience helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family difficulties, and work through depression and life changes. Her practice also addresses a wide range of related concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, body image, immigration challenges, and relationship separation.

Trained in the UK as a person-centered psychotherapist, Iwen combines a warm, nonjudgmental stance with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work when appropriate. Having lived and worked across the United Kingdom, Germany, China, and Taiwan, she is accustomed to supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds and life stages, and she draws on that experience to understand how context shapes emotional challenges.

Iwen prioritizes creating a supportive environment where people can explore their feelings, identify what matters to them, and build practical skills to move forward. She focuses on collaboration - listening carefully to each person’s goals and tailoring her approach to fit their needs. Iwen offers therapy in both English and Mandarin and works with clients across a range of adult life issues and transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead, helping people explore their thoughts and emotions and build self-understanding; it is often helpful for relationship issues, family conflicts, and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and improve mood, which can be effective for anxiety, stress, and depression. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and actionable steps, helping people make progress by highlighting strengths and small changes that produce meaningful results.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Iwen works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She listens to your concerns, considers your goals and preferences, and adapts her use of person-centered, CBT, or solution-focused strategies to meet your needs.



Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with registered professionals. Video calls and phone sessions allow richer interaction when that is preferred, while live chat and text-based messaging can suit people who need shorter, more frequent check-ins or who find written communication easier. These options make it simpler to schedule support around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
