YEN LIM holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Master of Science from the University of Sydney. She is a compassionate therapist who believes the courageous decision to engage in therapy should be met with warmth and respect.
Yen focuses on deepening insight and drawing on personal strengths to help her patients embrace themselves and their lives, wholeheartedly. She is passionate about supporting her adult and adolescent patients with depression, anxiety, relationship or sexual issues, identity concerns, trauma, and impulse control or emotion regulation difficulties, such as bipolar disorder. She also has a particular interest in perinatal psychology, parenting and complex-trauma (relational trauma).
Yen works closely with patients to develop an understanding of how protective strategies form in response to personal life experiences. Treatment is then tailored to a patients’ goals, which often involves an integration of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, Schema Therapy, mindfulness and skills-based approaches (e.g., Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)). She also readily utilises trauma-focused interventions such as sensorimotor psychotherapy strategies and Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR).
Yen is a member of the Australian Clinical Psychology Association (ACPA) and has over 10-years of experience in the private and public sector. She can offer both brief and longer-term therapy, depending on your needs. But no matter what your needs, she hopes you will leave therapy with deeper sense of self-acceptance and confidence in your capacities in navigate life’s challenges.
