"Inner Haven" is a beautiful and profound metaphor, symbolizing a place of inner peace and tranquility within oneself. This metaphor can represent various things because everyone has different ways of seeking and maintaining their inner harbour. Collaborating with a therapist you feel comfortable with is akin to having a guiding light that brightens your inner sanctuary during the most challenging moments. Inner Haven Counselling provides you a sense of safety, containment, and will bring your inner peace back from your stormy seas of uncertainty and turmoil, guiding you toward a tranquil and anchored sense of self.
About
I am Viviana Ni, and my preferred pronouns are she/her. As a licensed clinical counsellor and registered art therapist, I provide bilingual clinical counselling and art therapy services in both English and Mandarin.
​
With over 10 years of dedicated, full-time experience, I have provided support to a wide range of clients, including children, youth, and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds. My clients include individuals dealing with psychological distress, emotional and/or substance use challenges, as well as families coping with grief and loss. I’ve also worked with refugees who have experienced trauma in their home countries, children and youth with a history of psychological trauma, women who have faced childhood trauma, children with neurodivergent conditions, and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals dealing with identity crises and low self-esteem, among other concerns. I have applied my expertise in various settings, including hospitals, non-profit organizations, government agencies, international corporations, shelters, mental health institutes, and mindfulness-based companies.
​
My counselling style is characterized by empathy, compassion, creativity, and a non-judgmental attitude, creating a safe and supportive space for you and/or your family to share your stories through both verbal and non-verbal communication.
