About Trista Kam Yin

Meet Trista – Your Compassionate Counsellor and Guide to Healing

Are you looking for a safe, supportive space to heal, grow, and rediscover yourself? I am here to walk alongside you. With over 20 years of experience as a social worker and counsellor, I have helped people from all walks of life navigate challenges such as trauma, grief, mental health struggles, relationship issues, and addiction.

My counselling style is warm, person-centred, and trauma-informed, ensuring you feel supported and never retraumatized in the process. I combine mindfulness practices with evidence-based therapies, including Attachment-based interventions, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, the Satir Model, and Somatic Experiencing. This integrative approach allows me to create a holistic healing journey tailored to your needs.

My global perspective also shapes how I work. Having travelled to 75 countries and volunteered in 10, I have gained a deep appreciation for different cultures, religions, and life experiences. I also devoted nearly two years to practicing mindfulness and meditation in eight countries, which continues to inspire my counselling approach: mindful, compassionate, and holistic.

Professionally, I have supported individuals and families in private counselling centres, refugee programs, family service centres, psychiatric clinics, and youth institutions. I have also provided direct care to people living with physical and mental health challenges in India and Malawi. These experiences strengthen my ability to connect with clients in a culturally sensitive and meaningful way.

I specialize in helping individuals:

• Heal from trauma and grief

• Improve mental health and emotional well-being

• Navigate family, marriage, and parenting challenges

• Strengthen relationships through self-awareness and growth

I offer counselling in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, making my services accessible to a wide community.
