Working with Serenia has been a genuinely positive and grounding experience. She creates a calm, supportive space where I always felt listened to and understood, while also being gently challenged to reflect and grow. Her approach is thoughtful, compassionate, and practical, which made it easier to apply what we discussed in real life. I’m truly grateful for the guidance and perspective I gained during our sessions, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who is warm, professional, and deeply supportive.
Not sure how one reviews a therapist, but Dr. Yip was incredibly helpful. She was professional, compassionate, and I felt mentally better after completing my course with her. For anyone unsure about seeking help, I can guarantee it’s worth it—things do get better, and Dr. Yip is a true credit to her profession.
Working with Serenia was a transformative experience. I only saw her for a few months but she gave me tools that have helped me develop a sustained connection to my body and emotions. She created a space that quickly enabled me to be vulnerable and honest, within which she gently and carefully disrupted stagnant ways of thinking. Perhaps most importantly, she strengthened my confidence in my ability to reach my therapeutic goals. Throughout our sessions, the depth of her experience was clearly evident and I really valued the thoughtfulness and openness of her observations and suggestions. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Fabulous, compassionate and d empathetic counselling. Serenia has supported me to move forward by explaining and developing coping mechanisms for my mid life. Thank you 😊
I started seeing Serenia earlier this year to help with my anxiety. Since then, I’ve experienced a whirlwind of personal events, including grief, a wedding, and a job loss. Throughout it all, Serenia has been a constant source of comfort and support. Her sessions are well structured and filled with practical techniques for managing anxiety. I leave my sessions now feeling grounded and equipped with effective coping strategies that I plan to continue using throughout my life.
Serenia was a consummate professional, combining skill and knowledge with a calm and kindly persona. Her assistance was greatly appreciated.
I first came to Serenia as I wanted some guidance and support with certain life issues I was experiencing. We made good progress however a few months later, I sadly lost my mum and needed to pivot my sessions to focus more on grieving/bereavement. Serenia was extremely supportive and helpful during my time of grief and offered a lot of warmth and comfort. I don’t think I would have been able to get through such a difficult time without Serenia and I’m very grateful for all her help.
It’s been years since I first spoke to Serenia, and I’m grateful every day that I made the decision to start therapy—and that I was lucky enough to have Serenia by my side during some of the hardest times. Her warm, empathetic approach made it easy to open up, even when things were hard to talk about. Over time, she helped me uncover patterns in how I relate to myself and others, which has deeply improved my relationships with my family and my partner. If you’re feeling stuck, confused, or just unsure where to begin, Serenia is someone I would wholeheartedly recommend!
Serenia is very professional and knowledgeable. We discussed very personal topics and she always listened without judgement. Very easy to open up to. She was available every week which made creating a rapport easy. I enjoyed our work together and feel like she gave me the tools I needed to be able to continue the work on my own.
I had such a positive experience with Serenia. She helped me return back to my old self, by creating such a warm and welcoming environment for me to be fully open. She also helped create some really practical and easy tools to use every day. Serenia really listened to everything I had to say and I would recommended her to absolutely everyone!
