Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on what feels most useful in daily life. Khu creates a calm space where clients can say what they’re thinking without feeling judged. She listens for patterns - like control struggles, attachment worries, or workplace pressure - and helps clients try new ways of responding.
Work often includes short-term strategies and planning for longer-term change. Her practice pays attention to multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and caregiver stress. She also addresses issues such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, and money-related worry.
The aim is to reduce immediate distress while building skills to manage future challenges. Sessions may include steps to increase confidence, set boundaries, or improve communication. Khu partners with each person to define goals and track progress.
She encourages small, achievable actions that make daily life feel more manageable.
