Counselling and Mindfulness

When we are taught to develop as a person, becoming an adult, be responsible, be successful, be knowing and be positive. There are so many subjective wishes (expectations) from the parents, from partner(s) and from the society, so much pressure to be a better-ed person. But, what is a better person and who defines this better-ness. These demands and expectations often deny what we feel internally and how we experience our lives. When the inner conflicts (of who you have to be and who you are) continue, the stress and anxiety are planted deeply and gnawing in us, without us knowing.

Dr. Vivian Psychotherapy is an Aberdeen (Scotland) based clinic where the art of living is cultivated, to be acquired, to be explored and to inspire the purpose of life customary tailored, dedicatedly meaningful for just you.

Psychotherapy and Counselling

I am a licensed, registered Counsellor, trained at the University of Aberdeen, registered member to the Professional Body: Psychotherapist with British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). The discipline of Person-centred Counselling and Psychotherapy values the individuals’ viewpoints and perspectives (Dr. C. Rogers). As a counsellor and Psychotherapist, the warm empathy is always in place, along with the non-judgement, to create a safe space with you, allow me to understand you, and furtherly to assist you to explore the possibilities of improving the current circumstances (de-knotting), either its the past childhood trauma/abuse, current battles with addiction, relationship issues with romantic partners/original families or the anxiety about the future.

I am here with you, each step of the progress and recovery journey. One step at a time, gently and dedicatedly.

Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction and Cognitive Therapy

I am also a certified in Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy. Eight-Week of Mindfulness programme is designed to tackle the blocks between the healthy mental state and the psychological symptoms (dedicated for anxiety and depression). In the eight-week programme, the teaching of Buddhism attitudes as well as Eastern philosophies would be explained in the most simplistic ways, to allow individuals (of all backgrounds and from different religious following) to have the easy access to the healthy Mindfulness attitudes in life, to practise Mindfulness every moment of the daily life - as a Mindful way of living.

For the Mindfulness classes, you can either choose to enrol in an 8-week programme, or you can consider a class-to-class basis. This programme could be one-to-one or be in a group-setting.

Who is Dr. Vivian …

My name is Vivian Tu, 42-year-old Psychotherapy Counsellor

My professional academia is the awarded Doctoral scholarship in Psycholinguistics by University of Aberdeen (2014), and have been trained in the discipline of Person-centred Psychotherapy. I have resided in Bath, Nottingham and Newcastle over the past decades and since 2005 I have been based and established in Aberdeen, Scotland (UK).

Born in Formosa, Taiwan, and have been residing in Britain for the past 20 years.

I am a licensed humanistic Person-centred Psychotherapy Counsellor, registered member to BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who has faith in "everything is possible" and in "everyone has the meanings on earth". These are the beliefs that I carry all my life since young age. Astrology alignments and the Universe-Body-Soul intuitions have been my genetic nature. After traveling across England and resettling in Scotland, through years of searching in life, my researches during the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Psychology and Linguistics disciplines have eventually established and been forming my passion for life: Psychotherapy and Counselling.

In the past decade, I have been working with charity organisations for the students with learning difficulties, young pupils on Autism Spectrum, children and young people’s mental wellbeing, as well as the counselling services for adult patients within NHS practices, generic Counselling service and for the cross-cultural individuals Grampian Regional Equality Council.

In addition to my therapy practice, I am also a certified Mindfulness Meditation trainer/teacher at Oxford College of Mindfulness and Buddhism. Mindfulness is my art of living; Buddhism & Person-centred therapy are my philosophies. In my working experiences, the Mindfulness and Counselling have been working intertwined, beautifully for my clients’ therapeutic journey and my own self.
