Ta-You Chiu

I am a BACP-registered Integrative Psychotherapist and began exploring this profession in 2017. I have previously worked for the NHS and Third Sector organisations, supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and sexual health issues. Currently, I am furthering my expertise through an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy (UKCP) and am registered as a trainee psychosexual and relationship therapist with COSRT. Before transitioning into psychotherapy, my professional background spanned design, art, and business sectors, which has given me a broad understanding of how different functions operate within society. This diverse experience informs my therapeutic approach, allowing me to connect with individuals from various backgrounds and perspectives.

Hello, I’m Tayou. Life is full of ups and downs. You may feel stuck in repetitive patterns or sense that something isn’t quite right but can’t articulate it. Seeking support is a significant step, whether you’re struggling, just managing, or aspiring for more. With gentle compassion, I offer a safe, nurturing space to explore life patterns and cultural complexities. I listen attentively and support you on your journey toward healing and self-acceptance.

I was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan. In the early 2000s, I moved to London, where I experienced life as an ethnic minority. This transition deepened my understanding of cultural identity, belonging, and the complexities of navigating different social and cultural expectations.

Living between Taiwanese and UK cultures has given me insight into the challenges associated with cultural difference and adaptation. I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals who feel marginalised by heteronormative and cisnormative societal norms.
