Lydia is a Registered Social Worker with over 6 years of experience working with toddlers, children, youth, parents, and families in community mental health and school settings. Lydia’s caring, gentle and respectful nature fosters a sense of acceptance and safety in her clients.

Being a therapist who is passionate about providing child-centered play therapy, Lydia is gifted with the ability to connect with children and parents through play.  Lydia also integrates creative arts, Emotion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy into her sessions.

Lydia connects naturally with children and families, and she is a constant source of stability and empathy for them.  She offers unconditional acceptance to families, helping them to see their own strengths and build on them, while providing support and gently shifting unhelpful patterns through her creative and dynamic approach to families. As a person who is hard of hearing, Tin Wing is happy to support others who are deaf and hard of hearing.

譚天詠姑娘（MSW, RSW）是一名註冊社工，擁有超過六年在家庭服務中心和學校為幼兒、兒童、青少年、家長和家庭提供服務的經驗。譚姑娘能以廣東話、國語及英語提供輔導服務。作為一個對兒童為本遊戲治療（Child-centered Play Therapy）充滿熱誠的治療師，譚姑娘期待以遊戲與孩子和家長建立連繫；並會在輔導中加入藝術元素，讓孩子們透過藝術表達自己。過往輔導時，她曾把情緒導向治療（Emotion Focused Therapy）、認知行為治療（Cognitive Behavioral Therapy）、家庭治療（Family Therapy）、創傷聚焦治療（Trauma-focused Therapy）等元素加入輔導過程中。

譚姑娘具有支援個人及家庭的經驗，基於「兒童為本、家庭為重、關係為要」的方向，譚姑娘樂意與正面對情緒需要、社交困難、行為挑戰、學校適應、人際關係問題、家庭衝突、生活轉變以及處於哀傷中的人同行。她希望能以溫柔和體貼的心懷，與有需要的孩子和家庭一起，走過生命中不容易的時刻。

譚姑娘願與孩子和家庭自然地連繫起來，並為他們帶來安穩和被明白的感覺。她無條件地接納任何情緒，因為她相信情緒沒有對錯之分，重要是能建立擁抱自己情緒的能力。譚姑娘以她的溫暖和洞察力，致力為孩子和家庭創造一個安全舒適的輔導空間，讓兒童健康地成長和促進家庭和諧。
