JASMINE TING
Mental Health Counselor
(MCouns, Australian Counseling Association, Shanghai International Mental Health Association)
Hi, I'm so glad that you're here. Recognizing that you need a bit of extra help is often the biggest hurdle. Your courage to seek the life that you deserve is the spark we'll use to grow your inner light together.
I work with women seeking to reach their authentic selves in their relationships with themselves, their children, their families, and the world. Offered guidance comes from my professional training as an internationally qualified and registered counselor, as well as breadth of personal experiences as a multicultural woman and mother who has navigated many life transitions herself.
In your journey, I offer a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space to explore and examine the things that are making you feel less than whole. Let's work on your healing and growth goals, and discover how change can bring greater light to your life.
Offered Counseling Services and Workshops
Which one is for me?
Individual Therapy
(Adults, Teens)
Our individual therapy sessions provide a nurturing and confidential atmosphere for clients to explore their inner emotions and thoughts. Every sentiment is valued and honored in this space.
Utilizing a client-focused therapeutic approach, I carefully consider your individual needs and incorporate a variety of effective strategies customized for your specific circumstances. Our conversations will address not only methods for coping with emotional and physical stress but also promote deeper self-reflection that fosters newfound insights and opportunities. The aim is to equip you with the confidence and clarity to face life's challenges.
Sessions are generally 55 minutes long and can be conducted in person in Shanghai or online for clients from anywhere in the world.
Family Counseling
(Children and Parents)
Family counseling services focus on the relationship between parent and child, and aim to strengthen secure attachment bonds, self-esteem and self-identity, and positive effective parenting strategies to support harmonious connections between family members.
Therapy for children and adolescents is considered family therapy, as meaningful change in young people will should require simultaneous engagement of caregivers. A suggested series of counseling sessions may consist of a mix of individual play therapy for children, individual therapy with a parent, filial therapy (parent and child), and family therapy (family members).
Clients are welcome to ask me to collaborate with your child's school counselor and educational stakeholders to build a wider support system and include socioemotional interventions in academic environments.
Psychoeducation Workshops
I offer engaging and practical psychoeducational workshops designed to support businesses, communities, and schools in building healthier, more connected environments. These workshops create spaces for learning, reflection, and skill-building around key mental health and communication topics. Examples may include:
- Psychologically safe communication in the workplace, classroom, and personal relationships
- Mental health and wellness strategies for stress management, resilience, and emotional balance
- Healthy relationship skills to strengthen collaboration, connection, and trust
Workshops can be delivered in English or Chinese, in-person in Shanghai or online, and are tailored to the needs of your community.
We're all walking the path of life.
I have much to share with you.
What I bring to you is not only my years of therapeutic training, but also how I relate to your personal experiences as a multicultural woman born and raised in New York City, now having lived abroad in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Australia.
Former investment banker, international relations academic, fashion entrepreneur and managing director, marketing strategist.
In my personal life, a mother, daughter, partner, and friend.
As a mental health counselor, my professional credentials include:
- University of New England (MA), Master of Counselling
- Registered Australian Counselor (ACA)
- Member of Shanghai International Mental Health Association (SIMHA)
- School Counseling at YK Pao Primary School in Shanghai
- Lifeline China operations team, trainer, and crisis call volunteer
- Certified Mental Health First Aid Provider (Hong Kong)
My clinical approaches are attachment-based, trauma-informed, and integrate mind / body awareness. I use a person-centric foundation, and may integrate evidence-based narrative, play / art, systemic, and other therapeutic interventions when situationally and developmentally effective.
Rest assured that in our time together, the tools we use will be uniquely designed for your needs.
