MINDFULNESS CALLIGRAPHY ENHANCED THERAPY (MCET)®
I developed the MCET intervention during my seven years of doctorate training in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy. This culturally sensitive and non-threatening approach is designed to work effectively with Chinese and Asian heritage communities internationally. The innovative and integrative method draws on various theories, including cognitive, mindfulness therapy, and psychoanalytic free association. This process can be very effective in helping clients access previously problematic experiences and transform them into valuable resources. Typically, the sessions, which can be conducted in either Chinese or English, last between 4 to 12 sessions, enhancing the experience through psychology workshops.

This is the standard set to use for the MCET training approach, and you don’t need to have calligraphy practice experience. The session can be conducted in either Chinese or English. If you’re interested in learning more about this approach, including its applications in mindfulness therapy and psychology workshops, please contact me for further details.
