About Me

Tien Nguyen

My practice is professional and confidential. Respect and openness to diversity and differences are important parts of my therapeutic process. I listen attentively to the story of every individual, as everyone is unique and special.

My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is both psychodynamic and insight-oriented, which means I encourage the development of self-awareness to understand the unconscious dynamics of behaviours, thoughts, and feelings in the present that may be rooted in the past. I will journey with you to explore your family history issues, insecure attachment, and unresolved trauma using the attachment lens and psychodynamic approach to help free you from the bondage of these chains so that you may live more fully.

I offer both short and long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (in-person and online). I deliver sessions in both English and Vietnamese.

I completed my BSc in Psychology at St. Mary’s University, Twickenham, and a Master’s degree in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy at Goldsmiths University of London, as well as a Diploma in Trauma Therapy and a Certificate in Psychosexual Therapy. I am also a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

I have been working in a variety of settings: such as prisons, hospitals, safe houses, youth centres, homeless centres, NHS talking therapy, mental health counselling centres, mental health coaches, and facilitating many intercultural workshops.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I abide by BACP professional standards and codes of ethics.
