Sze Kan Aemiliana Cheung
Creative psychodrama-informed counsellor
About Sze
Sze Kan Aemiliana Cheung helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem or major life changes. She introduces practical ways to cope and builds on a person’s strengths. She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
She uses creativity and psychodrama ideas to open up new perspectives. Sessions often include storytelling, role work and imaginative exercises to make feelings easier to talk about and understand.
Background and approach
This approach can help with attachment concerns, abandonment issues, loneliness and body image worries. Her background includes four years of professional practice and leadership in community arts. She co-directs True Heart Theatre, a charity that brings playback theatre and storytelling into schools and local groups.
That experience informs her counselling style and makes sessions collaborative and lived-in rather than purely talk-based. In the room she treats each person as the expert in their own life. She offers support that aims to boost self-worth, reduce shame or guilt, and help people find clearer life purpose.
She also works with people affected by post-traumatic stress and somatic symptoms by linking bodily experience and emotion. Sessions are offered in several formats so people can choose what fits their life. She uses a straightforward, compassionate approach and helps clients take small practical steps towards change.
If someone wants a creative way to work through difficult feelings, she makes space for that.

Creative approaches for online therapy
She commonly draws on psychodrama-informed and existential approaches. Psychodrama-inspired work uses role play and enacted scenes to make difficult feelings more concrete and easier to work through, which can help with relationship problems, attachment worries and unresolved grief. Existential ideas focus on meaning, choice and values to support people facing major life changes or questions about life purpose.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through options and try methods that match the person's goals and comfort level. Together they decide what feels most helpful and adjust the way they work as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, so people can pick what suits their routine. Video is useful for richer interaction and role work, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text can offer quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection that fits around work or caring duties. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
