“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything.
Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you,
so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.”
― Paul Coelho
About Me
My name is Beibei Mu. I am an English and Mandarin Chinese-speaking psychotherapeutic counsellor trained in the UK, registered with BACP and accredited by UKCP.
I offer one-to-one online therapy sessions via Zoom to English and Mandarin speakers in the UK and internationally, including across Europe, Singapore, Hong Kong and mainland China. Please feel free to get in touch with me.
I grew up in Xi’an, the ancient capital of China, and moved to the UK during my adolescent years. My love of travel has since taken me to many different countries and cultures, where I have travelled, worked and lived. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of what it can mean to live between languages, cultures and different ideas of home, and to relate sensitively to clients coming from diverse backgrounds.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the banking industry, including several years at JPMorgan, and later in the charitable sector across arts, culture, health and wellbeing.
My own life path has involved changes of career, country and ways of life. These experiences have shaped my interest in how we navigate transition and uncertainty, particularly when a life that appears successful or settled on the outside no longer feels quite right within, and how we find our way towards a life that feels more genuinely our own.
Earlier in my therapy career, I volunteered as a helpline counsellor with The Mix for young people in their twenties and worked as a counsellor at Re-Vision's Low Cost Counselling Service in North London. I now work independently in private practice.
Outside my therapy work, I enjoy writing, reading, cinema, yoga and dance, travelling and exploring different cultures. Creativity, movement and the arts continue to inform both my personal life and my curiosity about what helps us feel more fully alive.
If you would like to know more about my journey into becoming a therapist, my career change, and the experiences and ideas that have shaped my work, you can read or watch my interviews here.
