Welcome to SYC Creative Therapy
We are committed to collaborating in pursuit of meaningful, lasting change.
A place where you can feel safe to share, attune, and be contained
Life presents many challenges, and at times these can feel overwhelming to face them alone. Reaching out for support is a meaningful step toward deeper self-understanding and lasting change. As a therapist, I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported throughout your therapeutic journey.
Therapy provides a collaborative and flexible space, carefully tailored to your unique needs and experiences. In our work together, we may explore unconscious processes, early relational patterns, and the deeper emotional roots that shape your present difficulties. By gently examining your thoughts, feelings, and lived experiences, we aim to uncover the underlying factors contributing to distress and support greater clarity, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.
In addition to traditional talking therapy, there is the option to integrate creative approaches, including the use of art materials and expressive activities. These approaches can be especially supportive when thoughts, emotions or experiences feel difficult to express in words. Creative exploration offers new alternative pathways to insight, emotional processing, and healing, allowing for a deeper connection to your inner experience.
The therapeutic environment is designed to support thoughtful self-reflection and authentic personal expression. Within this safe and contained space, you are encouraged to explore your healing journey at your own pace, fostering greater clarity, self-awareness, and confidence.
Speak in confidence
Therapy offers a calm, confidential space where you can share your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. All sessions are held with care, discretion, and in accordance with professional ethical standards.
A problem shared…
Many people experience challenges such as anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns. Therapy offers a supportive space to gain insight, understand underlying processes, and develop meaningful ways to manage and gently transform these difficulties.
Make healthier, more empowered choices
Therapy supports deeper understanding of your responses and long-standing patterns, helping you move beyond what no longer serves you. Through reflective exploration, you can develop healthier ways of living and relating, opening space for greater choice, clarity, and emotional wellbeing.

If life feels heavy, overwhelming, or difficult to navigate, you do not have to face it alone.
Professional background
My name is Shuk Yin Chan, but you can call me Jackie. I hold a Master’s degree in Art Therapy (MAAT) and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
My clinical experience includes working with children and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex emotional distress, alongside supporting individuals in acute mental health crisis within an NHS foundation trust charity.
I work with clients who feel overwhelmed or stuck, supporting the development of emotional regulation, insight, and stability. Therapy is not about advice or quick solutions, but empowering deeper self-understanding and making meaningful, lasting change possible.
I can also be found on the BACP Therapy Directory, Psychology Today, and the Counselling Directory.

I work from private, quiet offices located in Masters House, 1 Marlborough Hill, Harrow, HA1 1UX
