About Inner Journey Psychology

 

Inner Journey Psychology is currently operated by Kefu as a solo practitioner. This means that clients are seen directly by Kefu throughout the therapy process, from the initial appointment through to ongoing therapeutic work.

Kefu has a particular interest in working with people from Asian, multicultural, LGBTQIA+, and neurodiverse communities. His clinical work is shaped by an interest in how people understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that may have developed through earlier life experiences, family dynamics, cultural context, stress, or trauma.

Kefu has received supervised training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy. He integrates evidence-based psychological approaches while tailoring therapy to each person’s needs, goals, and circumstances.

His therapeutic style is collaborative, non-judgmental, and empathic, with a focus on developing a shared understanding of the difficulties that bring someone to therapy and working together at a pace that feels appropriate and sustainable.
