Siyi’s Bio
Siyi’s journey began in medicine. After several years working as a physician, she found herself drawn to a deeper question: what is happening in the inner lives of the people we care for? That question led her to psychology, and to more than two decades of in-depth training and practice in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
At the heart of her work is a deep respect for each person’s inner world and their potential to grow. Siyi believes healing happens within a sincere, genuine relationship, one where people feel truly cared for and free to understand themselves more fully.
Beyond the therapy room, Siyi has brought psychological support to communities affected by earthquakes and has shared mental health knowledge with wider audiences through television and radio. She is also a poet.
