Thomas Lai
Embodied Mindfulness Practitioner and Therapy Intern
About Thomas
Pronouns: He / Him
My name is Thomas, and I am a therapy student intern and mindfulness practitioner with The Growth and Wellness Therapy Centre. I believe that a therapeutic relationship grounded in presence, safety, and empathy creates the foundation for healing and transformation. I am currently completing a three-year postgraduate diploma in Expressive Arts Therapy at The CREATE Institute.
In our sessions, I co-create an open and exploratory space where clients can engage their rich inner experience through multiple forms of expression, such as dialogue, drawing, writing and movement. I also integrate therapeutic modalities such as parts work, embodied mindfulness, the Realization Process, and AEDP to support emotional completion, mind–body integration, and self-discovery.
I recognize that each person brings unique perspectives and values shaped by the intersections of their cultural background and lived experience. I am committed to honouring this diversity while supporting clients in navigating life’s complexities with hope and resilience.
