The In-Between Mind is a podcast explores what it means to live between cultures, between identities, and sometimes between ways of feeling.

In each episode, we explore mental health, identity, and wellbeing through the lens of culture and language. Eachepisode reflects on how emotions and memories are shaped not only by psychology, but also by the languages we speak and the cultures we move between.

The Host

Hi! I'm Chiu! I’m an art psychotherapist and Cantonese and Mandarin teacher, and a children book writer. In this podcast, I’ll share reflections, stories, and insights from both the therapy room and classroom, exploring what it means to live — and feel — between cultures.

This is where I unpack mental health, identity, and wellbeing through the lens of culture and language.

Little Fact About Me

I was born in Hong Kong, grew up between Hong Kong, mainland China, and now live in the UK. So living between cultures and languages has always been part of my life. Through my work as a therapist and a Canto -Mando teacher, and through my own lived experience, I’m fascinated by how language shapes the way we feel, how we express care, and how we understand ourselves.

    In this episode, I sit with the question of what really makes therapy “work,” and whether feeling understood is about identity… or something deeper. I also explore what it means for diasporic Cantonese therapists to re-learn Cantonese—not just as a language, but as a way of reconnecting with culture, emotion, and parts of themselves that were never fully spoken.
