Hi, I’m Dr. Yanbo (Liam) Lian, a coach dedicated to helping highly-educated young adults overcome confusion, find direction, and experience the beauty and joy of life.
Despite earning a Bachelor's degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China) and a Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience from The University of Melbourne (Australia), I once struggled with uncertainties at key life stages — entering university, pursuing a Ph.D., starting a career, and building a family.
Through years of research, coaching, mentoring and working at universities, I realized that while we receive extensive academic training, we lack systematic guidance on navigating life itself.
For over six years, I’ve helped highly-educated young adults clarify their goals, overcome challenges, and make meaningful breakthroughs in academics, careers, and relationships.
As a Ph.D. supervisor, academic mentor, career consultant, and certified coach with credentials in:
I integrate deep insights with practical strategies to support your growth.
I believe that everyone deserves a life with direction—and I’m here to help you find yours.
I’m Janice, a registered psychologist. I provide client-centered, holistic and collaborative approach. I am passionate about empowering adults to find meaning and purpose in their lives and believe that therapy will enable individuals to become experts of themselves. I am committed to support clients through life challenges as they explore how values, beliefs and decisions impact their physical and emotional well-being.
I have experience working with mental health challenges including stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and neurodivergence.
I am trained and have used the following evidence-based treatments: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
