About · Lisa Xia

Who I am

I am a Satir Model counselor and trainer based in Wuhan, China. My work spans individual counseling and growth support, professional training, and conference interpretation for Satir Model programs — bringing together my background in psychology, embodied practice, and cross-cultural work.

For many years I have worked across counseling, training, translation, and organizational and talent development. This breadth reflects a single intention: to help people — and the groups they belong to — reconnect with themselves, with others, and with life.

Professional background

Certified Psychological Counselor — National Level II, China (国家二级心理咨询师)
Satir Model trainer and counselor
Conference interpreter (simultaneous) for Satir Model professional programs
Satir Model organizational consultant and executive coach (including for overseas assignees)

Professional training

My training background includes systematic study and practice in the Satir Model. I have served as conference interpreter alongside international Satir faculty — including Dr. Madeleine De Little's program on sandplay, the Satir Model, and neuroscience for working with adolescents.

Working philosophy

The Satir Model begins with a simple belief: every person has intrinsic worth, and change toward greater wholeness is always possible. My work integrates psychology, body and embodied practice, neuroscience, and perspectives from traditional Chinese medicine — not as a patchwork of techniques, but around one central question:

How does a person reconnect with themselves, with others, and with the force of life?

In counseling, training, and interpretation alike, I aim for the same qualities: warmth without excess, clarity without oversimplification, and respect for each person's own experience.

Interpretation & international work

As a professional interpreter for Satir Model programs, I support cross-cultural learning between international faculty and Chinese-speaking participants. This work keeps me close to the evolving edge of the field and deepens my own practice.
