About Jing Li

Jing Li | Psychological Support, Eating Concerns & Expressive Arts

Understanding a person means seeing emotions, the body, relationships and everyday circumstances. Jing Li is registered with the Chinese Psychological Society’s Registration System for Clinical and Counseling Psychology (X-24-248) and holds China’s National Level II Psychological Counselor qualification.

Jing has long been interested in how people understand themselves through emotion, body and relationships. Over time, her practice has developed a particular focus on eating concerns, women’s growth and family support.

Concerns that appear to be about food, weight, emotion or relationships often carry more complex experiences of daily life, self-evaluation and family interaction. Her aim is to build a steady, respectful relationship in which individuals and families can gradually understand what is happening.

Understanding before judgement; relationship before conclusion.

2022.102023.0430 hours continuing education

Psychosomatic medicine-related training

Considering emotion, body and relationships together

Jing completed 30 hours in the Psychosomatic Case Seminar within the Fifth Sino-German Continuing Training Programme in Psychosomatic Medicine. The programme involved Shanghai Mental Health Center and relevant German medical and psychological professionals, and enriched her integrated view of body, emotion, relationships and real-life pressure.

Boundary: this was continuing professional education. It does not confer medical, psychiatric, German psychotherapy or other clinical licensure.

Expressive arts in practice

A way to explore, not a diagnostic tool

In some educational, group and supportive settings, Jing uses drawing, colour, line and other expressive forms to support awareness of emotion, body and inner experience. No drawing background is required.

She does not infer personality from a drawing, assign fixed psychological conclusions to colours, or present ordinary art activities as medical treatment.

How Jing works

Understanding before judgement

Safety & respect

Understanding lived circumstances without rushing to label.

Integrated perspective

Body, emotion, family interaction and environment all matter.

Collaboration

Supporting understanding and choice rather than deciding for someone.

Beyond words

Drawing or other expression may be used when appropriate.

Who may wish to explore further

  • Food, weight or body concerns affect daily life
  • Stress, emotion and eating form a repeating cycle
  • A family member’s eating causes worry
  • Caring for others leaves little room for oneself
  • Roles or relationships feel exhausting
  • Expressive arts feels like a helpful route inward
  • You wish to understand before committing to counselling

Some situations need different professionals

Psychological support alone may not be sufficient where medical assessment, psychiatric care, nutritional support, physical examination or crisis intervention is needed.

Professional and service support

Professional work also needs steady coordination

Watchful Mind supports Jing Li’s professional content and services through bilingual communication, service coordination and content operations. Chinese-language psychological support is the primary service; English communication support does not imply that Jing provides full professional services in English.

Where needs fall outside Jing’s scope or require medical, nutritional, psychiatric or other support, an appropriate resource or referral path may be suggested.
