Feeling unsure about yourself? Is planning a family causing some restlessness, anxiety or stress? Sometimes this is the first time a women may feel out of control. Understanding this is normal and learning ways to adapt and cope with changing roles in the different phases allows us to regain the that sense of self and control. My first-hand experience in caring for those experiencing maternal mental health issues such as postnatal depression, adjusting to parenthood, grieving a miscarriage, as well changes associated with the ageing process has given me insight to the numerous challenges individuals and families go through.

I work with adults and teenagers struggling with anxiety, depression, anger management, low self esteem and personality disorders. I help clients work on thought distortions at the roots of their distress which in turn helps alleviate their strong negative emotions (worry, shame, guilt, sadness, self-loathing etc.). Most of my clients see an easing of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I'm a trauma-informed therapist using a relational approach to help client transform unhelpful patterns, live more freely and fully, find lasting joy, and build satisfying relationships. In you I see a unique and complex person with your individualised temperaments, feelings, relational patterns, and unmet needs. In therapy, we dissect your distress from a compassionate angle and fathom how the past is affecting our present difficulties. Positive changes follow as we get to express what was repressed, clear blockages, hence expand the freedom to make self-directed choices in life. I'm trilingual and speak English/Cantonese/Mandarin.

Individuals and families tend to seek out my support for difficulties with keeping their mood in balance, managing impulses and compulsions, maintaining focus and attention, establishing interpersonal relationships and difficulties with managing conflict in relationships. Many look for understanding of causes, concrete action plans, and moving forward and enjoy learning more deeply about their own presentation as well as accurate facts about what is typical. This normalisation of experiences frequently helps many to feel more engaged in their own process, which is a key factor in achieving steps towards desired results in life.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
