Therapists in Hong Kong

I often meet clients as they are reaching the limits of their abilities to handle life's surprises. This doesn't necessarily mean that their lives are falling apart, but they're recognising what is working for them now may not always work and they're seeking new ideas and new ways to live. Whether that is handling stress at work, dealing with conflicts in their relationships, clients I work with often feel like they're coming up short and are unable to break through - in short, like they're stuck. They want to try something new but are unsure what may work and are looking for resources and support to build themselves up.

I work with adults who are struggling to navigate the pressures of high-performance environments, challenging relationship dynamics and limiting self-beliefs. I specialise in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, loneliness, and distress in relationships – both at home and in the workplace. Through my empathetic approach, I help to foster a safe non-judgmental space for clients to explore their emotions and develop effective coping strategies through personalised evidence-based techniques.

I work with adults who have a desire to better understand themselves and their place in the world. My primary area of focus is disconnection; from self, others, or from a sense of purpose in life. I believe that when we feel disconnected, a range of problems may arise as a result. Anxiety, depression, substance use, compulsive behaviours or feelings of numbness and unreality can often be alleviated through identifying areas in our life where we have become disconnected.

Have you ever felt that whatever lousy habit you try to break, you keep on relapsing? Do you tend to sabotage work opportunities and relationships? Are relationships a source of distress for you? Do you sometimes feel your body is startled without any apparent reason? Given the situation, have you heard from other people that you are overreacting? (and, of course, this made you even more reactive). Are you far too familiar with feelings of anxiety and recurrent low mood? Or, in other moments, are you shutting off and experiencing a sense of numbness, detachment, or not even being fully present in your body? Trauma therapy can help!

Hello. I've been helping people overcome their personal and professional obstacles quickly and effectively for a very long time. Whether online or in-person, and whether your concerns include specific (fear of flying or public speaking) or general anxiety, couples conflict (pre or post nuptials, child rearing, separating or divorce concerns,) work issues with a colleague or boss, quitting smoking or vaping.

I enjoy working with teens and adults and work to build a trusting and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, where clients feel safe to express themselves authentically. I strive to create an environment where clients can explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences freely, while also providing practical tools and strategies to address their concerns. I aim to collaboratively explore and deconstruct the dominant narratives that contribute to client distress, while actively working towards constructing new, preferred stories that are more aligned with their values and aspirations.

We encounter various kinds of difficulties and challenges every day. At times, it can be challenging to open up to others, leaving us to confront these issues alone. This may lead to feelings of confusion and suffocation with a sense of powerlessness and lacking viable solutions. If you find yourself in a similar situation, exploring yourself through psychological counseling can provide you with more effective means to understand and address these emotions and difficulties. 'It is fine not to be fine', this motto has always been a cornerstone of my professional philosophy, so let’s talk and walk together if you are in need.

In a therapeutic relationship in which we are ourselves without a social mask and fully present, our brains, the most amazing organs in the universe, are continually shaped. You don't need to succumb to anxiety, stress, and other negative emotions. False fears and wrong beliefs affect all of us, you are not alone. Thoughts are not facts. Once you have become proficient at identifying your automatic thoughts and emotions, you could live the life you love and love the life you live. When thinking about the most meaningful life for yourself, you could also consider your strengths and how to make use of your own great potential.
