About me
I am a Hong Kong Canadian counselling psychologist with clinical experience with a culturally diverse clientele in private practice, serving expatriates and citizens in Europe and Asia. In therapy, I create this safe space for you to express emotions without inhibition. Compassion, cultural sensitivity, and trauma-informed care are at the core of my practice.
I have practiced at a university counselling centre and a number of private clinics where I get to familiarise myself with the common struggles of young and mid-age adults such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, family conflicts, relationship dissatisfaction, identity exploration, and career transition.
I believe therapy can deliver holistic benefits beyond symptom relief because it helps with not only restoring everyday functioning, but also finding lasting joy and building satisfying relationships.
To safeguard your wellbeing, I continue to receive regular clinical supervision with an experienced supervisor. I’m also engaged in continual education to broaden my repertoire to hold space for you. In 2023, I will obtain certification in Focusing Therapy (a somatic technique) and will be training further in psychodynamic therapy and mindful self-compassion with respective professional institutes.
Having lived in North America, studied about Europe, received education in Hong Kong, worked in Greater China - I understand the difficulties of cross cultural integration. I speak English, Cantonese, and Chinese Mandarin fluently and welcome clients of all colours.
Over the years, I've written about emotional exhaustion, parental overprotection, and racism on newspapers, read more here /contact me here:

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
In you I see a unique and complex person with individualised temperament, thoughts, feelings, relational patterns, and unmet needs.
In therapy, we work collaboratively to understand your distress from a compassionate angle. You're the engine of change while I assist you to identify your strengths to fuel effective long-term changes to even the most deep-seated issues.
My Orientation: It's more than just the medical model's diagnostic manual and treatment protocol. I draw on Psychodynamic perspectives (unconscious, defences, emotions, dreams, free associations etc), while integrating cognitive-behavioural tools, compassion, and body-oriented experiential techniques.
Therapy Process: With a comprehensive assessment comes a tailored treatment plan. The goal of our weekly or biweekly sessions: to relieve the symptoms you're suffering while achieving greater self-knowledge and acceptance. That is, address current problems and build long-term resilience.
Outcomes: Insights, corrective emotional experiences, and adaptive coping skills; hence lasting joy and satisfying relationships.
