Therapy Approach

Hong Kong English Speaking Therapist Counsellor Psychologist

Your Therapy, Tailored to You

As a dedicated Clinical Counsellor and Therapist in Hong Kong, my practice is built on a simple belief: effective therapy and counselling must be tailored to you. I am trained in a range of specialized, evidence-based modalities, which allows me to design a personalized approach that fits your unique needs and goals.

Where I Can Offer Support

I specialize in guiding adults through the complexities of modern life, including:

  • Women’s Mental Health

  • Relationship Conflict and Improving Communication

  • Work-Related Stress, Burnout, and Performance Anxiety

  • Major Life Transitions: (e.g., career change, relocation, relationship shifts)

  • Trauma and Overcoming Past Adversity

  • Self-Worth and Quieting the Inner Critic

My goal is to provide you with more than just insight. I provide practical tools to break down the causes of your distress, regulate difficult emotions, and help you realign your actions with your core values.

Therapy Approaches We Can Use

My holistic approach draws from proven, scientific methods, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To identify and transform negative thought patterns.

  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT): To help you build a meaningful life, even with difficult thoughts and feelings.

  • Compassionate Inquiry (CI): To gently uncover and release deep-seated emotional patterns.

  • Mindfulness-Based Therapies (MBCT/MBSR): To cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce stress.

  • Schema Therapy: To understand and heal self-defeating emotional and interpersonal life patterns that keep you stuck.

  • Gottman Method Couples Therapy: A practical, research-based approach to strengthening relationships.

  • Somatic Practices: Incorporating principles from yoga and meditation to help release past stress and trauma held in the body.
