Therapists
Working within the private and charity sectors, I have helped individuals from all walks of life and cultures address and manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, work-life balance, relationship issues, life transitions, adverse childhood experiences as well as those who have wanted to deepen their self-awareness. My multicultural background enhances my approach to therapy, empowering clients to gain new perspectives and a deeper understanding of their experiences. I am passionate about the positive impact therapy can have on the quality of life and am committed to helping clients overcome challenges in a supportive, safe and non-judgmental manner.
adopt a multi-model integrated approach, and draw upon evidence-based techniques that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as Solution-Focused Therapy. My area of special interest is relationship and couples counselling and I have completed Level 1 & 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. Each client is considered individually and counselling tools are suggested that best resonate with them and the issues they are experiencing.
I am a master’s level trained counsellor and have had experience working in Hong Kong and now the UK providing counselling services within the private and charity sectors. I am a Registered Member of the BACP and Accredited Registrant Member of the NCPS. I have previously been a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), Hong Kong Society of Counselling & Psychology (HKSCP) and Psychotherapy Society of Hong Kong (PSHK). In addition, I hold a level 1 certificate in Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
