Some practitioners also offer specialised expertise, for example, - Eating disorders (Summer Guo) - Child and adolescent therapy - Neurodiversity and EMDR for trauma (Yixuan Li) - Incorporating art and play in therapy (Cynthia Tsoi) - Marriage and intimate relationship issues (Maxi Xie).
We use diverse therapeutic approaches and have extensive experience supporting the migrant community. Our aim is to help clients gain insight, grow through experience, and find relief from psychological distress. Services include psychology diagnosis and assessment, individual counselling, couple therapy, art therapy, sex therapy and clinical supervision.
It can be daunting to start psychotherapy if you have never seen a psychologist/counsellor or had a negative experience before.

Our practitioners are trained in various modalities, allowing them to use integrated treatment approaches and tailor to each individual. For example, a client presenting with panic attacks may reap full benefit from 4-6 sessions of CBT whereas another client may want to address underlying issues linking back to complex trauma therefore needs longer-term treatment such as psychodynamic therapy.
