I work with people navigating cultural and migration stress, identity changes, trauma, mental health concerns, alcohol and other drug issues, and complex family or relationship challenges. Many clients come to me when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected or unsure how to move forward. They’re seeking a grounded, respectful space where their story is understood and their lived experience is honoured. My practice supports people wanting clarity, healing, confidence and a stronger sense of self.
I offer gentle, trauma‑informed counselling grounded in ACT, CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy and psychotherapy. With 14 years of experience across Hong Kong and Perth and Clinical PACFA registration, I support clients to understand their stories, strengthen boundaries, regulate emotions and navigate life transitions with confidence
It takes courage to reach out when you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure of the next step. You don’t have to face this alone. I offer a steady, culturally sensitive space where your story is respected and your pace is honoured. When you’re ready, I’m here to support you.

Clients often tell me they feel safe to open up because I listen without judgment and take time to understand their story. I support people navigating stress, mental health, addiction, trauma, grief and cultural or family challenges. Together, we explore what you're carrying and develop a plan that feels respectful, collaborative and paced to your needs.
