"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. " “一个奇妙的悖论是:当我全然接纳真实的自己时,改变才会真正发生。” - 卡尔·罗杰斯 您好,我是Leo,一名在加拿大执业的注册心理咨询师,为您提供普通话心理咨询服务:) Hi, I’m Leo. I moved to Canada at age 39 and restarted my career from scratch. I have lived through the challenges of starting over while balancing the responsibilities of being a son, a husband, and a father. From caring for my aging parents to seeing my son enter McGill University, I understand the highs and lows of the immigrant journey.

You may be dealing with experiences that still feel present even if they happened a long time ago. Trauma doesn’t always show up as a clear memory—it often appears as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, shutdown, irritability, difficulty trusting others, or a persistent sense of being stuck in patterns you can’t quite shift. For many people, the challenge isn’t just what happened in the past—it’s how you and your nervous system adapted. You might find yourself functioning well on the outside while internally carrying tension, self-criticism, or a sense that something is not fully resolved.

My expertise is in working with difficulties related to relational dynamics, especially those found in Asian/Asian North American contexts and families. In addition to having lived in Hong Kong, I've worked diverse clients in Los Angeles and Vancouver and I enjoy working with people who are hoping to make better sense of themselves and others from multiple perspectives. Former clients of mine regularly feel as though they are more aware of their "blind spots", are more free to make good life choices, and are prepared to have more fulfilling relationships overall.

Do you feel like you are silently carrying a pain that others seem unable to understand? Not all pain is openly acknowledged. Whether it is the death of a loved one or a pet, a life-altering change in health, recovery from a motor vehicle accident (ICBC), or the end of a relationship—these unseen losses carry a crushing weight. When your internal gears silently jam, the loneliness can be overwhelming. Please know that your pain is real, and it deserves to be honoured.

Many of the people I work with look “functional” on the outside but feel tense, frustrated, or disconnected on the inside. You might be carrying a lot of anger or anxiety, struggling with shame, or noticing the same patterns show up in your relationships no matter how hard you try to change them. Therapy can be a place to slow this down: to understand what’s actually driving these patterns and to build more steady, honest ways of relating to yourself and others.

Sometimes, the challenges you face are too complex for words alone. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps it feels like different parts of you are in conflict and you are looking for a way to untangle these feelings, find clarity, and reclaim a sense of inner peace. You need a space where you don’t have to carry this burden in isolation, and where your struggles are met with curiosity rather than judgment.

Men's Issues Counsellors
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
