Hi, I’m Kiki. I believe every child and teenager deserves to be deeply understood, not just managed. I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Counselling and over 15 years of experience supporting children and adolescents with emotional, school, and family challenges.
I specialize in working with neurodivergent youth (Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia) and physical challenges, using strength-based and narrative approaches. Fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, I support young people in building self-esteem, emotional regulation, and resilience.

Often, these inner voices are like physical pain, and they are trying to tell you that in some corner of your life or inner world, you may have been carrying something alone for a long time.
I am especially drawn to working with trauma (particularly complex trauma, including childhood and relational experiences), perfectionism (the persistent “never good enough” voice), anxiety, depression, work stress, and challenges within intimate relationships. I also often work with individuals who are grieving the loss of someone important to them.

Many people come to therapy feeling unsure how they got here, simply knowing they feel anxious, worn down, or feel disconnected from themselves. You may be navigating stress, grief, or life transitions such as changes in relationships, health, work, retirement, or family roles. I also support adults across the lifespan, including older adults, and welcome those considering therapy for the first time or later in life. I also support neurodivergent adults, including individuals with autism or ADHD, many of whom have spent years masking, adapting, or questioning themselves in environments that weren't designed with their needs in mind.

Clients seeking my help have difficulty coping, and feel emotionally overloaded; but they are also ready for a change. Their distress can create anxiety and depression that results in negative thoughts, which influence your behavior and emotions. Avoiding unpleasant emotions can cause harm and inappropriate reactive behaviors. Emotional and psychological support for issues involving depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship issues, self-improvement, are some of the stressors I work with. Through counselling we can focus on your needs and set goals that will ultimately give you tools to cope with life on life's terms.

Hi, I’m Carmelle. I believe everyone can benefit from the support of a mental health professional, and I would feel honoured for the opportunity to witness your journey of growth.

I help people who are carrying emotional pain through life changes or past trauma.
You might be going through a big change—moving to a new country, starting over, grieving a loss, or questioning who you are. Maybe past trauma is surfacing, and you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained. Deep down, you’re searching for relief, clarity, and a way to move forward with more confidence and peace. My ideal client is someone who’s been strong for too long and is ready to feel safe, seen, and supported. If you’re looking for someone who gets the weight of transition and trauma, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it alone.
