Are you struggling with some stressors and worried that you’ve developed some depressive, anxiety or post-traumatic stress symptoms? Are you feeling bothered by some traumatic experience and wanted something to be changed? I have been specialized in the treatment of anxiety, trauma and relationship problems for many years and work as a clinical psychologist for more than 20 years. I've got experience working in the community setting in Hong Kong and the NHS. Most of my clients have provided positive feedback for my psychological services.

I have extensive therapy experiences in supporting a wide range of challenges and all walks of life. I strive to work with you in a way which ensures that you can completely be 'just you'. You can be comfortable to bring any difficulties and unspoken thoughts and feelings to me, and we together find out 'the why(s)' in your life, relationships and in you. We recognize it is not easy, though I devote to building trust, that you can develop your own voice and resilience. We walk together to put listening, understanding and compassion first, before taking changes which are manageable, realistic and sustainable.

Having worked with many clients over the years, I have a good understanding of what human distress looks like. Often, we try to push the difficult feelings (both physical and emotional) aside and just ‘get on with it’. Sure enough, it works for a while, but then there comes a point when the usual coping strategies just stop working, and reaching out for help feels somehow wrong too; life feels stuck in vicious circles. If this sounds frustratingly familiar, then you are not alone. With my extensive experience, I can support you to reach your goals, or simply to figure out together first what the goals might be.

Life can be difficult at times and it can lead us feeling overwhelmed. You may not want to share your feelings or problems with friends or family, and this might be because you don’t want them to worry or you are unsure about whether they will understand what you are going through. It does not mean you have to go through your difficulties alone. Counselling is a journey of self-discovery and it can facilitate positive change. It can be a form of self-care to help to understand yourself better and to allow yourself to live the life that you want and achieve the things you thought you won’t be able to do.

I specialise in working with personality disorders EUPD, young people, exam stress, trauma, pstd, bereavement, sexual abuse, generalised anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, low-self esteem, depression, stress, existential crisis, self harm, life transitions, sex and relationships and familial conflicts. I adapt my practise to each individual's needs and can provide (DBT) Dialectical Behavioural Therapy aimed at helping with distress tolerance and interpersonal relationships. I will work with you to help gain a better understanding of the cause of these issues and find ways to move forward.

My clients, often navigating the complexities of work and family life, seek therapy to address intricate relationship issues. Balancing numerous demands, they aim to manage relationships, resolve challenges, and cultivate effective coping strategies. Their pursuit of holistic health, financial stability, and work-life balance drives them to seek guidance in optimizing outcomes while minimizing stress and expenses. They aspire to elevate their performance while safeguarding personal well-being, striving for sustained success in all aspects of their lives.
