If you are facing life challenges right now, and you are looking for a safe non judgemental space to explore your concerns, do get in touch.
As a person-centred counsellor, I respect you as the authority on what it is that is causing you unhappiness or distress. I will listen to what it is you need to bring to the therapeutic relationship with understanding and without judgement. I recognise you as the individual you are and you will always be at the centre of the therapeutic relationship.

Life is never a linear journey, when it throws you a curve ball, it's important that you have someone to talk to.
I am an Integrative Practitioner, which means I can blend a range of therapeutic techniques tailored to support you to achieve your goals and/or the focus of your therapy journey. Through psycho-education and appropriate therapy interventions, I will support you to understand where your difficulties originate from, how they are continuing to impacting you in the here and now, so you begin to move forward towards a more emotionally balanced version of yourself. I very much take the view we are two experts working collaboratively together to move you into a more positive psychological space.

Our truth is often lost to trauma and life, and yet it exists.
I am open to working with clients of all genders aged 22 and over. My interest based focus is on sexuality, personality development, sexual trauma, and relationships. I prefer to work with clients who have not found success with other therapists and still seek to. If you’re taking on a difficult challenge and struggling to find your way, look up my number.

Has life become confusing or difficult, are you having relationship or family issues?
I work with a psychodynamic focus, understanding how the unconscious, the past, the unspoken and our early relationships affect how we live in the present in ways we are not fully aware of. My approach is also strongly informed by humanistic approaches, where the core values are of meeting you where you are, being genuine, authentic and non-judgemental.

I can help you work through your emotions; be more present in your everyday life; bring unconscious patterns into awareness and help you make sense of your relationships.
Are you burned out and overwhelmed? I help adult professionals manage stress and anxiety through talking therapy, presence practice and mindfulness. We can all experience burn out at some point. It's normal and it's nature's way of telling us to slow down. We don't always have the luxury of slowing down but we can learn to feel more connected to ourselves and others.

Does the weight of past traumatic experiences leave you feeling stuck, trapped in patterns that no longer serve you? You don’t have to navigate this alone.

That life feels out of control, or its hard to find what you want or how to get it.
Psychological approaches I use include Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR), CBT, Structured Clinical Management & Psychodynamic approaches. I am currently undertaking a Core Training in Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy. The approach I use depends on the issues an individual brings to therapy and can be tailored as required.

As a life coach, I will facilitate transformation to the ideal you, you aspire to be.
Are you adversely affected by negative or unwanted emotions? A large focus in my work is helping my clients to achieve conscious control of an otherwise subconscious process. After 6 - 8 sessions of working with me, you will have much better control of your emotions, therefore a lot of issues that revolve around unwanted emotions will no longer be an issue. If you're interested in DBT, get in touch and I'll show you another approach that gets much better results with far less effort in a significantly shorter timeframe.

As a person struggles with my ADHD all of my life, I share similar challenges.
I completed my undergraduate degree in the UK before returning to Hong Kong for further studies. I then obtained my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in the United States. Three years ago, I relocated to the UK to continue my practice as a therapist. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where they can explore solutions or gain new perspectives. I am committed to supporting and encouraging my clients as they navigate their challenges, empowering them when they need it most.

Whether you feel like you don’t belong, are not good enough, feel lost, struggling with work life balance or feel stuck, feeling this way doesn’t have to last forever.
I work as an integrative therapist, meaning that we might use different therapies depending on what is suitable and what works. Some of these may look at the past, some of them focus on the present and some look towards the future. I always think it is important to talk about endings in therapy and we will work towards this journey together.
