Hi! I'm Aika. I consistently strive to be an authentic, curious and professional psychologist, to create a safe space where those I work with can feel like they can speak freely and honestly and be supported with meaningful steps forward in their lives. Though I have lived and worked in the UK for over a decade now, I was born and raised in Hong Kong, a vibrant and multicultural city that I am proud to call home. I read my bachelor’s degree at the University of Cambridge, my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Sciences at University College London, and my doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Oxford.

Many people seek out therapy when they are having challenges within their relationships, with partners, families or friends. There may be a crisis, or a transition/new situation that feels too much to integrate. Perhaps a sense that looking back in more depth may be helpful. I am an experienced therapist, committed to my work, and care deeply about people, their wellbeing and place in the world. I am conscious of how difficult it can be to start talking openly, and my aim will always be to establish a safe, creative connection – so that what has perhaps previously been unspoken can be shared, processed and understood together.

Working exclusively via video call ensuring that clients feel relaxed in familiar surroundings, I work with my clients to help them to find a route through their struggles, helping them to unhook themselves from unhelpful thinking styles and strategies. From the outset my clients understand that counselling requires them to put into practice the things that we identify during our sessions - just like homework. The solutions don't come from our sessions, they come from the work that my clients put in between our sessions.

Hi, I'm Oliver and I’m an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist.
I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting. That’s why my priority is to create a safe, welcoming environment where you can explore whatever you’re facing - at your own pace and in your own way.
My approach is based on the belief that therapy works through being truly heard, developing a deeper understanding of ourselves, and releasing emotions that may have been pushed aside. Therapy can be a place to reflect on our relationships. It can also be helpful to get in touch with emotions that we have not been able to express.

I have experience working with trauma, including complex trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, women’s health, cancer support, bereavement, youth and adolescent development, and eating disorders.
My practice is informed by psychodynamic and humanistic approaches which means we might choose to look at issues presenting in the here-and-now and also things you may have experienced in the past. Central to my practice is belief that the therapeutic relationship – our relationship – is integral in supporting an effective and positive experience of therapy.

Working from a person-centered approach, I aim at supporting you with the challenges and difficulties you face by reclaiming your own story and narrative. I understand that destructive and painful patterns in behaviours and thoughts serve an adaptive function. With compassion, we can explore what lies behind these protective mechanisms and build curiosity towards oneself.

My ideal clients are adults and young adults living with the effects of early trauma, emotionally unsafe relationships, loss, or long-standing patterns of shame and anxiety. Many are thoughtful and self-aware, and may have had therapy before, yet still feel stuck or disconnected in some way. They are often looking for something deeper: a space where they don’t have to rush, explain, or perform, and where change can happen at a pace that feels manageable.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
