As a child psychologist and parent, I understand how hard it can be to find the right support for your child or teen when they are struggling and need it most. Whether you have concerns about your child or teen's well being or development and they require individual support or you just want to know you are going in the right direction as a parent, I'm here to help. I will first complete an initial assessment with you and your child or teen to develop and understanding of the difficulties they face, which will then help guide treatment. We will then decide on the collaborative goals to work towards in therapy.

As a psychologist, I combine professional expertise and rigorous training with compassion and warmth, to support you with tailored, meaningful therapy.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client is the most important and effective factor in successful therapy, and I do not see people as labels. You may know exactly what you want help with or perhaps there's a mix of issues bringing you to therapy. Either way, we can explore what you need most now and come up with a plan to help you feel better and support positive change and growth.

At times of feeling low or anxious we often think, “what’s the point of trying it won’t make any difference”, leading to feelings of depression, sadness, fear and tearfulness. This then leads to changes in our behaviour such as withdrawing from others or staying in bed as we mull things over in our heads which makes us feel worse. Additionally, past trauma issues can often leave us feeling overwhelmed or with experiences of flashbacks and nightmares. Relationship issues left unresolved often leave us with a sense of helplessness and relationship breakdown leave us feel confused. Does this sound familiar to you?

Mental health difficulties can leave us feeling rejected, isolated and alone. This is a hard cycle to break, because we tend to manage our problems in ways that leave us feeling even worse.

It is very human to have psychological difficulties at various points in our lives. Difficult things can happen to us leaving us feeling scared and/ or low/ depressed. Society can also make us feel pressurised to look a certain way and we can feel pretty worthless if don't believe that we conform to these societal expectations. All of these can be both frightening and overwhelming, which makes it so important to have a calm, compassionate and skilful therapist to guide you towards recovery.

We encounter various kinds of difficulties and challenges every day. At times, it can be challenging to open up to others, therefore leading to feelings of confusion and a sense of powerlessness. Recently, many individuals from Hong Kong who have relocated to the UK have faced setbacks in their social, professional, or academic pursuits. Such challenges often stem from uncertainties surrounding self-image and self-worth while adapting to a new environment. If you find yourself in a similar situation, exploring yourself through psychological counseling can provide you with more effective means to understand and address these emotions

You’re always “switched on” – spinning plates, meeting deadlines, supporting everyone else. (Blue Light Card holder? 50% off first 4 sessions)
You’re the one people turn to. But lately, you’ve felt worn out but also wired, anxious beneath the surface. You keep showing up, but it’s getting harder to feel present. "How can nobody else see this?" Even when things look fine from the outside, you feel like you’re slowly unravelling. You wonder when it became normal to ignore your own needs just to get through the week. Even taking some time off doesn't help, the problem's still there when I get back. "Who's there for me?"

If you're a woman who grew up walking on eggshells, caring for everyone but yourself, or learning young that your feelings didn't matter, you may still be carrying the weight of that childhood into your adult life. You might appear to cope well, but underneath, feel anxious, disconnected, exhausted by people-pleasing, or caught in toxic relationships you can't quite make sense of. You are not alone, and there is nothing wrong with you
