I am a Hong Kong-based counsellor working with adults, youths, and families (English, Cantonese, Mandarin) on issues surrounding life transitions, work and school issues, mood management, and family dynamics. I will walk alongside you in confronting difficult decisions head-on, while navigating complex emotions and mental blocks. I always aim to create a friendly atmosphere for people to feel understood and valued, so that anyone can embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and restoration.
Leveraging insights from my formal training in academic research and techniques from Emotionally Focused therapy and Cognitive-Behavioural therapy, I will create safe spaces for you to explore the maze of emotions and experiences. I also empower individuals to manage depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders effectively, fostering healing and change.
If you are seeking understanding, support, and guidance in overcoming life's challenges, I am here to walk alongside you. With a compassionate approach and a commitment to your well-being, I will accompany you as you embark on a transformative journey towards resilience and personal empowerment.
