I often meet clients as they are reaching the limits of their abilities to handle life's surprises. This doesn't necessarily mean that their lives are falling apart, but they're recognising what is working for them now may not always work and they're seeking new ideas and new ways to live. Whether that is handling stress at work, dealing with conflicts in their relationships, clients I work with often feel like they're coming up short and are unable to break through - in short, like they're stuck. They want to try something new but are unsure what may work and are looking for resources and support to build themselves up.

My clients are professionals and couples navigating stress, trauma, or major life transitions—career changes, grief, infidelity challenges. They feel stuck, anxious, and disconnected, craving clarity and emotional safety. Their goal is to restore balance, rebuild trust, and move forward with confidence. They want relief from overwhelm and a renewed sense of purpose because life feels too heavy to carry alone.

Hi! Originally from Canada, I’m a specialist counsellor and sport psychologist with over 20 years’ experience. Currently I specialize in three areas: Couples Counselling, ADHD (all ages) and Mental Training for Athletes. My basic approach is fluid and flexible, but more importantly... practical. In general, I work under the assumption people come to therapy (or coaching) seeking real-life solutions & strategies and a new way of being, rather than ongoing “talk therapy” or loads of theory. Ready for change? Great. Let's make it happen... ;)

We encounter various kinds of difficulties and challenges every day. At times, it can be challenging to open up to others, leaving us to confront these issues alone. This may lead to feelings of confusion and suffocation with a sense of powerlessness and lacking viable solutions. 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 and difficulties. 'It is fine not to be fine', this motto has always been a cornerstone of my professional philosophy, so let’s talk and walk together if you are in need.

If you’re an English‑speaking expat in Hong Kong carrying anxiety, relationship stress, or the weight of unresolved family‑of‑origin patterns, you deserve a space that feels safe and deeply supportive. Many of my clients are high‑achieving professionals who appear composed on the outside but privately feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in old relational cycles. Living abroad often brings these deeper emotional patterns to the surface.

I’m a therapist and coach specialising in confidence, social/performance anxiety, and visibility. I work with high-achieving clients who look accomplished on the outside — but behind the scenes, anxiety is calling the shots. That anxiety might show up before big meetings. In group settings where you feel on display. Or in those quiet moments of overthinking, second-guessing, and wondering, “Am I really good enough to be here?” Many of my clients are leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs, or professionals. They’ve learned how to perform confidence — but it still feels effortful, and often exhausting, and doesn't eliminate anxiety.

Do you want to break free from substance-use, anxiety or some other problematic way of coping? I am a psychotherapist specialising in helping people separate from anxieties (specific and general), addictions (substance and process), distressed eating and the effects of trauma. This also involves relationship issues, problematic patterns of thinking and behaviour, body image and sex, shame and guilt. These problematic coping mechanisms are often tangled up with underlying pain and distress which remains hidden from us and I work with clients in a two-step process to resolve this.

Have you ever felt that whatever lousy habit you try to break, you keep on relapsing? Do you tend to sabotage work opportunities and relationships? Are relationships a source of distress for you? Do you sometimes feel your body is startled without any apparent reason? Given the situation, have you heard from other people that you are overreacting? (and, of course, this made you even more reactive). Are you far too familiar with feelings of anxiety and recurrent low mood? Or, in other moments, are you shutting off and experiencing a sense of numbness, detachment, or not even being fully present in your body? Trauma therapy can help!

I work with individuals seeking to understand themselves and reconnect with their authentic self. Most people have negative beliefs, thinking patterns and habits unconsciously carried from their experiences in their younger years. As they evolve and enter new phases of life, these patterns often result in disconnection, relationship problems and anxiety or depressive symptoms. I use a trauma-informed approach to help clients uncover the roots of such beliefs, identify and address any unresolved emotional needs and incorporate somatic techniques to facilitate emotional regulation and the creation of healthier beliefs and patterns.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
