About Me

We may not be able to control the external events or the actions of people around us; we can choose to respond in ways that strengthen and empower us, regardless of the situation we face. It is my belief and experience that by looking inwards, we can transform the impacts of our past and create a different future and perspective for ourselves. I specialize in helping clients heal from traumatic or distressing experiences, primarily by utilizing Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing and Lifespan Integration. My approach is also grounded in somatic psychology, polyvagal theory, Ego States theory, CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I practice in English, Cantonese and Mandarin. In our initial sessions, we will normally focus on history taking, assessing your needs and goals. By the end of this evaluation, I will provide you with preliminary insights into what our counselling journey may entail should you opt to proceed. This will encompass our objectives, the approaches we will employ, the approximate time investment required, and the activities involved. My interest in becoming a counsellor came from my experience of witnessing a close family member suffering from schizophrenia, along with my own struggles with family and relationship traumas, anxiety and self-confidence. My goal is to come alongside my clients to create conditions for healing, resilience and growth.
