I am a bilingual Integrative Counsellor, offering sessions in both English and Cantonese. With extensive experience as a counsellor and lecturer, I specialize in multicultural counselling and draw on a strong academic foundation and professional expertise.

My practice is rooted in promoting mental health, fostering inclusive and affirming spaces, and embracing cultural and sexual diversity. I adopt an integrative approach to therapy and stay informed by the latest advancements in counselling research to provide thoughtful, evidence-based support.

With over 20 years of experience, I have supported marginalized groups, including sexual and gender minorities, people living with HIV, individuals with disabilities, and migrants. These experiences have enhanced my ability to work effectively with people from various cultural, social, and economic backgrounds.

I adhere to the professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP, [410702] Registered) and the Asia Pacific Professional Counsellors Association (APCPA, [RC220006] Accredited), Social Workers Registration Board (SWRB, [03520] Accredited), ensuring integrity, proficiency, and responsibility in my practice.

I take an integrative approach to therapy, blending various therapeutic methods to suit your unique needs. Rather than adhering to a single approach, I customize our work to support your emotions, thoughts, and relationships, fostering a safe and nurturing environment for healing and growth. My practice is grounded in the following core approaches, which serve as a foundation for our work together:

1. Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) fosters self-discovery and personal growth through compassionate listening and reflection. Our conversations serve as a mirror, helping you explore and understand your emotions. Built on trust, respect, and collaboration, this therapy empowers you to make informed decisions aligned with your values and aspirations.

2. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps you explore and transform emotions that shape your relationships and well-being. In a safe and supportive space, we will uncover emotional patterns, strengthen meaningful connections, and foster resilience. This process allows for healing, building secure relationships, and creating lasting positive change.

3. Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) emphasizes strengths and practical solutions to overcome challenges. Together, we will explore your unique experiences and aspirations, identifying resources and strategies to navigate difficulties. Each step forward, no matter how small, is celebrated as we work toward achieving your goals and a fulfilling future.

4. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns that impact emotions and behaviors. Through structured strategies, we will replace unhelpful thoughts with healthier perspectives, fostering positive actions and coping mechanisms. This approach provides practical tools for managing difficulties and enhancing overall well-being.

These core approaches are central to my practice, and I draw upon them extensively. However, I recognize that each individual's journey is unique. Therefore, I remain flexible and open to incorporating other therapeutic techniques and modalities as needed, tailoring our sessions to best support your specific needs and goals. This ensures a collaborative and supportive therapeutic experience that is truly personalized to you.
