Neuroscience has attested to the truth that we are hard-wired to connect, yet many people feel disconnected from others in contemporary world. Many suffer from alienation from themselves, fearfully not knowing what to make of the surge of unconscious impulses/feelings/fantasies. Psychotherapy is to redo these alienations, to bring wholeness to oneself and to one’s relationship, and to enhance more satisfaction in love and work. Seeing my clients boldly and lovingly embrace their true self and feelings with compassionate understanding brings me greatest joy.

I am a chartered psychologist and clinical sexologist. I lived in HK for 25 years but am currently located in the UK. I will next be in HK for in-person sessions in September 24, and we can also meet online. Within the broad field of therapy, I lean naturally towards working with issues involving the interplay of psychology and biology. I have worked extensively with eating and sexual disturbances, stress, anxiety, pain, and disrupted sleep. Through this work my interest expanded to related issues such as low self-esteem, depression, shame and trauma.

I work with individuals and couples who feel out of sync and stuck in their current patterns.

Do you want to understand why you always act the way you do?

We all encounter a degree of adversity at some point - often many points - in our lives. Whether this adversity involves stress, loss, transition, trauma or general uncertainty - you don’t have to navigate these difficult circumstances on your own. I specialise in guiding my clients through these periods, by first establishing stability; and then working towards growth and greater resilience. Our focus might be developing new coping/relationship/interpersonal skills; building insight in to how early trauma or past experiences may be impacting you; or reconnecting to your sense of self and meaning/purpose, among other things.

Life can be a struggle, and for some, the reasons for seeking therapy are clear: you might be exhausted, easily irritated, or extra sensitive. Perhaps you're constantly worrying or stuck in a low mood. Maybe you struggle to connect with others and fear you don't belong. You've noted specific problems you want to understand better and overcome. However, there are also times when it might not be so evident and you sense a lack of meaning, purpose, and satisfaction, and want to explore a way forward. I typically work with young (18+) and adult professionals looking to make more meaningful rather than reactive changes to their lives.

I work with adults and teenagers struggling with anxiety, depression, anger management, low self esteem and personality disorders. I help clients work on thought distortions at the roots of their distress which in turn helps alleviate their strong negative emotions (worry, shame, guilt, sadness, self-loathing etc.). Most of my clients see an easing of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
