Therapists in Hong Kong

Feeling unsure about yourself? Is planning a family causing some restlessness, anxiety or stress? Sometimes this is the first time a women may feel out of control. Understanding this is normal and learning ways to adapt and cope with changing roles in the different phases allows us to regain the that sense of self and control. My first-hand experience in caring for those experiencing maternal mental health issues such as postnatal depression, adjusting to parenthood, grieving a miscarriage, as well changes associated with the ageing process has given me insight to the numerous challenges individuals and families go through.

Are you feeling stuck? Would you like to connect with your authentic self and create your life anew? Having served nearly a thousand clients to date, I trust that everyone has a healer within, and my role is to support and empower you to rediscover your strengths and resources, to heal from your past and trauma in the process, and to experience flow and freedom in life again.

In a therapeutic relationship in which we are ourselves without a social mask and fully present, our brains, the most amazing organs in the universe, are continually shaped. You don't need to succumb to anxiety, stress, and other negative emotions. False fears and wrong beliefs affect all of us, you are not alone. Thoughts are not facts. Once you have become proficient at identifying your automatic thoughts and emotions, you could live the life you love and love the life you live. When thinking about the most meaningful life for yourself, you could also consider your strengths and how to make use of your own great potential.

Are you ready to take charge of your life and create the future you want? Sometimes life can be difficult. it feels like all the energy is being drained out of you just to get by for another day. My goal is to walk alongside you, lift some of the heaviness off you, transform you from surviving to thriving, celebrate your uniqueness, integrate and mobilize your innate strengths and resources, and connect you to your authentic self so you can live a self‐directed life that brings wholeness.
