Hi! I am Doris, a registered clinical psychologist in Hong Kong. I believe and respect the diversified natures, beauties and needs of individuals. At times our families, our friends or even ourselves could not adequately appreciate our natures and needs. We feel disappointed. We feel lost. These distresses come and go; yet some time they may stay for a longer time and disturb us severely. When one feels stressed, lost, anxious or hopeless, perhaps it is the time to chat with a clinical psychologist. If you are willing, I am ready to walk with you, and to explore the alternatives in the midst of your life challenges and burdens!

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... ;)

I work with individuals and couples. I believe that everyone has the innate ability to find solutions to their own problems. My approach to therapy includes building upon clients’ strengths and existing resources, as well as helping them cultivate and identify new resources to manage the challenges they are experiencing. I was born and brought up in HK. Having studied locally and in the UK, I’m fully aware of the issues of living overseas and the impact this can have on families and individuals. I speak English, Hindi, Sindhi and basic Cantonese.

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.

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.

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.
