About Me
I am a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) Accredited Counsellor / Psychotherapist, which ensured I work following the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I hold an enhanced DBS certificate and professional indemnity insurance.
​​
I received my professional training from Hong Kong Baptist University. I am trained in integrative approach, which draws on techniques from different types of therapy to tailor an approach specifically for you. I further pursued my second Master's degree in Narrative Therapy, offered by the University of Melbourne and Dulwich Centre (at Adelaide, Australia). I have experience working with a wide variety of clients facing issues ranging from stress, anxiety, depression, loss, and cultural differences, to self-exploration and personal growth. Before moving into Private Practice I provided counselling in a clinic that supports people with smoking cession and at a charity.​
Since 2016, I have conducted collaborative research using narrative practices (narrative therapy) with students affected by behavioural issues, special education needs, ethnic minority youth, and Hongkongers relocating to the UK. I have shared the research findings at international academic conferences. In addition, I served as a Tutor and Instructor for Narrative Therapy training programmes catering to participants from Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. Furthermore, I was a lecturer and practicum supervisor for the Master’s degree programme in Counselling in Hong Kong. I also contributed chapters to books on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy case studies published in Hong Kong, Taiwan and India. ​I have a sensitive and gentle manner, and I will work at the pace which feels right for you. I will co-work with you on your adventurous journey in exploring forgotten stories in life, and co-construct the sparkling moments in your life to re-ignite preferred hopes and dreams.​
My Story
I was born, raised, and trained in Hong Kong. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in the charity sector, focusing on humanitarian relief efforts and supporting ethnic minority communities. Additionally, I served as a researcher specialising in ethnic minority issues and as a lecturer for psychology and counselling programs at universities.
​
My interest in counselling was sparked in 2014 when I was the co-director of a short documentary film. In my role as an interviewer, I found I could easily and quickly build rapport with interviewees and support them emotionally. This experience inspired me to pursue formal counsellor training. I strive to be a compassionate listener who offers support rather than directive advice, as I believe individuals are their own best experts.
As an autistic individual, diagnosed as an adult, I am committed to providing neurodiversity-affirming counselling that respects and celebrates the unique experiences and strengths of all neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, ADHD, and other neurological differences. My non-judgmental attitude, which I consider one of the strengths of my autistic traits, helps me build a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe and supported. Combined with my keen observational skills and deep empathy, this approach allows me to foster a respectful and open therapeutic relationship where clients can explore their authentic selves.
​
I am passionate about exploring the dynamics of power in relationships—whether with individuals or within broader systems. This has been a recurring theme in my personal and professional reflections. I also value the importance of self-understanding and self-care, as they are essential for meaningful growth and resilience.
Being a psychotherapist allows me to work alongside individuals as they explore their identities and the impact of their contexts. Together, we can cultivate a broader perspective, navigate life events, and redefine personal narratives, creating space for meaningful changes in the present and future.
