I am passionate about providing caring and compassionate psychological support that is tailored to clients with various mental health issues. My expertise covers a broad range of presentations. These include adjustment difficulties to life transitions and work stress, anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, personality disorders, self-esteem issues, and loss and grief. I am particularly interested in how some of these issues might impact individuals in the workplace, and I offer support in relation to this. I have a rich background in conducting clinical, diagnostic and neuropsychological assessments and delivering personalised psychological interventions. My research specialties also include addressing sleep problems and psychotic spectrum disorders. I work with a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches including Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, CBT, and DBT. With this range of approaches to draw from, I will tailor a treatment plan to suit my clients' specific needs to give them the best outcomes possible. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology and have over a decade of experience in senior and supervisory roles. Having practiced in Hong Kong and Australia, I deliver therapy in English, Cantonese and Mandarin.  

I am extremely passionate about the genuine person-centred and strength-based approach in psychology. I believe psychologists should aim to assist clients in exploring their unique values and identities. In addition, “not being able to be our genuine self” brings distress in the workplace as well as in personal life. When supporting my clients – instead of assuming the expert position – I partner with them, exploring their potential and understanding who they want to be. During the therapy journey, my goal is to create a safe place where my clients can be heard.  

I am an experienced clinical psychologist and mediator who has worked in clinical, forensic and community settings with individuals, couples and groups to address current and past issues to help them develop life skills to successfully manage challenges and improve wellbeing.
