Areas I work with
I work primarily with adults experiencing difficulties such as:
Anxiety and excessive worry
Burnout and work-related stress
Perfectionism and high self-criticism
Low self-esteem
Depression and low mood
Trauma-related difficulties and distressing memories
Difficulties with boundaries and people-pleasing
Major life changes and adjustment difficulties
I tailor therapy to your individual circumstances and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Evidence-Based Psychological Therapy
My approach is grounded in evidence-based psychological therapies and informed by each person's individual circumstances and treatment goals.
I primarily draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. CBT can be particularly helpful for difficulties such as anxiety, depression, perfectionism, burnout and patterns of thinking or behaviour that are maintaining distress. EMDR may be appropriate when trauma, PTSD or distressing memories are central to the difficulties.
I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Initial assessment helps us understand what you are experiencing and determine which therapeutic approach is most appropriate.
Psychological Therapy for Professionals and Expats in Hong Kong
I work primarily with adults, including professionals, senior executives, entrepreneurs and expats living or working in Hong Kong.
Many of the people I work with are accustomed to functioning at a high level while privately experiencing anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, self-criticism, work-related stress or difficulty switching off.
Therapy provides a confidential and structured space to understand these difficulties and work towards meaningful, sustainable change.
Sessions are available online in English and French during Hong Kong office hours.
My approach to Therapy
I aim to provide therapy that is thoughtful, practical and collaborative. We work together to understand what is contributing to your difficulties, identify meaningful goals and develop strategies that can be applied to everyday life.
I will also regularly review whether therapy is helping and adapt the approach where needed. The aim is not simply to manage symptoms, but to help you develop a better understanding of yourself and create lasting change.
