How much is a session with a psychologist in Hong Kong?

A 50-minute online CBT session with Dr. Aurélie Comes is HK$2,800. A 90-minute EMDR session is HK$4,200. A free 15-minute initial consultation is available before committing.

Do you offer therapy for teens in Hong Kong?

Yes, Dr. Aurélie Comes offers therapy for adolescents aged 13 and above. Parents and guardians are involved in the onboarding process and provided guidance on supporting progress at home.

Is EMDR therapy right for me?

EMDR can help with single-incident trauma as well as more complex or long-standing difficulties. A thorough assessment is conducted first, coping tools are built, and then memories are processed at a safe and manageable pace.

How many therapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on your goals and the nature of your concerns. CBT for anxiety typically takes 8-12 sessions. EMDR for a specific trauma often takes 6-12 sessions. A plan is set together and reviewed regularly.

Is online therapy effective?

Yes. Research consistently shows that online CBT and EMDR therapy are as effective as in-person sessions for anxiety, depression, burnout, and trauma. All sessions with Dr. Aurélie Comes are conducted online via secure video call.

Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?

No. You do not need a formal diagnosis to begin therapy. Many clients seek support for general stress, burnout, anxiety, or personal development without any prior diagnosis.

Fees & Booking

I believe in being transparent about fees. Below you will find full details on session costs, what is included, and how to get started. If you have any questions before booking, please feel free to get in touch.

Individual Therapy Sessions

50-minute CBT session: HK$2,800 Structured online therapy session using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Suitable for anxiety, burnout, depression, stress, overthinking, and personal development.

90-minute EMDR session: HK$4,200 Extended online session using Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). Recommended for trauma, persistent emotional distress, or when previous talking therapy has felt limited.

What Is Included

Every session includes: a structured, goal-directed approach tailored to your presenting concerns; written summaries or tools shared between sessions where relevant; regular progress reviews to ensure therapy is working; and clear communication about next steps.

There are no hidden fees. Sessions are charged individually. I do not require a minimum commitment, though I ask that you give at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations.

Free Initial Consultation

Before committing to therapy, I offer a free 15-minute consultation by video call. This gives us both the opportunity to discuss what you are looking for, ask any questions, and assess whether we are the right fit. There is no pressure and no obligation.

Corporate and Organisational Work

Workshops, keynotes, and multi-session programmes for organisations are priced separately depending on format, group size, and duration. Custom quotes start from HK$20,000. Please contact me directly to discuss your organisation's needs.

Payment

Payment is due at the time of booking. I accept local and international bank transfers. Sessions are conducted via a secure video platform (Microsoft Teams). A booking confirmation and video link are sent in advance of each session.

Insurance

I do not bill insurance companies directly. However, many international health insurance plans offered through employers in Hong Kong — including Bupa, AXA, and Cigna — provide reimbursement for sessions with a qualified clinical psychologist. I can provide a receipt and clinical invoice upon request for you to submit to your insurer. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm your entitlement before we begin.

If you are ready to take the first step, or would simply like to have a conversation first, I would be glad to hear from you.
