Common Challenges for Expats in Hong Kong

You may seek therapy because of:

• Anxiety, excessive worry or overthinking

• Difficulty adjusting after relocating to Hong Kong

• Loneliness, isolation or feeling disconnected

• Work-related stress or burnout

• Perfectionism and pressure to perform

• Relationship or family difficulties

• Low mood or loss of motivation

• Difficult past experiences or trauma

• Major life changes or uncertainty

You do not need to be in crisis to seek psychological support. Therapy can provide a structured space to understand what you are experiencing and identify ways to move forward.

What Brings Expats to Therapy in Hong Kong

Common reasons expats in Hong Kong seek therapy include:

• Anxiety and chronic stress linked to high-performance work environments

• Burnout that has built gradually and is now affecting daily functioning

• Relocation stress, cultural adjustment, and identity questions

• Loneliness, difficulty building meaningful relationships, or social withdrawal

• Unresolved experiences from home that have resurfaced in a new context

• Relationship difficulties, often intensified by the pressures of expat life

• Life transitions: promotions, relocations, relationship changes, or deciding whether to stay

How I Work with Expats in Hong Kong

I am a UK-trained Clinical Psychologist with NHS experience, offering online therapy in English and French. I work with expats across Hong Kong using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR — both of which are evidence-based, structured, and designed to create meaningful change rather than simply provide a space to talk.

Sessions are 50 minutes and conducted online, which means you can attend from your office, your home, or anywhere private, without adding a commute to an already full schedule. I work during Hong Kong office hours and am familiar with the specific pressures of professional expat life in this city.

Why Online Therapy Works Well for Expats

Online therapy can be particularly convenient for expats with demanding work schedules, frequent travel or limited time for appointments.

I provide online psychological therapy during Hong Kong office hours, allowing you to access therapy without travelling to a clinic.

During an initial consultation, we can discuss what you are experiencing and whether online therapy is appropriate for your individual circumstances.

Sessions in English and French

Sessions are available in both English and French.

I am a UK-trained Clinical Psychologist with NHS clinical experience, a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD), BABCP accreditation and membership of the Hong Kong Psychological Society.

My aim is to provide structured, evidence-based psychological therapy that is adapted to your individual circumstances, regardless of whether you choose to work in English or French.

CBT and EMDR Therapy for Expats

CBT may be particularly helpful when anxiety, perfectionism, burnout or patterns of thinking and behaviour are contributing to current difficulties.

EMDR may be appropriate when trauma, PTSD or distressing memories are central to what you are experiencing.

You do not need to decide which therapy is right for you before getting in touch. An initial assessment allows us to understand your difficulties and consider which approach is most appropriate.
