Hi, I'm a final year trainee counselling psychologist based in Bristol, UK. I'm a Registered member of BACP, with 10 years of counselling and psychotherapy experiences, specialising in sexuality, gender and relationship diversity issues and adults' mental health problems. Between 2013 and 2021, I practised as a registered psychologist in Hong Kong, then I decided to pursue further training and education in the UK.
Originally from Hong Kong, and growing up in the UK and Canada during my adolescence and young adulthood, I have acquired a strong cultural sensitivity and openness to individual differences. Before I embarked on the journey in understanding human minds and behaviours, I had experienced a great deal of struggles in balancing between my own needs and the expectation of the wider society in terms of academic and career choices, until I became fully aware of my urge in pursuing a fulfilling and meaningful role that reflects me.
In my practice, I place a strong focus on diversity and inclusion. I have had extensive experiences in working with neurodiverse individuals and with the gender, sexual and relationship diverse community. Since 2021, I have expanded my practice in working with minority ethic individuals in the UK and I've gained a deeper understanding of the interconnections of various social identities within an individual. Also, I've had the opportunity to offer specialised therapeutic treatment to people who experience eating difficulties in the NHS outpatient community service in 2022-23.
Over the past 2 years, I have been offering online/ in-person counselling sessions to individuals from different parts of the World, including Africa, France, Finland, Nigeria, Chile, Thailand, India, Korea, Japan, UAE, Singapore, Macau, Taiwan, and Mainland China. If your concerns are associated with your cultural/ ethnic background and the wider systems, I may be the right therapist for you.
**Sessions can be conducted in Cantonese, Mandarin and/or English.**
