Modern, relational therapy—tailored to you.
Trauma-informed therapy and EMDR therapy, based in Hong Kong
Welcome, I’m Alli.
I’m a psychotherapist trained in Canada and based in Hong Kong.
My life has taught me to appreciate how complex it is to be human. I understand how adversity can push us into survival mode, and how this can cause us to lose connection with ourselves and others during the times when connection is needed most. Complexity can have an isolating effect in a world that shies away from the more painful parts of the human experience. One of my hopes is that therapy can be a space that counters this isolation.
Trauma-informed therapy welcomes and affirms the most complex parts of our humanity.
Who I work with
I work with adults (18+) who are recovering from stress or trauma.
My approach respects the many different ways people adapt to repeated, difficult life experiences. My role is to offer a steady and compassionate presence as my clients recover from these experiences. There is no expectation to be anyone other than yourself or to move at any pace other than your own.
My practice tends to be well suited for people who identify as highly sensitive and/or creative at heart, people who have felt the need to hide or protect significant parts of themselves, and/or people who would like to feel more at ease in their relationships. Many of my clients are LGBTQ+ people wanting to explore, deepen, or reclaim their identity in an affirming space.
Some experiences that I work with often in my practice:
The lasting effects of inconsistent or neglectful childhoods
Systemic violations of trust and safety such as organized scams, spiritual trauma, or discrimination
Harms based on gender/sexuality such as harassment, prejudice, or assault
The unique grief that comes from a loss of personal identity or a loss of personal sense of safety
Grief after the loss of a loved one

I keep this page updated to indicate whether I am taking on new clients. I offer complimentary introductory calls.
My background
I strive to acknowledge the many complex layers of people’s stories.
I am drawn to this work because of its complexity—it inspires my curiosity. To me, it is an honour to walk alongside my clients as they navigate some of life’s most daunting challenges. I love what I do.
