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 would like to attend to feelings of shame, self-blame, and/or fear that have left them feeling disconnected from themselves. My approach is one that respects the many different ways people adapt to repeated, difficult life experiences. In my practice, I believe autonomy and pacing are essential elements of recovering from adversity. There is no expectation to move at any pace other than your own.
The approach I use 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 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 and reclaim their identity in a safe and 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 or assault
The unique grief that comes from a loss of personal identity or a sense of safety
Grief after the loss of a loved one

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.
