$1300 HKD for 60 minute sessions, $1500 HKD for 75 minute sessions, $1700 for 90 minute sessions.

It will take at least 3-4 sessions to establish a thorough picture of your concerns and your overall hopes for therapy. From there, we will dedicate subsequent sessions to addressing those concerns. How long this takes depends on your individual needs.

Most of my clients work with me for 6+ months. Our process is in-depth and sometimes nonlinear. It takes time, care, and patience to recover from adversity and experience lasting relief.

I believe in flexible care that is responsive to your needs, and I collaborate with my clients closely to best “map out” a way forward that feels doable and comfortable.

Some folks prefer brief therapy, and depending on your needs, I may be able to tailor my approach to help you make meaningful progress within 8-20 sessions.

In the beginning, it is ideal to see each other weekly in order to build momentum and establish comfort in our working relationship. Oftentimes, after a period of weekly sessions, clients taper down to biweekly or monthly sessions, or even come in on an as-needed basis. We can touch base on this throughout the process.

I know that weekly sessions do not suit everyone’s budget, schedule, or needs. While some regularity is required for therapy to be effective, I am open to different configurations. If you do not want or need to come weekly, that is completely fine and we can plan together for what it will look like for you to come in at a regularity that suits you.

I do not bill directly to insurance. Please see your insurance provider’s mental health offerings to determine whether you can submit a claim for my services. Many insurance providers in Hong Kong do cover psychotherapy. I can provide official invoices that are compliant with your insurance company’s claim submission requirements.

Yes, I am qualified to provide professional psychotherapy services for individuals.

To obtain this qualification, I completed graduate level coursework through an accredited Canadian institution at the Master’s level for 2.5 years, and an intensive, supervised 500+ hour practicum placement over 8 months. I have also participated in extensive additional training to build specialized expertise in trauma-informed care and relational trauma treatment. You can read more about my credentials by visiting the About Me page and scrolling to the bottom.

I am certified with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) as a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). I am also a member of the Psychotherapy Society of Hong Kong (PSHK), the Hong Kong Professional Counselling Association (HKPCA), and a Member of the EMDR Association of Hong Kong. These organizations provide the ethical framework I use for ensuring a safe, well-informed, and effective psychotherapy practice.

I offer both in-person and online sessions, and the choice is completely yours. We can even try both to see what you’d prefer. We can discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each in our initial phone call.

I work with adults and young adults (18+).

If you are a teen or a parent looking for a therapist for your teen, I’ll happily put you in contact with a trusted colleague of mine who has experience working with adolescents.

I do not offer couple or family therapy at this time. If you are looking for a couple’s therapist, I am happy to assist you with a referral to another great clinician in Hong Kong.

I sometimes work with families on a consultation basis. For example, by strategizing with a family to help them better understand how an individual with a complex trauma history can be supported.

Depending on licensing requirements and local regulations, I may be able to work with international clients. Please reach out to me with your location so I can determine if this is possible. Our timezone differences will have to align, too!

I also felt some hesitation the first time I entered therapy.

I recommend trying out a free consultation call to determine whether you can imagine yourself becoming comfortable in sessions with me. You can hear my voice, feel how our conversation flows, and ask me about anything related to therapy. There is no expectation to talk about anything emotionally painful during our initial call.

From there, you will likely have a better idea of what you’d like to do, and you can take some time to reflect on our conversation and let me know if you’d like to move forward. There is no obligation and I encourage everyone to chat with a few different therapists to see who feels like the right fit.

I am happy to refer you to another qualified professional in Hong Kong if I don’t end up being the therapist for you. My hope is for each person I speak with to find a therapist they feel great about.
