I am a Registered Counsellor with BACP in the UK with 30 years of professional work experience in human resources. In 2017, I graduated with a Master in Social Sciences (Counselling) at the University of Hong Kong, and I moved to the UK in November 2021. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbt-related issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. I was volunteering as a counsellor in Hong Kong and I have worked with clients who struggled with family, relationship, LGBT-related, hearing-impairment, career development, depression and anxiety issues. My approach is to combine CBT, emotion-focused therapy and Bowen's Family System Theories in my practice. I look forward to providing my support to you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
