About me
Have you read self help books and followed 10-step programs and the effects never seemed to last?
Are you stuck again in your situation?
Do you feel guiltyavocating for yourself?
If so, I want to tell you:
Yes you can find a way out of this rut, and live a more honest and more fulfilling life.
Hello 你好, I am an English, Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese speaking MBACP psychotherapist and Certified Canadian Counsellor. I combine my counselling and conflict resolution background with my lived experience as a Hong Kong-Canada-UK immigrant to support my clients.
Since 2001 I worked professionally as a behavioural interventionist, Canadian school youth worker, Scottish school counsellor, and now counsellor and psychotherapist in London.
Unsure about starting therapy? That's ok.

I look forward to helping you live a more stress free and authentic life.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
