I am a clinical psychologist with experience in diverse settings including public hospitals and non-governmental organizations. (My Qualifications) In my private practice, I have worked extensively with clients having depression, anxiety issues, relationship problems, childhood trauma and complicated grief.

In the past, I have worked extensively with dying patients and those fighting or recovering from serious illnesses like cancer, working with patients and their family members suffering from depression and anxiety. I am also part of the Supporting team in Hong Kong Integrated Oncology Centre.

I am very much interested in the use of mindfulness to support well-being. I personally experience changes after practicing Mindfulness. Mindfulness also led me to learn pain meditation which in turn helped me delivering my baby without medication and screaming (no, no sound was made at all in the process!) I have completed a series of teacher's training and participated in a number of meditation retreats, as well as worked with the Chinese University of Hong Kong to research the application of mindfulness for complicated grief. I have run workshops on mental health topics, and currently teaching Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to helping professionals and the public.
I was driven by passion in my role as a helping professional. Even while witnessing immense emotional and physical suffering, as well as death, I developed a strong faith in each individual's potential for healing and growth. I treasure my time with my clients for the insights and hope which every encounter contributes to.
