You can start small.

It's a free 30-minute video call. You tell me a little about what's brought you here, ask me anything you like, and we both see whether it feels like a good fit. It's not a counselling session, and there's no pressure to continue.

That's completely normal, and most people don't know where to start. You don't need to prepare anything. You can begin with whatever feels most present, and we'll take it from there together.

Sessions are 50 minutes and HK$700 each. Your first conversation is free. I'll share payment and cancellation details before we start.

Yes. What you share stays between us. The exceptions are rare and I'll explain them clearly before we begin: if someone's safety is at serious risk, or if the law requires me to share information. I'd always try to talk to you first.

A good friend loves you, which means they also have opinions, history and feelings about your situation. Here, the space is entirely yours. I'm trained to listen without needing anything from you, and to help you see patterns that are hard to see from inside.

Not at all. My own faith is part of why I do this work, but it's never something you need to share. If you'd like it to be part of our conversations, it can be. If not, it won't come up unless you bring it.

It depends on what you're bringing. Some people find clarity in a handful of sessions, while others stay longer to work through something deeper. We'll check in regularly, and you're in control of the pace.

For most people, yes. All you need is a private space, a stable internet connection and a device with a camera. Many people say they open up more easily from a place where they feel at home.

Yes. You are never obliged to continue. If it doesn't feel like the right fit, please let me know, and I'll gladly help you find someone who is.

Yes. Before we meet together, I speak with each of you individually, so we can be sure that joint sessions will be safe and helpful for you both.

I'm a counsellor. I don't diagnose or prescribe medication. If you'd benefit from a psychiatrist, psychologist or your doctor, I'll say so and help you find the right person. Counselling is a great place to make sense of what you're feeling and build a way forward.
