I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 14 years' experience of working in the NHS, predominantly within hospital and sexual health services. I have been working in private practice since 2019. 

 

I was raised in Hong Kong but have lived in the UK since 2003. My expatriate upbringing afforded me a number of privileges including an interest in diversity of experience and identity. My decision to become a psychologist was born out of an interest in people, my previous experiences of living with mental health difficulties, and a desire to support people who are in distress. I believe strongly in the therapeutic importance of considering both the mind and body, and have interests in trauma, attachment, and gender.

​

I seek to support people to separate themselves from the problems they live with and to view distress with compassion and as a response to the violation of something held precious, rather than a personal failing or weakness. It is important to me to also attend to context and to think about the factors outside of individual experience that may be contributing to the problem. I have specialist skills in working with people across the lifespan and offer individual assessment and therapy for challenges related to physical, mental and sexual health. All gender and sexual identities are welcomed and I am committed to talking about power and how it operates across multiple contexts.
