Counselling services

A compassionate, humanistic counsellor

I’m a PACFA‑registered clinical counsellor with over 14 years of experience supporting individuals and families across Hong Kong and Australia. My work is grounded in a humanistic, trauma‑informed, and integrative approach — offering a calm space where your stories can be heard and held with care.

I support clients navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, migration and cultural transitions, relationship challenges, and the quieter moments of life change. I value collaboration, curiosity, and the wisdom you already carry, and I walk alongside you at a pace that feels safe and steady.

Sessions are available in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, offered via telehealth or in Perth. Clients often describe our work together as gentle, grounding, and deeply respectful of their unfolding chapters.

At the heart of my practice is the belief 「以生命影響生命」— that our lives and stories shape one another. This guides the way I listen, accompany, and honour each person’s unfolding chapters.

The Story Behind Seed for Stories

The name Seed for Stories is inspired by a youth program I co‑created in Hong Kong called "Seeder" — a name chosen by the young people themselves. Together, we created a space where stories could be shared, hope could grow, and people could feel seen. That experience continues to shape my counselling practice today.

I believe every person carries a seed of strength, healing, and growth within them. Like a seed, growth cannot be rushed — it flourishes when nurtured with safety, compassion, and understanding. My role is to offer a gentle, culturally responsive, and non‑judgmental space where your story can be heard, your strengths rediscovered, and your path forward can unfold at your pace.
