About Clare:
Psychotherapist and School Counsellor
Through exploring our pasts and assessing the present, we can gain the insights we need to make meaningful change for the future. This mental and emotional healing requires vulnerability, support, and empowerment – core tenets of Clare’s approach. By unpacking our experiences, our reflections, our feelings, we can build on existing strengths to develop the confidence and self-awareness to tackle life’s challenges.
Clare’s experience is broad, having worked with children, teens, and adults in both individual and group settings. She has worked with children with a range of developmental or behavioural challenges. In her role as a secondary school counsellor, she has supported adolescents struggling with self-esteem, school-based challenges (avoidance, academic stress), and learning differences. With adults, she has worked with individuals with diagnosed mental health differences and those facing parenting challenges, suicidal ideation, and isolated or complex trauma. She caters to clients’ specific needs by using a combination of evidence-based practices (i.e. CBT, EFT, EMDR, Gottman Couples Therapy).
Clare was born and raised in Hong Kong, and speaks English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. She obtained her training from Durham University (UK) and Columbia University (USA).
Clare consults in English.
