I currently work as a counsellor in private practice, specializing in supporting adults, teens and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.

My journey to counselling has been enriched by my international professional experience. Prior to private practice, I worked as a school counsellor at an international high school in Hong Kong, where I supported students, parents, and staff from over 40 different nationalities.

Before transitioning into counselling, my career was rooted in humanities research and education, including teaching cultural studies courses at The University of Hong Kong and The University of Oslo. During this period, I had the privilege of conducting research as a Fulbright Scholar at UC Berkeley and the University of Washington, Seattle. My humanities background continues to inform my understanding of human psychology, including the impact of social norms, gender roles and cultural values on human behavior.

I have also successfully run a career coaching business in Hong Kong, offering both individual coaching and professional workshops. As a result, I am acutely aware of the professional challenges faced by professionals in various sectors, including law, education, technology, finance, maritime, and non-profit.
