Evidence-based and person-centred online therapy, at your pace

Hi there, welcome and thank you for your visit.

I'm Bonnie, and I believe that knowing who your therapist is as a human being is crucial in deciding whether we might be a good fit for working together. I am a queer, bilingual Clinical Psychologist who has lived, studied, and worked in Hong Kong, Canada, and the UK. I appreciate the ways our identities and life experiences shape who we are and how we move through the world, as well as the very human desire to be seen in the fullness of our identities without judgment or assumptions.

In therapy sessions, I am warm, authentic, and interactive. I strive to hold your experiences with nuance, and I hope you can feel safe knowing that I see you as a whole person in all your complexities. It is important to me that I support you in exploring your experiences with compassion and sensitivity.

Sometimes we need a dedicated space outside of our day-to-day lives. Maybe you’d like to explore how your early life experiences have shaped your present attachments and relationships. Or you might be seeking support on major life transitions, self-esteem issues, harsh self-talk, shame, or guilt. Maybe you simply want to slow down and reflect on various aspects of your experiences. Whatever you bring, it is my priority to make you feel respected, seen, and heard in all of our interactions. I am also a firm believer that there’s room within the therapeutic process for creativity - such as the use of imagery work, or bringing in your favourite literature/TV/movies/arts as anchors to discuss your emotional experiences. I am here to make space for difficult things, but also for humour and celebrations of your humanity.

A core goal of my practice is to create an environment where you feel safe to express yourself fully, without judgment. Having had the opportunity to work in a low-barrier women's shelter, a safe injection site, community centres, cancer wards, elderly homes, public healthcare clinics, and the streets in various countries, I recognise the varied and colourful lives we lead beyond labels and descriptors. I have worked extensively with the LGBTQ+ community and at one of Europe's largest HIV and sexual health clinics, and providing affirming support for people of all backgrounds and identities is something I am very passionate about. For further flexibility, I also offer therapy in both English and Cantonese.

You might be looking for focused discussions over a few sessions or a longer therapeutic relationship - I'm happy to work at the pace that feels right for you. I offer therapy in both English and Cantonese. Outside of clinical work, I enjoy being involved with research into LGBTQ+ experiences and issues related to death and dying, topics close to my heart that I feel passionate about in terms of improving access, awareness, and open dialogue.

If you think we might be a good fit or are curious to learn more, please feel free to arrange a call to get a sense of how I work.

I feel deeply privileged to be trusted with people's life stories, and I hope to have the opportunity to co-create a space with you where you can explore freely and safely.
