Bio

As a social worker born and raised in Hong Kong, I bring with me a deep-rooted belief in the importance of family-based practice for fostering optimal child and youth development. Throughout my dedicated professional practice, I have specialized in providing compassionate support to children and their families facing diverse challenges, recognizing the crucial role parents play in their child’s development. Central to my approach is the creation of a safe, warm, and supportive space for young clients to explore their emotions, empowering them to tap into their inherent resilience and strength to achieve well-being. Through a combination of Child-Centered Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Art and Music Facilitation, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Narrative Therapy, I tailor interventions to meet the unique needs of each client. My experience extends to addressing various emotional issues such as anxiety, depression, as well as supporting children with special needs like ASD and ADHD.

作為一位在香港成長的社會工作員,我相信以家為本對促進兒童和青少年發展至關重要。在過往的工作,我為不同兒童及其家庭提供情緒支援,明白到父母在孩子發展中扮演的關鍵角色。我希望營造一個安全、溫暖和具鼓勵性的空間,讓兒童及青少年學會認識和探索情緒,使他們更能夠發揮情緒復原和抗逆能力。透過結合兒童為本遊戲治療(Child-Centered Play Therapy)、認知行為治療(Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)、藝術和音樂、應用行為分析(Applied Behavioural Analysis )和敘事治療(Narrative Therapy),我嘗試運用不同介入手法回應不同個案的需要。我對處理兒童及青少年的情緒問題亦有經驗,如焦慮症、抑鬱症,以及患有特殊需要的個案,如自閉症譜系障礙(ASD)和注意力不足過動症(ADHD)。
