FAQ
Do you work with trauma and long-standing patterns? Yes. We work with trauma-related stress and long-standing emotional/relational patterns—especially when reactions feel “stuck.”
What are somatic approaches, and how do they relate to schema therapy?Somatic approaches build body-based awareness and nervous system regulation (e.g., noticing tension, overwhelm, shutdown). Schema therapy helps you understand and change deeper patterns (schemas and modes). Together, they support lasting change.
Do you offer therapy in English? Yes—sessions are available in English and Spanish.
Ofreces terapia en Español? Sí. Soy Latinoamericana, nacida en Lima-Perú y estaría feliz de poder ayudarte en nuestro idioma.
Are you familiar with the experiences expats go through in Hong Kong ? Yes. I've been in Hong Kong for the last 13 years, 15 years in Asia and 6 years in England. So, yes! I completely empathise with feeling unrooted, going through cultural shock, and trying to balance life and work while trying to create a 'home' as we go.
Do we have to discuss traumatic events in detail? No. We use paced, consent-based work. You never have to relive details—therapy focuses on stabilization, regulation, and what feels tolerable.
How many sessions will I need? It depends on your goals. We’ll discuss this during your intro call and can agree on a suitable plan.
What is the complimentary 20-minute intro call? A free 20-minute call to share what you’re seeking, confirm fit, and answer questions about how therapy works.
How is Male Focused Therapy different from any other type of therapy?Choosing a female therapist can offer a powerful clinical advantage for men looking to heal relational patterns, as it provides a direct, real-time corrective emotional experience in a safe environment.
Are you able to help if I’m experiencing acute suicidality and/or active psychosis? If case of acute suicidality, active psychosis, immediate danger, please seek urgent services help right away (In Hong Kong: Caritas Family Crisis Support Centre Hotline Service & Family Crisis (24 hours) 18288 | Hospital Authority - Mental Health Direct (24 hours) 2466 7350).
